“Fabulous cottage, perfectly placed to reach a huge range of activities.”

The cottage was lovely, with a beautiful garden. A welcome pack and milk in the fridge welcomed us to the cottage, this was a lovely touch. We had a really great time and hope to come back soon!

“So relaxing.”

I loved my stay at your cottage and it does you proud Anne. You have looked after it very well and do your best to maintain it to a high level. I liked the fact there was 2 bathrooms 1 with a bath and 1 with a shower and I really loved the quality shower you have. The cottage is in a perfect location and almost in middle between Criccieth and Porthmadog. The garden is stunning but the midges were a nuisance. If Id known I would have got some of the Avon cream that repels. The bedrooms [beds] were very comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay.

“Lovely, relaxing stay”

Stayed here with our mums and our dog for a week. Fantastic base, easy to travel about and see the coast and mountains. Well equipped, very comfortable bungalow, it was lovely to light the fire at night. Nicely laid out design and ideal for the less mobile - walk in shower, no steps and even floors. Bought some bird seed and it was delightful to see the many birds darting around feeding - 2 cheeky robins joined in the fun. Would love to return soon. Thank you.

“This is an extremely comfortable cottage, all on the ground floor.”

Also a great location being near the main road to either Cricieth and Porthmadog, yet very quiet. The garden is quiet charming, a real oldie worldie cottage garden, very dog friendly. Both my husband and I have just spent a week there, we totally relaxed, slept so well, enjoyed reading books, with dog friendly beaches nearby. A very good, well earned break. Totally recommend, already booked a week next year. PS. We recommend The Australia, in the High Street Porthmadog, best beer and food, good value. Can’t wait to go back.

“The bungalow is so well equipped - everything you could need is provided even down to a garlic press.”

Suited us all - lovely to have 2 bathrooms and the layout was well thought out - ideal for our older mum and mother in law. Comfortable seating - nice to have the 2 tables to sit at in the evening to play cards and games. Despite the mixed weather we were warm - heating good and the fire was a welcome touch in the evenings. Well placed for easy access to Criccieth and the surrounding area. Look forward to returning soon.

“Ann was fantastic.”

.. it was very cold over my stay and she continued to check on me to make sure i had enough wood and that the heat was warm enough. This cottage was perfect for seeing the area... very quiet and yet so accessible via bus. I will definitely be returning!

A great relaxing holiday.

“Just wonderful.”

Twll y Cae is a real delight, a quirky cottage with an interesting history and a delightful garden. The cottage is the best equipped we have ever stayed in, with lots of thoughtful touches from Ann the lovely owner. The beds and settees are all very comfortable and inviting, and the unusual kitchen layout is very sociable and works well. (There is even a Rangemaster cooker for those who are inclined to cook on their holiday.) We all enjoyed sitting in the lush garden which the dogs loved. My only criticism of the cottage is that time moved too quickly and we had to leave well before we wanted to! Wholeheartedly recommended. We are definitely joining the long list of previous visitors who want to live here.

“First Class..”

My partner and I and our two dogs have stayed in this cottage twice. We've just booked for a third time in March 2016. It has to be the most convenient Cottage that we've ever rented. To be honest it's the sort of place we'd buy.It's got a decent appointed kitchen and utility room with the sort of kit we've got at home,Comfortable Beds, two bathrooms with a decent sized shower cubicle to accommodate 6 foot plus, Broadband Wifi. Gas Central Heating providing a warm ambient temperature that negates the use of the wood burner !. Food shopping is very close at Porthmadog. If you visit in September there is a bonus of free Blackberries growing in the lane too.!!. Walks from the house are several. You could walk up the main road towards Criccieth where you find a pay as catch trout fishery and Cafe. Turn left from the cottage up the lane through a couple of gates , go underneath the pylon and you come to the Caernarfon Road. Suitable for good sturdy shoes !!. Locate the Village telephone Kiosk and post box, about 50 metres to the right across the road is a tarmac footpath that leads about 1 mile to a disused church. In the 12 th Century the Church was on an island surrounded by the sea only reached at low tide by a causeway. Totally love the area and the cottage and cannot wait to return.

“I wish this was my home!”

The cottage is ideally situated for the local towns of Porthmadog and Criccieth and if you take a dog, you can just walk out of the door up the lane into the beautiful Welsh fresh air for your morning walkies. My mother and I stayed for a week and we had a double bedroom and bathroom each. Beds are comfortable with lovely cosy fluffy duvets. The kitchen diner is very well equipped and spotlessly clean with everything you would need including a dishwasher and microwave. The lounge is spacious and cosy with a log fire if the evenings get chilly. One of the strongest features of the cottage is the garden. We went in April and could sit out early evening but I would think mid Summer it would be gorgeous to have supper and a chilled glass out there. All in all it was one of the best holiday cottages I've stayed in and I would definitely go back.

The property

This delightful detached cottage is located down a quiet lane, just off the main street in Pentrefelin, close to Criccieth and Porthmadog in North Wales.

This beautiful cottage in Pentrefelin was once home to the renowned poet R S Thomas, a friend of Clough William Ellis, the architect of Portmeirion, who it is thought may have helped design the garden at Twll y Cae.

Set all on the ground floor, this cottage near Criccieth has plenty of space, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen/dining room and a spacious sitting room with an open fire, a wonderful spot to retire to on chilly winter evenings.

There is a lovely cottage garden at this North Wales holiday home.

Laid out on a variety of levels and in a number of distinct styles, you can easily get lost just by following the path that winds around the cottage.

A patio at one side is a lovely spot for a cooling evening drink, whilst mature planting obscures quiet little spots where you can hide away with a cup of tea and a good book.

Pentrefelin (Welsh for mill village) is situated midway between the harbour town of Porthmadog and the pretty seaside town of Criccieth.

Spend a day discovering the 13th century castle at Criccieth before taking afternoon tea at one of the many cafes in the town.

Porthmadog has an impressive marina and is the terminus for the steam trains stopping at the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways.

The Italianate village of Portmeirion is well worth a visit, plus there are a number of stunning Blue Flag beaches close by.

Whatever you choose to do on your North Wales holiday, this charming Pentrefelin cottage is the perfect base for discovering this fabulous region.

Criccieth 2 miles; Porthmadog 2.5 miles.

Pentrefelin is a small village situated between Criccieth and Porthmadog on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. The village is spread along the A497 offering excellent transport links to the Llyn Peninsula, the Welsh coast and the mountains of Snowdonia. The historic town of Criccieth is just two miles away and is often described as the ‘Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia’. The town’s 13th century castle perches majestically on a rocky outcrop, dominating the skyline and offering superb views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. Watersports enthusiasts will be delighted by the two beaches, whilst walkers and bikers are spoilt for choice by the proximity of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Further afield, attractions such as Portmeirion’s wonderful Italianate gardens, the steam trains of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle and the beautiful beaches and renowned golf courses of the Llyn Peninsula are all within an easy drive.
