Penrallt Fawr is a well-received cottage in North Wales, praised for its stunning location, cleanliness, and secure garden ideal for dogs.

Some minor issues were noted with comfort and maintenance, but overall, the property is highly recommended for its tranquillity and proximity to attractions.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically noting that everything was 'sparkling clean'. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness throughout.
The location is frequently highlighted as fantastic, with its proximity to Snowdonia, the coast, and other attractions. The views and the ability to walk straight from the property are particularly appreciated.
While many guests find the beds comfortable and the house cosy, there are comments about an uncomfortable sofa bed and a large bed. This indicates that while generally comfortable, there are areas that could be improved.
The cottage is well-equipped with amenities like a dishwasher and an oil range. However, some guests missed items such as a colander and bin bags, and there were comments about the TV service. Overall, facilities are good but with room for minor improvements.
While guests have mentioned facilities and amenities, there is no specific reference to gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to score this category.
About this property
Waunfawr 2.5 miles. Perched on the rural outskirts of Rhosgadfan near Waunfawr in Gwynedd, is this charming 18th century Welsh longhouse, Penrallt Fawr. All-ground-floor and sleeping up to six guests, Penrallt Fawr is a splendid pet-friendly dwelling, enjoying views out towards Caernarfon Castle and within close proximity to Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). Ample off-road parking awaits you at Penrallt Fawr, so why not take some time to enjoy the panoramic views, before stepping into the spacious kitchen/diner, with its original feature beams, where you will have all you need to create culinary delights for your guests to enjoy at the dining table. Be welcomed into the homely sitting room, where you can grab some popcorn and enjoy a family film night as the wood burning stove crackles nearby. As the evening grows darker, retire to one of three tastefully decorated bedrooms, a king-size, a 2' 6'' twin with zip/link which can be made up as a double on request, and a room with a single sofa bed (suitable for a child), ensuring flexible sleeping arrangements for all parties. Pour in the bubbles and enjoy a soothing bath after a long day of exploring, as your pyjamas warm on the heated towel rail. Prepare a picnic to enjoy on the large front lawn and watch the children play, as you eat surrounded by nature. Explore your local surroundings with your first stop being the quaint nearby village of Waunfawr, home to the Snowdonia Parc Campsite, where you can sample the local ales in the award-winning on site pub and microbrewery. For the thrill-seekers Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) is home to a wealth of activities guaranteed to get your heart racing, from a variety of hikes with incomparable views to the Zip World Fforest, where you can zoom through the woodlands on the alpine coaster or play around in the Tree Top Nets! There is also excellent walking and cycling straight onto the moorland from the gates of Penrallt Fawr. If you can tear yourself away, visit the well-known town of Caernarfon, famous for its Cadw Heritage Castle and impressive views overlooking the Menai Strait. Take a tour of the castle, which houses The Royal Welsh Fusiliers Museum and on-site exhibitions and take time to visit Segontium Roman Fort, play a few rounds of golf or enjoy a climb at the Beacon Climbing Centre. Visit Cae'r Gors in Rhosgadfan, the childhood home of Kate Roberts, the Queen of Welsh literature. Rhosgadfan and the surrounding quarries were also the location for the filming of Snowdonia 1890 aired on BBC Wales. Be sure to see the delightful village of Llanberis, where you can enjoy scenic rides on a steam train and soak up the glorious views of the Welsh countryside. Make Penrallt Fawr your family getaway to North Wales for a truly unforgettable trip with plenty to do for the whole family.

Good quality furniture and equipment. Beds were cosy and warm. The views of the coast and sunset were superb (seats and table outside very well placed). We are already planning our next trip.

Clean and well equipped, with the most spectacular views! Location was great for visiting Snowdonia, Llan Peninsula, Anglesey and Llandudno, and we would recommend visiting the Anglesey Arms on Caernarfonâs Harbour we made our âlocalâ. So rare to find a baby and dog friendly property that ticks all the boxes! We would certainly look to book again!

Got used to cooking on the range after a few days. My only quibble is the sofa bed, would have been better with a normal single bed as it was uncomfortable even for a child. All in all very happy
