The property

Penygroes 2.9 miles.

Y Garreg Fawr is a delightful stone cottage, located in the charming rural village of Y Fron.

Close to the foothills of Snowdonia, this attractive abode makes a wonderful romantic retreat for one or two couples who seek an escape to the beautiful Welsh countryside.

Step inside the well-appointed open-plan living space, beautifully decorated with a striking blue kitchen boasting traditional oak worktops and a Belfast sink as well as a lovely dining space for two where you can indulge in a romantic dinner.

Retiring to the stylish grey corner couch to map out activities for the duration of your stay or indulge in a movie from the hidden projector and turn the living area into a home cinema, in the snug you can turn on the flat-screen TV and settle down with a movie on the sofa, doubling up as a bed for an additional two guests.

While away the hour with a relaxing soak in the luxurious roll top bath sitting peacefully within the chic monochrome bathroom, before grabbing your towel and climbing the steep staircase up to the Mezzanine bedroom styled with pretty grey hues, to pick out an outfit from the chest of draws and take your time to get ready for the day ahead.

Make the most of the spacious garden by indulging in breakfast alfresco on a warm summer's day.

Grab your bikes from the shed and enjoy a scenic morning cycle through the countryside, before heading into Caernarfon to explore the striking 13th century castle and ruins of the Segontium Roman Fort.

Be sure to stop by Snowdonia National Park to see unrivalled landscapes whether it be on a hike up the mountains or as you fly through the skies on a Zip World adventure.

Spend precious time with your significant other at Y Garreg Fawr.

“We were absolutely charmed by this quirky and stylish cottage, renovated sympathetically and with a contemporary colour palette - everything that you could need is provided from big, soft towels to enough kitchen implements to cook a roast dinner if you wanted to!”

We loved the snug in the evenings. WiFi genuinely very good and reliable. The location is great with walks from the doorstep or mountains, seaside, coastal paths, lakes, pretty little towns, industrial heritage sites and lush valleys all in easy striking distance. Our top recommendations would be the costal path loop from Cemaes Bay in Anglesey and to visit the beaches at Trefor & Porthdillaen - no regrets at all regarding choosing this area and this cottage in particular. Really happy and it ...

Really happy and it was a wrench to leave this little hideaway.

“We absolutely loved our stay here, the cottage is very cute and the location is just amazing, 10 minutes walk to the most amazing sunset view I’ve ever seen.”

Beautiful beach near by too and scenery just amazing. My only one slightly negative is that the mattress on the bed is very hard so if you don’t enjoy a firm mattress you may not sleep very well

“The cottage was perfect, I couldn't imagine it being any better the projector was a particularly great addition!”

Thank you very much I'm sure we'll be back

“A really cosy cottage, we enjoyed it so much, despite the poor weather.”

The central heating was really good, even when it was 5 degrees outside - we had to turn it off at one point!!! The garden was completely fenced / walled in - our dog Charlie was really safe & happy there. No hesitation in recommending - we look forward to returning>>

“Perfect little hub for our weekend away to climb Snowdon.”

It was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There were games left in the house for us to enjoy in the evening whilst sitting by the fire. The owners were very pleasant and helpful - we would definitely stay again!

“It was such a beautiful cottage and wonderful surroundings in Y Fron.”

The only point I’d make was the sofa in the small room for watching tv could do with a extra long cushion back so you can sit comfortably upright as there is no support here for sitting. However the other sofa is much better for sitting in front of the fire. The manual the owners left was great and it was great to have a dishwasher. It was good of the owners to leave some starter logs. The seating outside in two areas was perfect to enjoy the sun. We made friends with the Shetland ponies next door. It was a magical holiday, and we will definitely be back to do more walks in the Y Fron area, thank you.

“Lovely stay.”

Cottage was modern but still had original feel and features. Stayed during a storm and was nice and cosy with log burner and windows/doors very air tight. Owner let us know about a road closure when travelling there which was helpful. Great place to stay if you want to relax.

“A charming cottage up high in Snowdonia.”

Everything you need supplied by great guests. Highly recommended.

Mr Godderidge August 2020

“Beautiful little cottage in a lovely setting.”

Owners ensured was clean and tidy with little touches such as tea bags and milk. Also a handy cleaning pack with washing up liquid, tea towels etc. Stairs where incredibly steep if you struggle with Mobility be careful and the shower is for those under 5 foot but was at the same time hilarious, Would highly recommend this cottage for your trip will definitely look to stay again. Can’t recommend highly enough!! Thank you to the owner loved it!!

“We think the online description was over romanticised .”

The photos on line gave the impression of open views.The cottage was a good way off the beaten track and was not easily found,especially given there was a road closure that nullified your directions,admittedly not your fault but anyone without a sat nav would have been in trouble at this point.I think the fact that the stairs are not just steep but half step should also be mentioned,as visits to the bathroom in the night are an adventure to say the least.The cottage was spotlessly clean and could not be faulted in that respect but I do feel that the description and website presentation were not representative of the actual property and having been there I feel somehow it just was not what we had expected it to be and I think it was overpriced.

- Mr Hardman, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We have up-dated the description of the staircase to ensure future guests are not surprised. Sykes owner relations
