The charming, peaceful community of Penygroes is just six miles from Caernarfon, a historic castle town, and it borders the Snowdonia National Park, where great treks and mountain vistas are easily accessible. The hamlet has a nice assortment of stores, cafes, and bars, and the surrounding area is full with restaurants and recreational opportunities like golfing, swimming, tennis, surfing, and horseback riding, to mention a few. The Gun Room restaurant is located at the nearby Plas Dinas Country House, which is also the site of some fascinating history. The beaches on Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula may be reached in about 30 minutes, while Dinas Dinlle's beach is only 10 minutes away by car. Caernarfon Castle, which is located nearby and is well worth a visit, offers additional shops and eateries in addition to steam train excursions. Another nearby location that was a setting for the television show "The Prisoner" is Portmeirion. The Welsh Heritage Center, which features a licenced cafe at Nant Nwrtheyrn with stunning sea views from its outdoor dining area, is only 8 miles distant. Beddgelert is a charming community with a wonderful arts and crafts store, a number of pubs, and is encircled by the stunning Snowdonia National Park. If you're in the region, it's well worth a trip.

Looks amazing from outside and inside has been decorated and furnished beautifully too. It has everything you would need and is very comfortable. If anything there is a lack of places to put your things in the bathroom and nowhere to sit in both bedrooms. It has an outside building with a washing machine and a summerhouse which we did not use. The location is fabulous and easy access to the main roads.

It was ideal for our family as there was a small baby who loved crawling everywhere and appreciated it all been on one level. Our stay was too short, and we didn't have time to sit and savour the peace and quiet of the delightful summer house and patio. Next time. I'm not impressed with Sykes cottages. The company is not good at responding. Despite offering a phone number, WhatsApp and SMS contact details ,and live chat, none of these options were available on Sunday. Thank goodness I was just trying to notify them and that there wasn't a serious problem.

Ideal for all the local attractions in the area. We booked this property as it had an EV charging point. This made our stay less stressful as charging points in North Wales are not always accessible and they are very expensive. We made good use of it. A washing machine was provided for use, but there was not means of drying the clothes. A tumble drier would be an additional facility that would be most welcome. If that is not possible, maybe a washing line. The heating was controlled remotely. Even though we were told we could adjust it-that was not possible. We were told to open doors if we were too hot. Such a waste of energy. Would recommend the property and hopefully be back in the future. We
