Welcome to Bron Y Gadair

Bron Y Gadair is a beautifully restored Regency farmhouse, steeped in history and surrounded by stunning landscapes. Located at the end of a small drive, it offers a peaceful retreat next to ancient farm ruins, with panoramic views stretching over Moel Y Gues and down towards the sea.

The expansive open-plan ground floor includes a well-equipped kitchen, a kitchen dining area that seats up to eight people and further dining area that seats up to ten people as well as a cozy log burner. A separate TV/playroom opens with 60 inch smart TV which leads onto a garden terrace, which is furnished for outdoor relaxation and includes a BBQ, while the fenced garden provides a safe space for children. Additional conveniences include a downstairs WC, utility room with a washer, dryer, and clothes pulley.

For cozy evenings, we provide a large basket of our own logs for the wood burner, and during the summer, a bag of charcoal for the BBQ.
