Bryn Awel, Peniel

The property was a lovely home, plenty of room in a rural and quiet area with stunning views, great for big families, could do with some maintenance and updating in some areas,but as a big family,we all enjoyed and loved every moment of our stay.

The property was amazing and perfect for our weekend away. Couldnt have asked for anything better

Bryn Awel is a stunning property in an amazing location with highend facilities. There was more than enough space for our family of 10 adults and 8 young children to spend time together, but also room for us to chill in our own spaces when we needed to. We loved the outside spaces, especially the hottub and the pirate ship. The cinema room was a huge success with the grandchildren who used it as a theatre to rehearse and perform their own shows! The owners were very helpful. They communicated well and were quick to respond to any issues raised. They have provided so many thoughtful extras outdoor play equipment, indoor games, Sky package,dvds, tourist information etc and the welcome treats were a lovely surprise! We all had a brilliant week and didn't want to leave!

Nigel and Jane were great getting in contact with us and being there if we needed them. Great location for my friends Hen Party she absolutely loved it!

We received a phone call on the morning ot our let to say if we wanted to check in early we could! When we arrived at the house directions provided brilliant we were blown away!!! Never have we stayed anywhere so amazing! We felt at home immediately everything was as expected and more. The views from the house were breathtaking and so peaceful. It was well equipped with anything you could imagine you would need. I would without hesitation recommend this property to anyone!!! Thank you Nige and Jane for helping us make beautiful memories.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bryn Awel. The property was very clean and the facilities were great, the kids particularly loved the games and cinema rooms and the hot tub. The only thing missing was a coffee potmachine but would have no hesitation recommending this property, it's fantastic.

Had a wonderful time for my 60th birthday. The spacious house was great to enable me to celebrate with my children and grandchildren. The cinema room and games room went down a treat with young and old and the hot tub was fabulous. We even had our own winter wonderland before we left! Would definitely recommend for family get togethers, hoping to get a trip in the Summer next time.

Beautiful house, well equipped with everything you could need, lovely welcome ... Beautiful house, well equipped with everything you could need, lovely welcome hamper, on arrival was very much appreciated, cinema room is fabulous and loved by all,, contact with the owner prior to arrival was very good, all in all an excellent home and we will definitely be looking to book again

My 11 friends and I absolutely loved the place. We stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The facilities were amazing and the kitchen was perfect for a large group of people or any families that want a holiday. The house is perfectly located with a quick 10 minute drive to Denbigh for any supplies, food, or exploring. The only things that I could possibly mention that were negative and they're incredibly minor are that the photos on the listing are older, which meant that some items in the house aren't there anymore or some extra additions are there now. The other thing was that the InternetWiFi was a tad slow in the house. Again, this is incredibly minor for families who want to get away from everything for a vacation. However, due to my visit having friends from all over Europe wanting to contact their families, browse for things to do, organize flights back and travel, it made it slightly awkward for them. The two negatives I listed are very very minor, definitely not something that would make me, and the others, not want to visit again. The owners were wonderful, helpful and accommodating. Definitely a very massive thank you to both of them!

Our experience was fantastic from start to finish, the children absolutely loved the whole place there was plenty for them to do so they were never bored. This was a weekend to make special memories for our family and this place provided it. Hosts were very accommodating I would recommend to everyone of any age.

We stayed for a week in August with our family , 6 adults , 4 children and a toddler. Bryn Awel is a lovely house , its seven bedrooms provided great accommodation especially the fabulous master suite although the outside decking could do with some attention as its looking tired. The downstairs bedroom lacked a dressing table and full length mirror which would have been useful. Plenty of downstairs space for all the family, cinema room and games room particularly popular and we watched a film as a family which was great. Outside plenty of seating, hot tub and bbq , although when we booked it was a gas bbq but although the photos still show this it is now a charcoal bbq which we didnt use as the weather was not favourable. One point is there are now no awnings or any parasols so on a warm day it would be quite hot as no shelter from the sun. This would have been an issue for us with small children. To get to the house you drive for about half a mile down a narrow track with overgrown verges which brushed against your car , middle of the week these were all strimmed and it was much better. Car does have scratches from these though but they should hopefully polish out. The worst challenge for us was getting up the drive due to the amount of stones that have accumulated at the bottom of the drive and it is on an incline , there was a lot of wheel spinning on our first attempt. If you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle as our daughter has it was a lot better . We were then advised that you need to approach it at speed and although that got us up the drive the noise it makes was very off putting. Unfortunately for this reason we would not return but it is a great property once you are in it .

