Inside, you will find a wonderful, open-plan living space, home to a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and an inviting sitting area, which serves as a great spot to gather with your loved ones to enjoy a hearty home-cooked meal or a movie night whilst snuggled up on the sofa.

If you can tear yourself from your tranquil new dwelling, take a stroll with a home-made picnic in-hand to the nearby waters of the Afon Seiont, which is just a stone’s throw from your new home. Further on, take a walk into the town of Caernarfon, which offers a wide selection of independent shops and eateries, as well as an abundance of historical wonders; it’s well-worth a trip simply to uncover its castle and lively atmosphere. Slightly further afield, head towards Menai Bridge before you arrive at Anglesey; the idyllic isle well-renowned for its superb beaches and array of ancient sites, providing an enchanting day out for all ages and tastes, with its own sea zoo, seemingly-endless coastal path walks, and even cruises to the magnificent Puffin Island, guaranteed to be a wondrous day out for all. In reach of the luscious landscapes of the neighbouring Eryri National Park, and towns of Llandudno and Porthmadog, Samphire is a superb chalet, perfect for your next family break to Wales.
Caernarfon (county town of Gwynedd) has much historic and cultural importance in North Wales. It is a popular tourist spot with its impressive 13th Century castle, well preserved town walls and delightful water front. During the season there are guided tours of the castle and special events including historic pageants. There is also a station for the Welsh Highland Railway, which passes through dramatic scenery, the village of Beddgelert and onto Porthmadog. Fishing trips are available from the harbour and another attraction within walking distance of the town centre is Segontium, a Roman fort and museum, housing many important finds. Caernarfon offers a wide selection of shops and places to eat and is close to the lovely beaches of the Isle of Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula as well as the mountains and rivers of Snowdonia, including the renowned mountaineering town of Llanberis at the foot of Mount Snowdon.

The property was very clean when we arrived and there was tea, coffee and biscuits left for our arrival, also milk in the fridge which we really appreciated (just a heads-up that our daughter has coeliac disease so couldn't have the biscuits so it may be worth questioning allergies in advance) The property was perfect for what we wanted and we would definitely stay here again. Many thanks

Weather was a bit rubbish- this made the decking very slippy when wet, there was a "fishy" smell from the middle bedroom, i think previous guests may of had an 'accident' and it had leaked through to the under storage, fortunatly one of our guests was unable to come so we didnt need to use that bed. Listing states 2 TVs, however only 1 there and signal was quite poor on live TV so unable to watch. 'Heated pool' on sight is heated by the sun- so when its overcast the pool os freezing (but thats site facillities not owners). Didnt complain during our stay as we where out most day it was more inconvenient than anything, the decking does need a clean/paint as its very worn/dated.
