Access Statement

This 100 year old Lodge Cottage is a detached property with adjacent close car parking. There is an outside wall light directly over the parking and front path area leading to the front door. The back door and path area also has an outside wall light. The rear garden has a flight of some five steps leading to a patio area. Though there is a handrail here we think it would be unsuitable for both the infirm and young children. The front door has a 100mm threshold up, but the back door is on the same level as the path with a storm-guard protector. On the ground floor, the sitting room and kitchen has adequate space for manoeuvring but the doorway between the two rooms is too narrow for a wheelchair. From the kitchen, there is a small flight of 3 steps leading to a higher ground floor area. This flight has a handrail set at 900mm above the pitch line of the steps. This leads to a hall area with rear access through to the back door and good access to ground floor bedroom and adjacent bathroom all on the same level. Both these rooms have good space and light. The staircase (from the sitting room) has one initial step of 200mm to a landing area leading to the main staircase. This has a good bottom and top newell support with a handrail on the right and additional safety rail on the left (secured to wall). Because of the age of the building the stairs are a little steep and narrow (again this would be unsuitable for the infirm and young children). The main first floor bedroom on the right has good space and light. To the left a second first floor bedroom has less room for manoeuvre but lighting is just as good. At the end of the landing is a small bathroom/WC and has less space for manoeuvre than the downstairs bathroom. Lighting is good. The walls throughout are light in colour. Natural and artificial lighting is good. The TV has teletext by remote control. All electric power points (except kitchen worktop levels) are at 450mm and light switches at 1400mm.

Reviews

What a lovely holiday home. The owners Mr and Mrs Thomas couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. We found everything we could need. The house was comfortable and warm, The downstairs bedroom and bathroom were very welcome as I have limited mobility at the moment. The weather was reasonable and we were able to get out and about to do what we wanted to do. The house is within easy reach to road links for a wide range of attractions in North Wales. We all loved it.

Mrs C,

Fantastic hosts Beautiful cottage, loved the stable door design for the back door! Peaceful and idyllic walks from the front door, we and our two border collies had the best time and are already planning our next visit.

Mr B,

The cottage was comfortable and the real fire made it cosy on the chilly nights. The views over towards Snowdonia were amazing.

Mr W,

From start to finish this was a wonderful break. The prior communication was excellent and we were met by the lovely owners. The gave good advice on walks and made sure we were happy with everything before leaving us to enjoy our break. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need to enjoy a perfect home from home. Words cannot describe the views at this location they are absolutely breath taking. The Internet was excellent best we've had in a cottage break. The walks straight from the door are lovely. It's peaceful and surrounded by beautiful nature. The added bonus of having a paddock we could let our dog run in was great. Thanks so much.

Mrs T,

We had a lovely week in the Lodge. The owners were very friendly and ensured we knew how everything worked. We could relax knowing our dogs were secure in the garden. There are lovely views from the both inside the cottage and in the garden. We walked from the cottage to Caernarfon along the footpaths, which was enjoyable for both us and the dogs. We enjoyed a couple of meals at The Anglesey Arms, one outside with wonderful views over the Menai Straights, the other we sat inside where the dogs were welcome.

Mrs F,

A real home from home. Enclosed garden is great for dogs. Option of downstairs bedroom with bathroom opposite is good for people with compromised mobility. Thomas' really lovely hosts, greeted on arrival and when departing.

Mrs M,

We had a fabulous time. Great location and it’s equally as close to Anglesey as it is to Snowdonia. The views from the cottage are amazing. Louis and Sally were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely return

Mr Travis K,

The owners Louis and Sally were very helpful the location was beautiful with plenty of kindling and wood supplied for the log burner. The cottage was well equipped all topped off with lovely weather

Mr Ian C,

The cottage is lovely, just as it looks on the website, quaint and cosy and in a very peaceful area with great views of Snowdonia. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and kindly provided a thoughtful welcome pack on our arrival and logs for the fire as needed throughout our stay. The cottage is very relaxing and our dogs loved it there too. We enjoyed a very nice break.

Mrs Angela Y,

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.
