“Just returned from a relaxing stay at Glan Gwna Bach.”

Comfortable cottage, which was very well stocked, and had every thing we needed . We had many cosy evenings relaxing around the log burner. Within driving distance of many different places to visit. Thank you for a lovely getaway!

“This cottage would be lovely during the summer months, however not in the colder autumn/winter months, firstly l would say the kitchen was extremely well furnished although as mentioned by other guests there is no freezer or ice box in the fridge.”

The first problem encountered was the key box l had to use the torch on my mobile to see the numbers on the box there is no switch for the porch light outside also when you open it the front of the box comes away l also had the same problem when leaving. The water is heated by solar panels which are on a roof with large tree branches hanging over them so not ideal in the colder months of the year when there is not so much sun, we tried to follow the instructions left by the owners to get hot water through the taps but to no avail so we rang the caretakers who were very helpful in talking us through how to use the booster box. The only radiator which was warm was behind the settee in the dining room the thermostat controlling the heating system was not working luckily it was not cold but a bit more heat would have been welcomed. The final point is the bathroom myself and others in our party are in our middle to late sixties and getting into the bath for the overhead shower in what is a small bathroom is not easy. This is the fourth cottage we have rented through Skyes and l must say it is far from the best therefore we will not be returning.

“We were very comfortable during our stay.”

The house is spacious, beautifully decorated and had good facilities. The property is secluded with a large pretty garden. It is well located with Caernarfon and Snowdon close by. We had a lovely holiday and we’re sad to leave.

“We had a thoroughly chilled relaxing week’s holiday at this lovely cottage everything we needed , ideal for a base if you are planning to visit areas around .”

We visited Porthmadog , Anglesey with the beautiful Beaumaris,.Bangor, and Llanberis where you can get the train up Snowdon and of course. Caernarfon where you can visit the Castle we will ,certainly use this cottage in the future

“This is a lovely cottage, in a great location and we would return.”

I would point out that there is no freezer at this property and no ice box in the fridge. On a very hot day, with the Aga constantly on, there is no facility to keep an ice cream or have ice. We took our ice maker which was a life saver in the heat. Also only one bath towel is provided for each guest with a hand towel provided in each bathroom. As there were three ladies, and we use hand towels for our hair it would be helpful to provide one for each guest. Apart from that, it had everything you need for a lovely comfortable holiday.

“The bed's were very soft (maybe time to replace).”

In the second bedroom maybe have a move round of the furniture it is very awkward to get out of the bed because it's up against the wall you have to climb over your partner

The property

Caernarfon 2.3 miles.

Set within the beautiful rural village of Caeathro, just a stone's throw away from Snowdonia National Park, is the charming white-washed dwelling of Glan Gwna Bach.

A warm and welcoming cottage with charming features throughout, this homely abode provides the ultimate base from which a family or group of five can explore the true delights of North Wales.

Enter into a traditional country kitchen and stumble upon a range of well-designed appliances such as a large fridge and an impressive oil-fired range AGA, perfect for cooking up many mouth-watering meals for everyone to enjoy.

Join loved ones in the restful living/dining room, where you can begin to map out your upcoming adventures whilst gathered at the dining table, or snuggle up on the plush corner sofa and delight in your favourite shows on the TV.

Retreat to the sitting room for a relaxing evening in front of the woodburning stove, or grab a book from the extensive selection available in the snug before curling up and enjoying a moment of peace and quiet as you keep warm from the heat of the gas fire.

Take the staircase up to the first floor and discover three fabulous bedrooms comprised of a king-size with en-suite cloakroom, a double and a single, providing room for the whole family.

Each of the bedrooms can be found hosting an abundance of storage and are served by a family bathroom on the ground floor.

Spend afternoons out in the garden as you delight in dinner alfresco out on the lawn, or catch up with friends on the patio with a refreshing glass of wine.

See the very best that the area has to offer with trips to the centre of Caernarfon, home to the imposing fortress of Caernarfon Castle and the remains of the town walls.

Grab dinner and drinks in one of the many restaurants that line the streets, or embrace the great outdoors with a hike to the top of Pen Twthill.

Spend the day in Llanberis where you can enjoy a scenic train ride to the peak of Mount Snowdon or see the cascading waters of Ceunant Mawr Waterfall.

Those travelling with children should be sure to check out Greenwood Family Park and Anglesey Sea Zoo, whilst thrill seekers can fly through the skies with an outdoor adventure like never before with Zip World Slate Caverns, all just a pleasant drive away.

The Isle of Anglesey also provides ample opportunity to explore the vast Wales coastline with many breath-taking hiking routes boasting incredible local landmarks along the way.

See the iconic South Stack Lighthouse on Holy Island, or uncover the ruins of Llys Rhosyr.

Upon return to your cottage, be sure to stop off for some groceries at the local supermarket or grab a pint down at the local pub.

With lots of adventure right on your doorstep, be sure to book a stay at Glan Gwna Bach.
