  • "We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at this cottage from start to finish."

    A very clean and comfortable property.The area it is in is lovely and convenient for visiting lots of places nearby.I would have no problem recommending you stay at this property.It is so well equipped.

  • "We had a wonderful time at the cottage, it was very clean and well equipped with everything we required."

    The location was perfect as it was very central to places we were visiting - Zip World, Portmeirion, Caernarfon - and having use of the EV charger was a huge bonus for us. It's rural and peaceful and close enough to the supermarkets to make it an ideal base for exploration around North Wales

  • "Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage, spotlessly clean and in a very peaceful location - good for exploring the wonderful North Wales and Snowdonia and coastal areas."

    Beds were extremely comfortable and it was a very relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed the welcome pack. We would definitely recommend this holiday cottage.

  • "No complaints about this accommodation."

    Nice welcome pack and fresh flowers to greet us when we arrived. Heating, hot water, shower, toilet and appliances all working fine. Beds were very comfortable. We also chose this one because it was central to the places we wanted to visit (Snowdon, Harlech etc) and even though it wasn't too far from the main road, the scenery and surroundings were beautiful and peaceful - even enjoyed the cow chorus in the morning!! It felt like a home away from home and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would recommend it.

    It was very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked for equipment. The beds were nice and comfortable, and so were the lounge chairs.

    Only thing I would mention was the pictures of the garden are deceiving as you don't have as much garden as photos suggest. The property is much closer to surrounding buildings.

    It had everything we needed and was very well equipped. The location is beautiful, on the edge of a working farm but it was very quiet and having fields of sheep surrounding the house was wonderful for the children. Would highly recommend this for families and would definitely return.

    It was very clean and had everything we needed. The welcome tray was a lovely touch and we enjoyed the stunning views. It was very peaceful. Highly recommend the cottage and also The Goat Inn pub which is a few minutes drive away or around a half hour walk. A short drive to Criccieth beach which is beautiful. A great location to enjoy the peace and view of the countryside and not too far from the beaches.

    Home away from home and very cosy. The location of the cottage is in a great location to explore North Wales and Snowdonia National Park, the Llin peninsula and Anglesea. We would have no hesitation to tell friends and family to stay here. We had an amazing holiday here and a big Thank You to the owners and Sykes for sorting this cottage and holiday for us on such short notice. Just perfect

  • "A beautifully maintained, clean and well equipped cottage."

    The flowers and gifts on arrival were beautiful and the flowers just added to the home from home feel of the place. The bed was really comfortable and made to hotel standard with a good supply of fresh towels. Their kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was clear how much thought had gone in to it. The EV charger was a real added bonus for us. The charge for use was very reasonable. For a working farm it is exceptionally clean and tidy. I would thoroughly recommend this place for families and couples alike. A beautiful cottage in a fabulous location for exploring all that North Wales has to offer.

  • "Our only regret with this property was that unfortunately we were compelled to have a short break when a full week would have been preferred."

    The property is an absolute gem and from first walking through the door we felt after half an hour that we had been there all day. It is well maintained, comfortable and despite the poor weather we experienced, resulting in returning back to it earlier than usual, the ambience of the place made it a pleasure. All facilities are present. The added use of an EV charger (payable to the owner but very reasonable) was ideal for us. We will definitely be returning.

Tucked away in the quaint village of Garndolbenmaen near Penygroes, Gwynedd is this characterful, two-bedroom holiday home, Bwthyn Derwin Fawr.

Featuring an enclosed garden, off-road parking and close proximity to the Eryri National Park, Bwthyn Derwin Fawr welcomes five guests, perfect for a family or group of friends seeking a memorable getaway in North Wales.

Enter your new home-from-home, ready to kick back and relax in the homely sitting room, fire up the log burner and Smart TV to truly make yourself feel at home as your other half gets to grips with a superb range of appliances in the kitchen/diner.

If you prefer to dine alfresco, take advantage of the enclosed garden to pop corks until sundown and truly soaking up the countryside air.

Retire from the day as you surrender to a long soak or revitalising shower in the sleek bathroom, prior to hunkering down in either a double or triple bedroom, each well-adorned with plenty of storage for all your belongings.

In the morning, begin your adventures with a hike along the Rhyd Ddu Path, admiring stunning views over the Eryri Nationa Park and the famous Yr Wyddfa.

This really is a superb spot for exploring this amazing part of north Wales, the popular Lon Eifion Walking & Cycle Route (National Cycle Network) is on your doorstep, which starts from the village of Bryncir and ends up at the historic town of Caernarfon.

The traffic-free scenic route runs alongside the Welsh Highland Railway and offers wonderful views of Caernarfon Bay and Snowdonia.

Further afield, explore the historic Castell Caernarfon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or head to the seaside town of Porthmadog, where you can take a walk along the harbour, visit unique shops or hop on a narrow-gauge steam train on the Ffestiniog Railway.
