Michelle August 2026

“An absolutely lovely, spacious and clean property I would have no hesitation in recommending.”

The views from the house are incredible and large garden at the rear and a cosy private space at the front. The bedrooms were spacious and a huge landing area my son used to practice his guitar. A fabulous rainfall shower was a real treat with plenty of room. The cottage is in a peaceful hamlet and a shop was a short drive away. Lots of lovely places to visit in mid Wales and we always looked forward to heading 'home' at the end of each day.

- Michelle, August 2026

Your welcome and thank you for leaving our cottage immaculate. Hopefully see you again in the future . Property Owner
Kate August 2026

“A spotlessly clean, quaint cottage for our short stay in Wales.”

It had everything we needed as a family of five and my boys especially loved the garden and exploring out of the back gate! There’s so much to do nearby that we were spoilt for choice. Great to meet Brychan before we left and thank him in person for such a lovely cottage!

- Kate, August 2026

A really lovely family, such a pleasure to meet and host. Our cleaning lady was really touched with how clean the cottage was left for us and we loved the thoughtful bits written in the guest book. Welcome back any time. Brychan Property Owner
Katarzyna July 2026

“We really loved this place and would highly recommend it to anyone.”

It’s perfect for a short getaway, but also an excellent choice for a longer vacation. We stayed for just three days but we felt as relaxed and refreshed as if we had been away for at least a week. It was the perfect place to unwind, and we truly enjoyed.

- Katarzyna, July 2026

Your welcome It was lovely meeting you and thank you for leaving our cottage clean. Best Wishes Brychan Property Owner

“Tan- Y- Capel was spotlessly clean and comfortable.”

The cottage had everything we could possibly need during our stay and was situated in the most beautiful location. The locals were extremely friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this property. We loved every minute and was not ready to go home.

- Lianne, October 2025

Martin October 2025

“A well-appointed comfy spacious nicely modernised village house situated just below the historic Bont Chapel and above the Afon Twymyn in a super location with great walks from the door.”

The area has a fascinating social history and there are some amazing sites closeby for example the views from the Wynford Vaughan-Thomas memorial across towards Machynlleth, the descent down Llwbr y Ceirw into the Forest of Dreams commune (both near Dylife) and the Clywedog Dam and lead mine. Well worth the trip.

- Martin, October 2025

Thank you both for staying with us. It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you so much for the local history information you sent me. Best Wishes Brychan Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location.”

Surrounded by fields. Cottage was very well equipped, kitchen had everything you would need with family dining area. Cozy lounge with wood fire, basket of logs supplied. Comfortable beds and great shower. Lovely seating area in the garden, fully enclosed, great for our dog to explore. Good location for exploring Snowdonia.

Paul May 2025

“Beautifully kept cottage, in a very quiet picturesque setting.”

The bedrooms are spacious, and there is plenty of room to sit and watch tv in the living room. The kitchen is well equipped with all that's needed for cooking and there is a good-sized seating area from which to eat meals. The gardens back and front are secure, and the ability exists straight out the rear of the garden to take a walk across the fields to the next tiny village. It is a great base from which to explore this part of Wales.

- Paul, May 2025

Your welcome. Thank you for leaving our cottage clean and tidy. Property Owner

“Lovely property with all of the facilities that we needed.”

Very clean. Good to meet and talk to Brychan (stones of great interest to us all). Other locals were very friendly. Facilities were good for our dog with the enclosed garden, and field behind. Pleasant local walks and within driving distance of lots of other attractions. With a good standard of modernisation it was warm with plenty of hot water and a good heating system. Internet connection good. Would have no hesitation in coming back again, or recommending to others.

- Alan, September 2024

Thank you very much for the great review. Was a pleasure hosting and meeting you. Property Owner
Richard August 2024

“Fabulous location, fabulous house, an effortless country stay.”

We had a great stay, the inside space was as great as the outside which the kids loved. Walks were a short drive away. You felt away from it all but also a drive away from all the attractions and online shopping was perfect. Highly, highly recommended

- Richard, August 2024

Your welcome Thank you for the fantastic review. Best Wishes Brychan Property Owner

“Fabulous cottage in a wonderful location.”