Drive neads some attention at bottom

Great place, fab host and great facilities. We spent 2 days there with 8 adults and 8 kids and had a lovely time .plenty of space, hot tub and cinema a highlight and a great kitchen.

Our stay was perfect, the house was large enough for our group of 12 people. the facilities are excellent, from the jacuzzi to the games room and the cinema room. Plenty of things to do round about. We went crabbing with the children in Conway it was a great day out. Best day ever was Manorafon Farm in Abergeli. Never saw owners because no problems. it was EXCELLENT

We enjoyed our stay despite the storm. The 6 children age 316 enjoyed spending time in the games and cinema rooms and had plenty of space to play hide and seek. The sitting areas were comfortable and spacious. The dining room was perfect for us all to sit together. The views over the fields were lovely and the children loved watching the rabbits in the garden. It was only a half hour drive to visit Rhyl and Prestatyn.

We loved our stay in Bryn Awel. It was a family gathering and the house offers great areas for all the family to be together and interact. The cinema room and games room provided lots of entertainment. All the bedrooms are good sizes and plenty of bathrooms also. We didnt have the best weather but that made the indoor entertainment even more useful. Have already recommended this property to friends. Nigel and Jane were always contactable when needed.

We had a fantastic time at this property, it certainly exceeded expectations and facilities were excellent. A constructive comment would be that inevitably a property of this size requires maintenance and in places that was obvious however it did not detract at all from our experience and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic property and the owners are very helpful.

We loved staying at this holiday home. We came as a group of four families, and enjoyed every minute. Despite quite cold weather, there was a lot to do, and the nine kids especially enjoyed the games room and cinema room. The hot tub was a hit with us all! Nigel was very accommodating and helpful. Some great memories were made.

We all had a fabulous time, lots to do for all ages. The property was very clean and spacious. The lovely hosts left a wonderful welcome basket. They really can't help you enough and are only on the end of a phone call. What lovely people and house. Thank you so much!

We had a great time and enjoyed the facilities so much especially the cinema. Nigel was so accommodating making sure we settled well in the house for a week. He even suggested some sights to visits. The house was clean and we had a lovely time relaxing and making memories with our friends and family. Highly recommended.

Loved this house, had everything to entertain a big group. The owners were really friendly and helpful as well. Rooms were all decent size and comfortable. Will definitely be going again

The property was great for our family get awaycelebrations 4 generations. There was lots of space for everyone to enjoy 12. The cinema room was a great hit and the kids enjoyed the games room. As the weather was lovely we all enjoyed the hot tub and patio. The kitchen was well equipped. The only thing that was slightly missing was storage and surface space in some of the bedrooms, but we managed. The property has great views and is easy to find, eventhough down a single track. There was great communication with Jane, even recommending some local places. All the family really enjoyed our stay.

The perfect house for our family. We were all comfortable and had plenty of space. There were 16 of us and its difficult to find suitable places for us to stay. The cinema room was a great hit with the family. There were additional tables and benches that meant we could all sit together in the dining room for meals. Two fold up beds were provided for our two youngest grandchildren which meant we didnt have to use the sofa bed. The local roads and the driveway were a bit challenging for us East Anglians but the views were stunning and worth travelling around for. Plenty to do in the area for children and old fogeys. One little thing would have helped a bit, somewhere to hang our towels in the bedrooms so that they dried a bit a hook or rail maybe and a grab rail by the downstairs shower to help when stepping out. The downstairs shower was great and definitely the favourite! No one wanted to come home testaments of a great holiday.

