Wenallt

About this property

Penygroes 3.4 miles. Overlooking the stunning landscape of Nantlle lake and nestled very close to the Snowdon, is Wenallt, a traditional quarrymans cottage. Resting within Snowdonia National Park, enveloped by rural walking trails, this mountain retreat benefits from an open fire, an enclosed rear garden, and flexible sleeping arrangements, the property welcomes six guests, ideal for a family getaway. Park up on the roadside before entering the inviting living/dining room, complete with Chesterfield leather seating, a Smart TV including Sky TV, a grand six-seater table, and an open fire, offering the perfect place to unwind. Head into the compact kitchen, where you can watch over the lake and the mountains whilst doing the washing up, before venturing outdoors to the external utility, found beyond the private courtyard, set up for alfresco dining. As the sun sets, climb the stairs to the double and twin bedrooms, or head further to the second floor to enjoy stunning views across the surrounding countryside, by resting your head in the double bedroom. The entire property is serviced by a sleek shower room and an external cloakroom for added convenience. There is also a useful multifunctional hallway where you can hang your jackets and store shoes, climbing ropes or even a pushchair. Come morning, head into the local area for a bite to eat or to stock up on the essentials before immersing yourself into a host of countryside activities, from hikes up to Snowdon summit, and strolls through Beddgelert Forest, to a thrill-seeking day out at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry or the chance to brush up on your local knowledge at Gelert's Grave. Travelling towards Llanberis, tour Dolbadarn Castle, overlooking the stunning waters of Llyn Padarn, aboard Llanberis Lake Railway for a 5-mile journey across the county or plan a trip to the National Slate Museum into your itinerary, showcasing years of Welsh heritage. Porthmadog is a short drive away, where you can browse a plethora of shops and tea rooms, while the fantastic black rock sands are also close by and offer access right onto the beach in your car. Alternatively, head to Caernarfon, perfect for strolling across the pier, visiting one of three sandy shores within the area, or enjoying a guided tour around Caernarfon Castle and its grand structure. Enjoy your time in North Wales at Wenallt.

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 of 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 a short journey 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.