The cottage is very peaceful, attractive, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It is also well located for access to superb walking from the door and to all parts of mid-Wales. We had a wonderful stay and wish we had booked two weeks ! We will certainly return.

Michelle June 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tan-y-Capel.”

The location is idyllic, peaceful and quiet. A lovely place to stay to de-stress and get away from the hum drum of life. Tan-y-Capel is a lovely cottage - very clean, well equipped and comfortable. It has a large tiered secure garden which offers a safe environment for your dog to wander/explore freely. There is the added bonus of a lovely walk through the fields and woodland direct from the rear of the property. Diolch yn fawr Brychan am y croeso ar sgwrs hir phan cwrddo'n ni a chi. (Thank you Brychan for your welcome and the long chat when we met up with you).

- Michelle, June 2024

Mi oedd yn bleser cwrdd a chi (Was a pleasure meeting you) Hopefully meet again, perhaps you can try our shepherds hut when it’s up and running on the farm. Property Owner
Lesley June 2024

“A great place to base ourselves for a weekend on our bikes.”

Rebecca May 2024

“We had a lovely stay here and would highly recommend Tan Y Capel.”

The property was spotless and the most well equipped cottage we have stayed in. The host was very friendly and welcoming. The garden is also lovely, which my children and dog enjoyed. The cottage is perfect for a family break. It is also in a beautiful area with walks right out the door. We travelled round, but it's an ideal location with so many lovely places just a short, scenic drive away. We like to go to different places but won't hesitate to return here again in the future.

- Rebecca, May 2024

Hello Thank you so much for the great review and thank you so much also for leaving the cottage spotless clean. You’re welcome back anytime. Brychan Property Owner
Rhiannon May 2024

“A really lovely incredibly well equipped cottage, with an amazing disco shower!”

Plentiful supply of logs for the woodburner, which was great in the cooler evenings. Well placed in that we were easily able to travel and visit a lot of places. Good local walks, and many tea rooms with lots of good cake.

- Rhiannon, May 2024

Thank you both for the great review. It was lovely meeting you and your welcome back any time, you left the cottage immaculate . Property Owner
Alan September 2023

“Had a fabulous stay at Tan Y Capel, everything you need for a very comfortable holiday.”

The cottage was clean and spacious. Our host left us some Welsh cakes and milk which was very welcome and he even called round to see us after we arrived. Close to Aberdovey which has a lovely beach where we took our dog, other beaches not far away too, plus woodland walks which we loved. Lots of places to visit, we stayed for 2 weeks and didn’t run out of things to do even in wet weather. Would highly recommend Tan Y Capel for a holiday.

- Alan, September 2023

Hello Was great meeting you Property Owner
Joanne March 2023

“A beautiful cottage, very well equipped and very clean.”

There are various local walks from the door and the village itself is quiet and peaceful. The owner popped around to check everything was ok for us and left us some milk and Welsh cakes which was thoughtful. Our dog enjoyed the secure garden and it was nice to wake up to the sound of birdsong. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Joanne, March 2023

The cottage is in a beautiful location, within easy reach of many places to visit. Immaculately kept and everything you need for an enjoyable home from home stay. The complimentary logs were very welcome on our first night, as were the milk and welshcakes very thoughtful. The enclosed garden was brilliant for the dogs. Owner was on hand if needed as lives close by. Would highly recommend.

“Tan y Capel is a beautifully renovated cottage in a pretty hamlet where peace and quiet are plentiful with milk in the fridge, tea/coffee and Welsh cakes awaiting.”

We’ve had a lovely time with our dog exploring many new areas of beautiful mid & north Wales which is surrounded by stunning scenery. We had organised a Morrisons delivery before we left which arrived with no problems and by a really friendly driver. The owner of the property Brychan popped by to meet us and as he’s local, he’s on hand for any issues. Would definitely recommend and will return to the lovely property.

Your very welcome. Property Owner
