Caernarfon (county town of Gwynedd) has much historic and cultural importance in North Wales. It is a popular tourist spot with its impressive 13th Century castle, well preserved town walls and delightful water front. During the season there are guided tours of the castle and special events including historic pageants. There is also a station for the Welsh Highland Railway, which passes through dramatic scenery, and fishing trips are available from the harbour. Another attraction within walking distance of the town centre is Segontium, a Roman fort and museum, housing many important finds. Caernarfon offers a wide selection of shops and places to eat and is close to the lovely beaches of the Isle of Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula as well as the mountains and rivers of Snowdonia, including the renowned mountaineering town of Llanberis at the foot of Mount Snowdon.

Peaceful location and surrounding area. Excellent walking from the doorstep, shops not too far away. Good location for day trips.

We were greeted by the owner and her dog who were very accommodating with a lovely personality. The cottage was very clean and cosy and superb views from inside and out, we felt very at home. A very restful and enjoyable holiday.

Great location with fantastic views. Ideal place to explore North Wales with great local walks and the bonus of the train from running along the bottom of the fields.
