    “We had a good week at the property , there was plenty of space and the facilities offered were really good , having the amazon account was a real bonus on the main TV especially when the weather was not great.”

    We have stayed in many properties over the years and would consider this to be a premium listing based on its size and cost to stay. Being contructive I would say the cleaners need to be checked more regulary as there were a lot of cobwebs in a number of rooms and there was mold around the kids bedroom window not to mention some of the pans/trays were unusable clearly not cleaned correctly by previous guests or checked between changeovers.

    We have stayed in many properties over the years and would consider this to be a premium listing based on its size and cost to stay. Being contructive I would say the cleaners need to be checked more regulary as there were a lot of cobwebs in a number of rooms and there was mold around the kids bedroom window not to mention some of the pans/trays were unusable clearly not cleaned correctly by previous guests or checked between changeovers. The gaming chair did not work and there was no way to charge the controller on the playstation , that being said a teenager will always find a way to game and just sat next to the console, in a brilliant gaming space on a large projection screen . It would appear a number of pictures had been removed from walls but the nails were still in place which was a hazzard for a taller person ( me) I bent them up so no harm done, but its still attention to detail as other people may cause a fuss if they walk into a nail. Parts of the house were tired like a cracked shower tray in the main bathroom and some finishing off in the bathroom could also be better. The hottub was good for the kids but there was no temperature control so it could not be adjusted so not ideal for adults who like a `hot` tub. The welcome gift of some milk and a pack of scones was an unusual one , would have been better served with some tea/coffee sachets instead to have a brew before unpacking. If I had the owners mobile I would have happily shared our feedback because i dont want it to put anyone off from staying here. The house overall was good and had the family lived in feel it was just let down by a few things that would be very easy to sort, and despite our observations we would stay there again in the future because the living space and the quailty of the equiptment made the week for us.

The property

Caernarfon 1.4 miles.

Enjoying an elevated position and looking over the rooftops to the Menai Strait in Porth Waterloo near Caernarfon, Gwynedd, is this stunning, detached period house of Carreg Y Garth.

With idyllic ivy adorning its front and gorgeous, countryside surroundings, Carreg Y Garth is a charming setting for a large family of eight or two small families' breaks in this part of Wales.

Off-road parking on a private driveway welcomes you on arrival, so you can easily unload your things before taking in those stunning views.

Head inside to be welcomed by a reception hall, before making yourself at home in the charming sitting room, where leather seating rests in front of a crackling woodburning stove and a flatscreen TV.

Whilst you unwind in the sitting room, the youngsters of the group can continue to the snug/games room, where a selection of games await to keep them entertained.

After relaxing for a while, continue to the kitchen, where grey shaker-style cabinets boast an array of superb appliances, including a range cooker, ideal for any budding chef!

Enjoy a tasty dinner in the neighbouring conservatory/dining room, where summer evenings allow natural light to stream into the space, adding to its convivial feel.

After dinner, climb the stairs to find four wonderful bedrooms, including a king-size, double and a twin, as well as a double bunk that is perfect for children.

Further along the landing on the first floor rests a fabulous bathroom; here, you will feel spoilt for choice when it comes to freshening up, thanks to the freestanding bath and glass, walk-in shower!

Downstairs, a shower room can also be found, for added convenience.

Be sure to make the most of the property's lovely outdoor spaces, including a large front lawn and a charming, enclosed rear garden, where you can enjoy alfresco dining.

Travel a short way to Caernarfon, where a plethora of eateries and shops await, as well as a gorgeous dock and a range of historic landmarks, including the famed Caernarfon Castle and the Sefontium Roman Fort.

Check out Llanberis, a charming village tucked away in the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park with lots offer, from the National Slate Museum and Dolbadarn Castle to the Blue Peris Mountain Centre and Llanberis Lake Railway.

A day out in Bangor is a must, where Garth Pier offers a great array of kiosks, the Roman Camp offers amazing views of the town, and the Nantporth North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve provides delightful walks!

Why not pay Anglesey or Llandudno a visit for more coastal fun, or spend more time within the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park to discover caverns, whitewater rafting and climbing?

A blissful break awaits at Carreg Y Garth.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.

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.
