“Wonderful place!”

Exactly as listed. Cottage was very homely and warm. Had a lovely stay!

“This is an old school holiday let, pretty basic but everything you need including a pint of milk and tea and coffee.”

Beautiful location. The lake in the pictures is actually across a main road which isn’t apparent from the pictures although there is access via a small gate and a short scramble through undergrowth. There is better access a little further down the road but there appears to be a charge to launch any craft, I think from the nearby campsite. There is a very large garden that isn’t maintained but is ideal for kids and dogs to run about in. All in all I would recommend this cottage.

“Lovely cottage - comfortable, warm and well equipped, with great views.”

Great location for exploring local area and enjoyed the stay. Nearby caffi gwynant is great, as are the campsite facilities and food by the lake. Suggestions where it could be improved: email directions not as clear as those in the welcome book (it took us a while to find the cottage); should be explicit about very poor rutted track on approach to house (had to park at youth hostel); wood burner chimney was unswept and, as a result, fire kept going out. As for the ‘Sykes’ experience I emailed twice ahead of the visit but didn’t get either email acknowledged or answered, which is disappointing.

“This is a lovely cottage in an idyllic location overlooking the mountains and lake.”

A welcome break from the fast pace of life. There is no internet or TV which adds to the charm of this cottage. The only point of note is that access to the cottage needs to be improved. The recommended access from the Youth Hostel is badly broken down and as indicated the first entrance is impassable by a car. Larger signs off the main road indicating the cottage would also be helpful.

“Remote, quiet location, perfect for us, quirky cottage, but meets all our needs”

- Tami Shepherd,
“Lovely cottage in great location.”

Away from internet and signal for a week and certainly didn't miss it. Some cars would struggle on the drive when loaded up so take care to arrive in daylight on arrival day. Comfy beds. Perhaps a bit more of a clean is needed in the kitchen. Great week with walks to the Snowdon summit starting a few hundred metres away. Thank you.

“The location of the cottage and the views onto the lake are beautifully peaceful, remote and serene.”

However, the cottage itself is in need of some rejuvenation (e.g. new sofa and armchairs needed, water tank above spare room is filling up very slowly and noisily over a long period of time) and the whole place needs a thorough top to bottom deep clean. The drive up to the cottage/ back onto the road is really quite off-road-ish and can easily present an issue for less confident drivers/ not off road suitable cars.

“Wow! That unbeatable view, the short walk to the lake, the magical garden.”

Both of us and the mutts were in holiday heaven. A 4x4 is useful for the track to the house. Can’t wait to return.

“Fab location, warm and welcoming, great facilities.”

Yes the drive could be trimmed back so the car would fit better through the bushes but that does not knock it back from 5 stars.

“Pantlleni is absolute delight!”

The most fabolous views! We had fantastic family time. No tv, no wifi and no mobile reception was a big plus to get away from our busy lives and spend quality time with the children. We played games, made a bonfire and had BBQs every night! The dog loved it too especially swimming in the lake every day! The location is perfect to engage in various mountain and water activities, Zip world is close by too. We are definitely coming back!

- Desi Gray,

Lovely, lovely Pantlleni! This holiday cottage holds a special place in our hearts - the fact that it's in the mountains and has incredible views across Snowdonia and has no TV or WiFi means that you can simply arrive, unpack and completely unwind. We're so pleased that you had such a relaxing and happy break. Owner relations

The property

In the heart of Snowdonia, this picturesque stone cottage has stunning views of the lake and mountains.

Facing down the valley, it looks across Lake Gwynant, which is fringed with trees, to the mountains that rise from the shore.

This wonderful view can be enjoyed from the fireside or from the garden. "The archetypal stone cottage with a breathtaking view.

Pantlleni gives one a sense of time standing still, it is charming & not 21st century inside, and I love it!" Pantlleni is very much a simplistic retreat, best suited to those who truly enjoy and appreciate the history and unique charm of traditional Welsh stone cottages.

You won't find the latest mod-cons or furnishings, but if you don't mind getting back to the basic necessities you will certainly find a sense of relaxation from the tranquil surroundings of this old cottage.

The holiday cottage makes a great, albeit simple base for those looking to explore the local area.

Step outside and breathe in the fresh mountain air - why not pack a picnic and while away a warm summer day by the picturesque Llyn Gwynant?

You could even take a paddleboard or canoe along and have a sail on the lake if you're feeling particularly adventurous! Close to Llanberis, Capel Curig and Beddgelert, Pantlleni is perfectly placed for exploring Snowdonia by car, or for walking the many footpaths that lead to the peaks and along the valley.

About half an hour's drive away are the sandy beaches of Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula; golf, horse riding and fishing are close by.

Note: Typical of many remote, rural properties, access is by a rough track.
