Bron Y Graig is a guest house and retreat centre on the slopes of the Berwyn mountains, looking out across the Dee Valley. Nic and Wendy run the place and live on site. One translation of the name is 'almost the rock', which tells you something about where it sits.

The house has spacious, cosy rooms, a licensed bar and a breakfast menu. Outside there are large gardens with valley views. For anyone bringing a bike, there is secure bike storage; for anyone caught in the rain, there are drying facilities. Pets are welcome.

On scheduled retreats the format changes. A full-board menu is written for the group rather than taken from a standard menu, and the scheduled retreat activities are included in the price. The page does not list which activities run on which retreat week, so ask Nic and Wendy directly before booking if a particular activity matters to you.

The location suits walkers, cyclists and anyone who wants the Berwyns and the Dee Valley without staying in a town. It is open year-round, so winter visits are possible. The page does not state instructor names, class timetables or a day-by-day programme for any retreat week.
