    “Penlan is in a prime location in Beddgelert.”

    We have been before as it is very special but we were disappointed with the lack of maintenance and investment in the property. The heating doesn’t work at all and the small portable heaters will not be sufficient in colder weather. The towels provided were so rough you could exfoliate with them and even worse they stank. The kitchen is not well stocked with equipment and the windows have blown which is a crying shame considering the views you have from them. It would also be lovely to have ...

    We have been before as it is very special but we were disappointed with the lack of maintenance and investment in the property. The heating doesn’t work at all and the small portable heaters will not be sufficient in colder weather. The towels provided were so rough you could exfoliate with them and even worse they stank. The kitchen is not well stocked with equipment and the windows have blown which is a crying shame considering the views you have from them. It would also be lovely to have some garden furniture provided. I would recommend Penlan as it is beautiful but it is so sad the owners are not maintaining it to a higher standard.

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, welcoming pubs, including Saracens Head and the Royal Goat, and restaurants, centred around the Afon Glaslyn river. A leisurely stroll along the river will take you to the Aberglaslyn Pass, one of North Wales’s 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. From here, you can easily access Porthmadog, home to a Maritime Museum, the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, the Black Rock Llamas, and Porthmadog Golf Club, as well as Borth y Gest, where you can hike along the Beach Path, spend a day at the beach, and dine at the popular Black Rock Beach Club with stunning sea views, onwards to the Llyn Peninsula and beyond, this is an ideal location for a Welsh holiday.
