  • "A small kitchen knife is needed."

    There is a washer but nowhere to dry anything. A clothes line or clothes airer is required. There is not a hoover we always like to hoover before we leave or as and when due to dogs and sand. Apart from that the accommodation was great and the view spectacular.

  • "Fabulous views, but I’m afraid that is the only good thing about this property."

    Very dated inside, curtains flimsy and hanging off the rails! Small bedroom dismal, no bedside lamp, no shade on the ceiling light, no bedside sockets. One wardrobe between 3 bedrooms. We left the property after 2 nights when we had booked for 4 nights as we didn’t feel comfortable in the house! Desperately in need of updating to encompass the wonderful views the property benefits from.

  • "This house is in a stunning location, with incredible views from every room."

    The accommodation itself is fairly basic and in need of an update, and only has very limited cooking equipment. The description says it has a bunk room, which we assumed meant 2 bunk beds, but it is only a single bed. And don’t even think about trying to park more than one car on the driveway!!

    Hi Jo, Thank you for your review. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the location and the views from the house, they are something rather special! We really appreciate your constructive feedback on the decor and the cooking equipment; we will definitely be taking this on board and reviewing our kitchen supplies. Perhaps you could let us know by email what areas in particular you found the equipment lacking? We are also sorry for any confusion regarding the bed setup. We recently updated our listing description to make sure the single bed configuration is perfectly clear, so no future guests make the same assumption presumably this took place after you had made your booking. Finally, thank you for reiterating the parking situation—as you noted, our driveway is definitely a one-car space only! Thanks again for staying with us. Best wishes, Alan @ Bryn-y-Felin Property Owner

  • "We had a great time at Bryn Y Felin and would definitely return."

    The house was very roomy and light - plenty of space for a family of four. The views from each room and the balcony were wonderful. We enjoyed playing the board games that were supplied, and everything was spotless. The shower was good, and so was wifi. The village is really lovely - we had breakfast at Swellies and Llofft and a takeaway from the chip shop/Chinese. It was a perfect base to explore the area and Anglesey. The only thing I'd say is that the curtains in the main bedroom were very thin, so eye masks are useful. There was a warning about some cars with low clearance on the drive, and we did indeed encounter this on the way in (not the way out), as our car is low and long, but there were a couple of small flagstones we used to raise the car up a little as we went over the hump. Most cars would be absolutely fine. Thanks for a great stay and we hope to come again!

    Dear Johanna, Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We are delighted that you and your family had such a great time at Bryn Y Felin and that you found it to be a good all round base for your stay. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the views from the balcony and made good use of the board games! Thank you as well for shouting out some of our great local spots like The Swellies, Llofft, and Chan's—future guests will definitely find those recommendations helpful. We really appreciate your constructive note about the curtains in the main bedroom; we will certainly look into adding thicker linings or blackout blinds. In the meantime, your tip about bringing an eye mask is great advice. We also want to thank you for being so understanding and resourceful regarding the hump in the driveway! We're glad the flagstones helped your car over it safely, and we appreciate you highlighting the warning for future guests. Sadly the drive was constructed to a very tight Council Specification so there is not much we can do about it beyond warning people. It was a pleasure having you, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back for another stay in the future! Kind Regards, Alan @ Bryn-y-Felin Property Owner

  • "The property is on a very steep hill so could be hard for people with mobility issues."

    Also the property was a bit dated and could do with a bot of a face lidt and the garden. Other than that the views were amazing of the river and harbour and the local pubs were good and friendly even for dogs.

    Hi Stephen, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed our amazing views! It’s also great to hear that you and your dog had such a wonderful time visiting the local pubs. You make a very fair point about the steep hill. While it is exactly what gives the property those spectacular elevated views, we completely agree that it’s helpful for future guests with mobility concerns to be aware of the climb before they book. We also really appreciate your honest feedback regarding the decor and the garden. We are always looking for ways to improve our guests' experience, and we will certainly take your comments on board as we plan future updates and maintenance for the property. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we would love to welcome your family, both 2 and 4 legged, back anytime! Warm regards, Alan @ Bryn-y-Felin Property Owner

The property

Bryn Y Felin is a delightful, detached house perched above Y Felinheli, Gwynedd, with private driveway parking for one car and spectacular coastal views that frame the setting.

The layout suits shared holidays well, with three ground-floor bedrooms including two King Size doubles and a single room, alongside a ground-floor bathroom offering a bath with shower over.

A lower-ground-floor cloakroom adds extra convenience, while the reverse-level arrangement naturally draws everyone together later in the day.

Downstairs, the kitchen is arranged for relaxed self-catering, anchored by a range cooker and supported by thoughtful appliances for easy meals.

The kitchen/diner provides a sociable space for gathering around the table before stepping out onto the balcony, where open views stretch across the Menai Strait and surrounding landscape.

As evening sets in, the sitting room becomes the heart of the home, with a Smart TV and a selection of Board Games creating a welcoming setting for unwinding after a day out.

Outside, a small wildlife garden offers a simple spot to enjoy fresh air, and one well-behaved pet is welcome to join the stay.

This may look untidy to the uninitiated, but we resist cutting the grass to provide food for local bees and to protect the Slow Worms and lizards which are in residence and you may spot if you are lucky.

Y Felinheli itself is ideally placed for exploring Snowdonia and the North Wales Coast, with the Menai Strait close by and the village marina offering waterside walks and places to pause and watch boats sail past.

Nearby Caernarfon is rich in history, with its landmark castle, harbour frontage, and independent shops forming an easy day out.

Bangor adds a coastal feel with its long pier, cathedral, and selection of cafés, while Llanberis sits at the foot of Eryri, known for lakeside paths and well-established heritage attractions.

Each day brings something different, before returning to Bryn Y Felin.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
