“The Cottage is a tardis.”

Everything you could wish for. The location right by the castle walls is amazing. Beds really comfertable. Warm and cosy. Loads of space. The basement games room brilliant.

“The holiday was wonderful and facilities and location fab!”

However cleaning was to a poor standard and the house needs A LOT of TLC and repairs. It is not really like the photos at all especially the garden even in winter conditions. My elderly grandfather also got a parking ticket for loading his car outside the day we left so be careful as yes it’s yellow lines but the car park is a long walk for someone age 73. I would stay again and even for longer but don’t expect wonders as it’s beautiful and well presented but dirty and fairly run down. However it’s prime location for pub, grub, dog walks and the castle.

“The house is generally unclean.”

There is grime and dust in all corners of the house. The kitchen does not have adequate cutelry and could do with a coffee machine. The 'games room' is a joke. The garden untidy. As a group we were all disappointed with the standard of the accommodation as we all hire weekend rentals regularly. This house needs to be either much cheaper to rent, or else cleaned up properly with new furnishings.

“The property was in an excellent location and was close to a number of lovely independent restaurants and bars.”

Paula arranged to call round to ensure we knew how to use the hot tub though also gave us lots of info about dog friendly places, where we could get great food for the children, events taking place over the weekend etc - super helpful, thanks Paula!

“The property met our expectations it was fabulously placed in Caernarfon and in quick easy reach of Snowdonia.”

Nine of us stayed at the property and there was plenty of room for us all.

“The cottage/town house was perfect for our girly get away, clean, comfortable, well equipped and the hot tub was lovely!”

Owner was so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend staying here x

“The house needs updating throughout.”

Whether having good finishes to homemade shelving. Skirting boards, bannisters, window sills and wood panneling need painting. The sofas were badly stained and unclean and the cellar/games room was damp with everything being broken in some way. The games console buttons didn’t work, the tv remote batteries had leaked, the table football nets were missing. I do need to say that Paula was lovely and made us feel welcome.

“Cottage was fabulous!”

There were 8 adults and 1 dog and the cottage was brilliant for us. Paula popped over on our arrival to show us got to operate the hot tub, and told us some events in Caernarfon that we might like to attend. The cottage is in a brilliant location, very clean and added bonus of a hot tub.

“Location was outstanding.”

We really enjoyed our stay there. The house suited out family needs. We would be happy to stay there again.

“The listing was a little misleading.”

There is no longer with full body massage available. Decorative minor damage - basically looking rather tired. Hot tub - only used for 4 days as the lady didn't come back to add water treatments midway through the week as promised. Games room - most items broken/unusable. The sofas where lacking comfort. The mattresses in the 2 main front rooms have seen better days. Waste water system in en-suite bathroom extremely noisy. We where all disappointed for the first time since using Sykes for our holidays in the last couple of years.

“Very nice place certainly located lots to do”

“Excellent, well worth choosing this holiday cottage.”

Set in the castle walls is this tardis like cottage, It looks tiny from the outside but is huge inside. A lounge with two 3/4 seater settees with a large TV and an open fire, a dining room that seats around 10. Plenty of bedrooms, a great sized kitchen, a basement which is ideal for younger guests and a rear yard which is very secure for simply letting the dog or children out to play. Plenty of outside seating and a hot tub which seats 7. There is one parking space right outside the cottage but free road side parking near the railway station if you're lucky.

“Well equipped but parking an issue”

We have just enjoyed a lovely family holiday spending a week at Castle Street Cottage. The cottage is clean and well equipped in a very good location; very easy to walk to the pubs and restaurants and very accessible for Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula. The hot tub was enjoyed by every one and we were blessed with brilliant weather. However, the parking was an issue. We were only permitted to park one car outside the house, as we were advised not to park outside the adjacent property which was up for sale. We were also advised that we might be ticketed by the traffic wardens but if we were the owner would appeal it, as she had an informal agreement for us to park outside the house. This did worry us a little. We only found one small free car park, by the marina, but finding a space there was difficult, as was finding a space on the nearby streets. The other car parks now charge so if you have more than one or two cars, be prepared.

“lovely time was had by all”

Just got back from this cottage and can say we had a great time. The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. There is a little welcome pack on arrival which was much appreciated. The hot tub, well what can I say, my husband was in there sometimes three times a day! The cottage is on the doorsteps of the castle, within the town walls. There are shops and bars all within minutes walk of the cottage. Great holiday, thank you.

“Perfect location”

I stayed here in September with a group of friends and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Its a great location on the doorstep of the Castle,also very convenient for visits to other popular tourist spots in North Wales. The property had everything we needed and a lovely lady caretaker (sorry cant remember her name)gave us useful information about the property, the area and where to eat. The Hot Tub was a great way to relax in the evenings with a glass of wine, stargazing after a day spent touring.The only thing that was not 100% was the basement games room that had a damp musty smell. That said the owners are aware of it and it might now be fixed. However it would in no way stop me visiting this cottage again. The photos do not do it justice it is much bigger than it looks in this photo and very tastefully decorated.

Excellent accomodation. Right next to the castle with easy access to shops, supermarkets and lots of places to eat. Plenty to do, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Hot Tub is an added bonus and lovely at night with the lights on.

About the location

CAERNARFON

Llanberis 8 miles; Bangor 9 miles.

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, the village of Beddgelert and onto Porthmadog. Fishing trips are available from the harbour and 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.
