Access Statement

This is a typical farm building converted with sole access from the main yard. You may park directly outside the main entrance. To the side is a flight of six steps which lead to the garden in an elevated position for the views. The steps have low risers (150mm) and long treads (300mm) with a handrail on one side. We believe it would be unsuitable for the very old or very young but is reasonable accessible with care for most people. The main entrance has a 150mm threshold up and then the whole ground floor area is level. Most of the rooms are situated at ground floor level, i.e. kitchen, lounge/dining, bathroom and main bedroom. There is one small bedroom upstairs. The areas are uncluttered and have plenty of space; however the doorways are a little narrow for wheelchairs (700mm frame to frame). Most of these openings were existing. From the main entrance lobby there is a flight of steps leading to a first floor bedroom. There is a handrail on one side. The flight has tapered treads and turns left with the handrails continuous. Most of the walls are traditional stone with one or two walls painted pale. Lighting is very good throughout. The TV has remote control; there is no telephone. Electric power points are between 300mm and 350mm and light switches at 1500mm (approx).

Reviews

The granary cottage is excellent accommodation and value for money and I want to book for next year as soon I can

Mr P,

Lovely cottage, lovely views. The owners were very welcoming and very helpful giving me a lift to a garage when our car broke down. The area has so much to offer and the cottage was cosy and comfortable

Mrs S,

A beautiful building in a stunning location, and easy access to the surrounding area. Mr and Mrs Thomas were incredibly friendly and kind and made certain to add a personal touch, wherever possible, which was very much appreciated. We definitely hope to visit again.

Mr C,

We had a very enjoyable stay in The Granary. Warm welcome, pretty spot, lots to see and do in the area.

Mrs V,

Fabulous to be able to holiday with your four legged companions

Miss Jacqueline L,

Lovely accommodation, lovely setting, nice hosts. Ideal!

Mrs Carolyn S,

Very good accomodation with the perfect central location in North Wales. Contained everything needed for the stay, just a little dusty.

Miss Amy P,

Location

 The walled town of Caernarfon is one of the most popular places to visit in Wales. Here are Jacky’s top 7 things to see and do whilst on your holiday in the area:

  1. Top of the list has to be to visit the majestic Caernarfon Castle. Open all year, great for all the family and with an interesting Welsh Fusiliers museum.
  2. Take a stroll, or bike ride from the castle, along the walls and past the marina (bike hire available in the town). Enjoy stunning views across the Menai Straits to Anglesey. If feeling energetic, the cycle way continues to the pretty seaside village of Port Dinorwic (Felinheli). Alternatively take it easy and wander back to the many independent shops and cafés in Caernarfon.
  3. The Welsh Highland Railway starts in the town and makes its journey, passing underneath Snowdon, through the mountains to Porthmadog. Beddgelert is a pretty village on en route where you can take a riverside walk, or enjoy a swim! Visit the famous Gelert’s Grave or National Trust shop and sample the very popular Glaslyn ice creams.
  4. For the kids there’s a great outdoor play area and skate park just across the river in Caernarfon. If the weather is not up to scratch there’s an indoor play centre for children and adults, if you dare… I haven’t managed the steepest slide yet! There’s a leisure centre with swimming pool, and on the outskirts of town, Gypsy Wood Activity Park.
  5. My favourite place to eat is the Black Boy Inn, good welsh pub food in a busy, lively atmosphere. Alternatively, during the day, Fron Goch Garden Centre’s award winning restaurant serving home cooked food and cakes is a few miles walk/cycle along the Welsh Highland Railway (Sunday lunch here not to be missed).
  6. The Foryd Nature Reserve runs along the tidal estuary from Caernarfon, enjoying great views of Caernarfon Castle and the Llŷn Peninsula. Whilst there, visit the tiny church at Llanfaglan, romantically positioned overlooking Caernarfon Bay.
  7. Discover the Roman Fort of Segontium on the outskirts of Caernarfon. Built to defend the Roman empire against rebellious tribes, the fort survived until the end of the Roman occupation of Britain, no other fort in Wales was held for so long.
