“We had a truly wonderful stay at Fron Goed.”

The cottage was immaculately clean and very comfortable. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The location was perfect for us as we were only a short drive away from many places we wanted to visit. We had a fantastic break away, it was just what we needed! Thank you!

“We really enjoyed our week's stay at Fron Goed.”

The cottage is quite spacious, comfortable, clean and with a very well equipped kitchen with everything that is needed for a self catering holiday. The owner, Colin is very friendly and kindly provided tea, coffee and milk. Fron Goed is in a lovely location surrounded by lovely gardens and scenery and a great base for exploring Snowdonia and the coast. We would totally recommend this cottage and hope to return again in the future!

“Just the week that my Father and I needed.”

My Mother passed away in February 2019. My Father and I have had a very stressful 7 months since then dealing with it. We booked a week in Fron Goed. The cost of the week is great value for money. Its a lovely cottage. We were greeted by the owner who was very welcoming. They live next door and are available if needed but they werent as everything was great. They even left us tea bags. Lovely and warm main room. I slept downstairs in the twin room and my father slept upstairs. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a base for exploring Snowdonia. One suggestion. Please get a bigger sign for outside the gate as we drove past it a few times during the week. :) Thank you again to the owners and will of course return if we are coming back to the Llanberis area.

Mrs Ball August 2019

“First time we've stayed in a holiday cottage so we're unsure on what to expect.”

On arrival we were met by Colin the owner, he was welcoming, telling us that if there was anything we need to give us a knock. There was free Wi-Fi, board games, reading material, information for things to do and places to eat, smoke parking for two cars. It felt like a real home from home.

Mr Ellis May 2019

“Excellent stay.”

Made very welcome by our hosts.Milk in the fridge and a hospitality tray ready. For us the situation was convenient for touring the area. However,we were off the road and therefore extremely quiet. We look forward to returning.

“Home from home”

From the start the owners make you feel welcome. The cottage is warm, cosy, well lit and easy to heat. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and it feels roomy. It's so peaceful we felt like 4 nights just weren't enough. Very handily placed to get to Llanberis, Caernarfon, Bangor and Anglesey. Some very good local pubs and very easy to park in Llanberis for Snowdon. definitely going back!

Mr Hector April 2019

“Very helpful hosts.”

Lovely comfortable property. Location was less rural than I'd realised as it was by a road - my fault completely. This meant it was easy to get around though. Really enjoyed our stay.

- Mr Hector, April 2019
Mr Hambling April 2019

“Excellent location very close to snowdon.”

Owners are lovely and very friendly. nice and quiet spot but handy for towns, car required.

“The accommodation is dark, lacking ventilation and both decoration, furniture and fittings are "tired".”

A refurbishment is urgently required.

Ms Jeffery September 2018

“Perfect holiday for us, even the weather was good!”

The cottage was exactly what we were expecting, had everything we needed and the owner was very welcoming? It was in a great spot for exploring the area. Would definitely return.

Mrs Rawson July 2017

“The only improvement I could suggest would be another stair rail to help those not so nimble access upstairs.”

Other than that the cottage was excellent. A bonus for us was the daily visit of the woodpeckers. All in all a great break.

“Lovely place to stay”

We loved staying in Fron Goed cottage, even tho it was set back off the road we found it easily, there was parking for both our cars, we took my elderly mother with us so having the downstairs bedroom was great for her and also the bathroom being downstairs! I would say you'd definitely need a car to stay because it's a little bit out but we found most places to visit were within a 15 minute drive, the owners were very friendly

“cosy cottage”

We loved this place. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by the owner and shown around. beautiful gardens to relax in and nice and cosy cottage, nice and clean also had everything you need. We had fresh milk left for us and there were laundry facilities that we could use. It was central to all the place's we wanted to visit in north wales.

“Warm and Cosey”

Despite the weather on our holiday being somewhat unpredictable and raining quite a lot, the moment we arrived at Fron Goed, we knew we had a warm, clean and comfortable place to stay. The owners of the cottage were extremely friendly and helpful and it was clear that they looked after the cottage. The only two issues we had, one of which probably would not have reveal itself had the weather not rained at all, were a leak in the conservatory at the front of the cottage and the smoothness of the stairs up to the second bedroom that were quite slippery if you were not barefoot or wearing shoes. Overall, we had an excellent stay in the cottage and send our thanks.

Mr Walmsley October 2014

“A lovely, cosy, clean & very well maintained cottage.”

