"This sanctuary from a busy life was far better than my family and I ever expected."
A lovely large home, the shower was a delight, the animals (woodpecker, bat, other birds) and wild fruit (blackberries, plums, pears) were an unexpected pleasure. The fact that the home not only included a dishwasher, but a washing machine, and pegs to put the laundry out to dry as well. A welcome pack of goodies such as cookies and wine was a truly caring touch. All in all a really wonderful and relaxing pleasure.
This was our first time at Caer Moel, but it won't be our last.

"We had a lovely week at Caer Moel - a very clean, comfortable and well equipped property, giving no cause to contact the friendly, welcoming nearby owners again, beyond their initial greet upon arrival."
In the current COVID climate we appreciate that holidays at home are very much in demand, and can thoroughly recommend Caer Moel as an ideal location from which to explore this beautiful part of Wales. Our only slight criticism is that for the money paid (and bearing in mind this was a summer holiday), it would have been quite nice to have had a BBQ facility available. That said, the owners kindly raised no objection to our use of disposable BBQs. We were there to celebrate our ruby wedding with our family, and can confirm that Caer Moel played an important part in ensuring we had a happy and memorable experience.

Lots of space, lovely big kitchen and dining room, spacious bedrooms, very clean. Away from any crowds (Covid friendly), but easy to get to Caenarvon, local beaches, supermarkets, etc. Hosts very friendly, nice welcome pack of wine and biscuits. Thanks for a lovely holiday, would definitely return to Caer Moel.

"We had a fantastic week away!"
There were 7 of us ranging in ages from 4 to 74 and we all had a great time.
The property was brilliant, furnished nicely and was really clean. It had everything we needed to cook each night and also to entertain us all. The surrounding fields are beautiful... you could be miles from anywhere. We enjoyed sitting in the garden on an evening enjoying the location.
There are plenty of things to do and see locally or within half an hours drive you can be in a beach in Anglesey, up to Conwy or down to Porthmadog.
Rhian and Wynn went out of their way to make us feel welcomed; there was wine chocolates, milk tea and coffee waiting for us and Rhian checked on with us on our first night.
We would highly recommend this property and location.

The house was amazing - really lovely and extremely well resourced. Mrs Williams the owner was very helpful, kind and welcoming. The steam rain passed by close to the house and an excellent view of it on the track was available via the nearby bridge 100 metres from the house. The beaches at Criccieth and Llanbedrog were fabulous. The area provided many walking opportunities: Beddgelert was particularly superb. We strongly recommend Caer Moel to families with or without children

Rhian Williams was brilliant and was available on the phone to help with a query we had about a local attraction and we arrived to a very kind gift package: milk in fridge, welsh cakes, wine and chocolates which started our holiday off perfectly.
Plenty of room for our two families to hang out independently as well as together and the rooms were comfortable and well furnished. Wifi a bit intermittent (couldn't get it upstairs) but that just meant the teens hung out with us more :-)

"No everything was just as described and the owner was very acommodating."
The house was very comfortable in everyway. This was one of the nicest houses we have stayed in and we rent a holiday home in Wales 3 to 4 times a year. It was especially good for our elderly parents with a well appointed ground floor bedroom and facilities. It was also nice and warm and the drive up to the house gave a good impression. Maybe a little bit of info on where we could do our own recycling locally would assist as the collections are not very frequent and this may assist the owner. We would definitely recommend and hope to re book.

A great location for exploring the mountains, Anglesey, or down the Llyn peninsula. The farmhouse itself was so warm and cosy, what with the underfloor heating and all. Very spacious bedrooms and really well decorated throughout, dining area a lovely place to sit down together. Can't recommend enough.

"Caer Moel is a lovely place for a holiday."
The cottage is ideally situated in beautiful countryside yet within a few miles of Caernarfon with its restaurants, pubs, shops, boat trips and, of course, the magnificent castle. The cottage is quiet and peaceful, the only noise coming from the infrequent steam trains (the wonderful Welsh Highland Line) passing the end of the garden. The cottage is, in effect, a completely detached building with a large garden, patio and scenic views over the distant hills towards Snowdonia. There’s plenty of space around the cottage too – the immediate surroundings are mainly fields and woods. The very large kitchen and dining room, and bathrooms are modern with all of the facilities you would expect in a brand-new building. The living room and bedrooms are furnished in an older, more comfortable style and are very cosy. The rooms are big, with plenty of space for a large group. And, of course, the bottles of wine and welsh cakes were very much appreciated.

Light, airy and spacious with everything you could need for your stay.
