    “We have stayed in Encil four times and each time we have had towels provided not this time the listing doesn’t make it clear just tells you to bring a beach towel I don’t know why.”

    Called the owner she said the company they used had gone awol and apologised for the inconvenience and she would sort a bit of a discount but have not heard anything back as to date. I also think it’s time to change the mattress in the double bedroom not as comfortable as it was, will we book Encil again not sure regards Patrick Brown

    Thank you for your feedback and I will look at the mattress also I have just looked at the description about the property, I could not see anything about beach towels but it does say to bring your own towels . Sorry if this cause you any inconvenience I have now requested that Sykes makes the wording stand out more so there is no confusion moving forward . Property Owner

About the location

BEDDGELERT

Porthmadog 7.7 miles; Caernarfon 12.8 miles.

The picturesque village of Beddgelert lies in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park at the foot of Mount Snowdon. Beddgelert is a bustling village with arts and craft shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, centred around the Afon Glaslyn river. A 20 minute stroll along the river will take you to the Aberglaslyn Pass, one of North Wales’ most famous beauty spots. The Welsh Highland Steam Railway passes through the village on its journey from Porthmadog to Caernarfon. Beddgelert is famed for its monument to the Welsh Prince Llewelyn's dog, whom the Prince killed thinking it had attacked and killed his son, only to discover afterwards it had been defending his son from a savage wolf attack. With Porthmadog, Portmeirion, Borth y Gest and the whole of the Llyn Peninsula easily reached, this is an ideal location for a Welsh holiday.