We had a fabulous time. The property was very clean and well equipped. The children didnt want to come home, in fact I didnt myself. We had some lovely weather which was a bonus but even without the sunshine theres more than enough to keep everyone entertained. Would hire this property again

It's a fantastic property with great facilities. The owners were great, and left a gift basket which was a nice touch. 1010

We had a fabulous stay, so many positives. Something for all of the family, lovely to see the kiddies play area which is not on the site pictures. Great location, single track access is no problem.

A great location for a multigeneration family holiday. Loved the house and all the amenities. The house is set in beautiful countryside and we were lucky enough to have good April weather. The back patio, with the hot tub, was a real sun trap.

What a great property, what a great location. Four generations of our family plus partners loved everything about the property. Plenty of rooms, so we wasnt on top of each other. Cinema room was a hit for everyone, from Frozen for the kids, to football for the oldies, to a family quiz night. Would definitely book again. Communication during the week with owners Nigel & Jade was excellent. One item missing, yes we had the snow, and it was heavy and deep, grit box at top and bottom of the drive would have helped us, but we did get out eventually, and again Nigel and Jade were very understanding and even offered us to stay a further night or 2. Great holiday

Very good stay, no issues, well stocked. . loads of space. Really enjoyable stay all around!

This property surpassed our expectations from the outset. Kind and helpful owners to great facilities. Great stay.

Amazing stay at Bryn awel. There was 13 of us and every one of us rated the house & our stay. Loads to do and every room is beautiful. Would definitely recommend! We are all hoping to return next year!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely house. With a family group of 14 including Grandchildren there was something to occupy all, and with the space in the house we weren't on top of each other and had space to relax. Slight reaction to dog hairs downstairs, but after a good hoover that was soon sorted out. Had an issue with the downstairs shower which was sorted out quickly by the owners with no fuss. The view is lovely and it is so quiet, we would definately go again

My family had a fantastic week at this beautiful house. The kitchen had every utensil you could think of and was massive. The cinema room was fab for watching films the games room with the snooker table was great when everybody was up for the challenge. We spent lots of time in the hot tub. Everything about this house was fabulous and big. Would definitely recommend this house to my friends and family

Amazing property. Host Nigel was really friendly and always a phone call away. The property is much bigger in real life. Some many things to do in the house alone. Surrounding area is beautiful. I would happily stay again.

House was nice enough, however amenities were extremely lacking. No handsoap or hand towels in the toilets, only 1 towel each which isn't ideal with the hot tub. Yes it has a dryer but to wash and dry 8 towels would have taken a long time! Kitchen wise, significantly lacking. We had one small chopping board to cook and prepare food for 8 people, no scales or measuring jug, no large glasses, and some of the glasses we did have were chipped and cracked. We had to purchase tea towels, hand wash, cleaning cloths and scales. Having stayed in a large house like this before, we expected more, especially given the cost and the fact that its highly rated. Owner also rang on way home twice, they couldn't find one of the keys and if I didn't respond within 1 hour I would be charged for a locksmith. The key was in the room all along, and I didn't appreciate the tone used, especially as it was there all along and we'd left the house cleaner than when we arrived. Disappointing stay and wouldn't recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay! Nigel and Jane are such perfect hosts. They catered for our every need and where flexible and easy to reach. Would definitely return.

Lovely house in a gorgeous location. Very clean and the welcome hamper was a really nice touch. The only issue we had was the limited seating at the dining table. The house sleeps 16 but there were only 10 chairs so we split iur group between the dining room and kitchen. It was manageable but more chairs would have been better. Thanks for having us. Helen

Lovely property for a large group. Very spacious. There was 14 of us. Plenty of space for us all. The games room, cinema room and hot tub were great for the whole family. Lovely views from the property. The owners were very accommodating and helpful when we contacted them. One recommendation for the property is to have a bigger fridge and freezer. There were 2 fridges. One under counter and a fridge freezer in the main kitchen. We found this wasn't enough for 14 people. Would definitely stay at the property again.
