Overview
Property code: OC-WAG712

This traditional 3-bedroom Welsh cottage at the foot of The Carneddau mountains boasts a warming wood burner set into an impressive stone fireplace and stunning views out towards the Menai Strait and Anglesey. The perfect place to put your feet up and relax before breaking out the BBQ and cooking up a storm against the breath-taking backdrop. After a day exploring the brilliant local attractions, enjoy a family meal in the spacious open plan kitchen/dining room before retreating to one of 3 welcoming bedrooms - ready to discover somewhere new tomorrow! 

An ideal base for exploring both sea and mountains; there are great mountainous routes to follow including the Snowdonia Slate Trail and Ogwen Valley as well as some fantastic local beaches and watersports opportunities to be found along The Menai Strait and Anglesey.

There's an abundance of local attractions, to suit all visitors, including the Llanberis-Snowdon Railway, GreenWood Park and various Zip World adventures (think zip-lining over abandoned quarries, bouncing through a disused mine and discovering new heights along a tree-top course).

The views are utterly stunning. And its very peaceful!! Enclosed garden, great for the dogs. Small stream at the end of the garden. Plenty of parking. Great water pressure and a brilliant shower for a holiday let! With the heating on its lovely and warm. Lit the fire one night, its a very good log burner. Characterful thick walls. Its in the Read moremiddle of nowhere, yet only minutes from civilisation. Welcome milk, and Welsh cakes, never expected but always appreciated. Lovely touch! As a couple we literally used only half the property, we slept in the central bunk bed room as it was a cosier space. Hardly used the lounge as kitchen/diner so big. So this is in fact an awesome family cottage all one the ground floor, lots of space! Thoroughly recommend this unique stunning location and solid large cottage. Hide

Cottage is both spacious and cosy with fabulous views. Great location for exploring Snowdonia and Anglesey and short 10 min drive to Bangor with many supermarkets and shops. We loved the sheep and cows in surrounding fields. Lovely walks from the doorstep. We were all sad to leave at the end of the week.

Beautiful location overlooking Anglesey and the sea. Comfortable cottage with good facilities. Great location for exploring all the area has to offer but remote enough for a very peaceful break. Our only disappointment was the 5 pm check in which we didnt realise when we booked.

A very nice place for a holiday in beautiful Wales. Especially the kitchen, with large windows, where you can enjoy the sun by day and sunsets at evening. The views are stunnishing. The grounds are fenced so dogs stay safe. It is a truly silent place and both Anglesey and the Mountains are nearby.

Perfect location to enjoy the quietude of the countryside and watch the sunset over the Mennai. Easy access to all the wonderful castles and mountains in the area. The last little section you need to drive to get to the cottage is through a field gate and is a little rutted.

A beautiful cottage in a quite remote location with great views towards Bangor and the Menai straits. This is a great base to explore north Wales and Anglesey, has the feeling of 'getting away from it all' but only 15 minutes from shops and amenities of Bangor, and 5 mins from the A55 expressway. The house is nicely refurbished and warm with a log Read moreburner, and good for people with dogs. There is a large sitting room and there are lovely views from the dining area in the kitchen. The two gates to the property are slightly awkward to open, needing two people, and the garden nice but not completely dog-proof, so care needs to be taken due to the flocks of sheep in proximity. The Wifi in the house is functional but patchy. Overall though, we had a really nice time there and would recommend. Hide

The cottage is located on a hill side with beautiful views of the fields and sea. The rooms are clean and adequately furnished. The kitchen was well equipped for short or long stays. The addition of the gas BBQ made for a great outdoor experience looking out onto the fields. The only challenge we had, was the water pressure. Don't take a showeRead morer when anyone is using any taps or toilets anywhere else in the cottage ;-) Hide
