This holiday home lies close to the town of Caernarfon and there is much to see in the area, including mighty Caernarfon Castle, the Galeri Arts Centre or take a trip on a steam train on the Welsh Highland Railway to Beddgelert. Children will also love Caernarfon’s Fun Centre (Yr Hwylfan), and Gypsy Wood Park in nearby Bontnewydd. It is also just a short journey to the Isle of Anglesey with its spectacular 125 miles of coastline and fascinating places to visit such as Beaumaris with its Edward I castle, Red Wharf Bay and the beautiful and leafy Newborough Forest. In the other direction is Snowdon which, at 3,560ft, is the highest mountain in Wales. A more relaxing way than climbing to the top is to take the train to the visitor centre at the summit - on a clear day the views are spectacular! The Victorian town of Llandudno, Llanberis and picturesque Betws-y-Coed are all within easy reach.

The cottage was a great and unique find. It was nice and private. The place was very peaceful and we enjoyed our stay. The scenery was beautiful and the cottage was spacious - great place for a family to stay and such good value for money! The host was also responsive and we had things we needed such as cutlery, pots and pans, etc. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay, the barn is huge and is in a lovely, quiet, peaceful setting. There’s a log burner huge couches for everyone to sit together. We were a party of 12 and there was enough space for us all, with 2 kids. The place was lovely and warm and the owner had provided wine, logs and biscuits on arrival. Value for money I’d recommend, it’s not the ritz could do with a small spruce up. But if you want a great place to stay for a large group in a beautiful part of wales I would thoroughly recommend. Close to amenities but far enough away to enjoy the countryside.

Size wise this is a really good property, however it does need a good clean, deep clean, there were cobwebs and dirt throughout the cottage.