In a very good touring location for North Wales. We thoroughly enjoyed our very comfortable stay at Fron Goed. Our hosts made us feel extremely welcome & were not at all intrusive although our cottage was next door to theirs. We'd highly (& will do) recommend their cottage to our family & friends.

- Mr Walmsley, October 2014

“A base to explore from”

Fron Goed was all I hoped it would be. It was beautifully presented, clean and comfortable, and completely catered for all our holiday needs. As a centre, it proved to be very good, with easy access to Anglesey, the west coast, and the mountains. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a base in the countryside.

Mr Murphy June 2014

“A superb little cottage attached to the owners home.”

There are wonderful gardens with a small wood which my 2 year old loved running about. A great central location with Llandudno, Conwy, Canaerfon and Llanberis all within a 20 mile radius. Warm welcome from owners received and everything you needed was available.

- Mr Murphy, June 2014
Miss Dumville April 2014

“Everything was lovely; the cottage was really clean and well maintained.”

The owners were very friendly and helpful and the milk tea and coffee was a lovely surprise. Its location was really handy for Llanberis and exploring the surrounding area. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to everyone.

“Very, very, very clean!”

Really nice little touches. Very friendly too.

- Mr Foster, September 2013
Mrs Blackmore September 2013

“The property was lovely.”

It is ideal if you want to do some climbing or walking, as everything you need is on the door step. Snowdon is about a five minutes drive to the train which takes you up to the top if you do not fancy the walk, and Llanberis is lovely. The owners are nearby if you need any help, but they leave you in peace and quite. I would have know problems in recommending this property to my friends.

- Mrs Blackmore, September 2013
Mr Parker July 2013

“The cottage is wonderfully furnished, a true home from home experience.”

The location of the cottage is perfect for hill walking, and LLanberis Village is just 5 minutes away by car and the views from Snowdon are amazing. The cottage is situated in a perfect location for exploring the wonderful coastline of North Wales.

“Cosy base, perfect for exploring the area.”

Fron Goed is a lovely cosy cottage, very well presented and in beautiful gardens. We were meet by the owners who were very welcoming . It is perfectly located for exploring the area, we visited castles and beaches, country parks and towns. We also spent time in the garden and the cottage, Caernarfon is only 20 minutes drive where there are supermarkets and places to eat out, you do need a car though, you can't really walk anywhere. We found the cottage a great size for us and our 1 year old as she could safely play in the main living area although the open staircase could be an issue for some. The cottage is on a main road and although set back there is no gate so you do have to be careful when outside with young children. We had a brilliant holiday and would definately go back.

“The property has a beautiful and very private garden.”

It has good access to main road and is in a great location for seeing North Wales. The owners were very nice and welcoming. There is a great activity centre 10 minutes away in Llanberis. I really enjoyed kayaking with my family - well worth a try! Will definitely go back to Fron Goed, it was so clean and homely.

“Lovely cottage in nice countryside”

Beautiful comfortable cottage with a lovely garden. In the house and conservatory it was quiet and peaceful,however although the cottage is set back from the road it is a very busy a road and it was too noisy to sit in the garden. Otherwise a lovely location. Everything we needed and more were in the house and the family who own it were very friendly and accomodating.

Mr Truman July 2011

“Fron Goed is conveniently placed for exploring Snowdonia and North West Wales.”

It is welcoming and comfortable, and the owners did everything possible to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. Although Fron Goed is situated just off a road, traffic noise was not a problem. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a cottage in a peaceful location but within easy reach of the area's many attractions.

- Mr Truman, July 2011

About the location

DEINIOLEN

Llanberis 4 miles; Caernarfon 8 miles; Bangor 8 miles.

The village of Deiniolen, housing a village pub and shop, is 4 miles north of Llanberis, on the border of the Snowdonia National Park, making it an ideal base to explore the National Park. The Llanberis Railway runs nearby along the banks of Lake Padarn, whilst the ruins of Dolbadarn Castle are 2 miles away, or visit Ceunant Mawr, a cascading waterfall just outside Llanberis. Local walks lead to the Marchlyn Mawr Reservoir on the northern slopes of Elidir Fawr. Llanberis is 4 miles away and is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. In fact, Llanberis is something of a “mecca” for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Each year, major racing events attract thousands to the area: The fast Snowdon Race to the summit, held in July every year and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26 mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. Within Llanberis itself there are excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. On the coast is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd.
