It is only three miles from the centre of the famous town of Llanberis to this small village in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountains. One of the busiest mountain resort towns in Snowdonia National Park, Llanberis is framed by the twin lakes of Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris and is dominated by the towering Snowdon Massif. Being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, Llanberis is something of a "mecca" for walkers and climbers. You can take the Snowdonia Mountain Railway to the top, or you can hike up one of the many trails. Llanberis is home to a wide variety of high-quality dining and drinking establishments as well as numerous retail options. Caernarfon, with its magnificent castle and town walls dating back to the 13th century, is only four miles from Llanrug on the coast. Also nearby are the National Trust properties of Penrhyn and Plas Newydd, as well as many beautiful beaches.

The caretaker was always on hand and responsive. The facilities meant we could have a good number of quiet days at home (even with a troupe of teens and kids!) but there was also plenty of places nearby for trips out. We are definitely planning to come back. Thanks for everything!

!! What a beautiful property - from the building its self to the interior design it showed care and thought. We were a family of 3 generations, semi wheelchair user and 2 dogs !!! The space and facilities were amazing. Your caretaker Gareth was great with places to go and general knowledge of the area and how things worked within the home. We had a fantastic week (weather this week helped but if it had rained and we had stayed in we would never get bored with the basement !!!) We are trade people - double glazing, property developers and ground working people so we found the book on the property very exciting to look at and could appreciate the workman ship you put in to building the property. When I was looking for a property to take the wheelchair yours fitted every thing (if I could just add the maybe a walk in shower with fold away chair on the wall may be an idea) But we were able to wheel dad round the whole house and out side with no problem - even up to the outdoor BBQ - fantastic We will be back to explore more of Wales and hope to stay at the luxurious home Rynys Thank you Laura Paul and the Gang

So well considered. Everything you could possibly need. Beautifully maintained. Gareth the caretaker was so helpful. The service from Sykes was woeful though. Impossible to contact and really tricky to book through.
