Celyn Farm Cottage
Description
This cosy and pretty stone-built, detached barn conversion is situated next to the owners’ home, near the small hamlet of Deiniolen, four miles from Llanberis.
Surrounded by some wonderful scenic countryside on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, this delightful cottage offers an ideal base for couples who love the outdoors with walks in abundance.
Celyn Farm Cottage has wonderful charm and appeal combined with character attributes, such as whitewashed stone walls and exposed beams.
The living accommodation is open plan with the sitting area enjoying a high-pitched ceiling with exposed purlins and timbers extenuating the feeling of space.
The warm and welcoming woodburning stove, with a most unusual log basket, provides a relaxing atmosphere in cooler months and is a perfect place to curl up together and watch a favourite film.
There is also the useful added benefit of a pulleymaid above the woodburner where you can dry ample amounts of clothing after days out and about.
The kitchen is fresh and modern with and a Belfast sink and there is small but functional shower room tucked in just off the kitchen.
Upstairs the crog loft provides you with a quirky bedroom with sloping ceilings, restricted head height, low level double bed and a great view over the sitting area.
Outside there is a courtyard with seating to take in the wonderful views where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee.
There are superb walks and cycle trails all around, which offer stunning mountain and coastal views, including those that lead to the Marchlyn Mawr Reservoir and the northern slopes of Elidir Fawr.
Lanberis is four miles away where you can enjoy the Lake Railway which runs alongside the banks of Llyn Padarn, whilst Llanberis itself has shops, pubs and restaurants, and is the gateway to the stunning Mount Snowdon.
This lovely cottage is an ideal base for exploring the Snowdonia National Park and beyond all year round.

What guests are saying
ideal and idelic,this little converted barn is everything u need to relax in comfort and tranquility.
tucked away from it all,yet with pleasa nt views, so compact and stylish, cant recomend enough.
Alice and Nigel were such warm and welcoming hosts.
The place is cute and cosy, perfect for a little escape to gorgeous north Wales.
Being a converted barn the accommodation was exactly as expected.
Owners were really nice and friendly and I chatted to Nigel quite a bit when I saw him throughout my stay. Loved the wood burning stove. Great little place and I would definitely stay there again.
Hi Andy, thank you so much for your feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay with us, hopefully see you again one day... Have a great summer. Nigel and Alice
Brilliant stay at Celyn Farm Cottage!
As a solo traveller, this was the perfect place to stay. The hosts were really friendly and helpful. The property was beautiful, well appointed and in a stunning location. I was doing a triathlon event in Llanberis and had somewhere safe to leave my bike. The directions were spot on and my only wish would have been for some kinder weather but you can't have it all. The location is perfect to explore Eryri National Park, to go to the beach or to visit Bangor, Anglesey etc. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
Hi Marie, firstly thank you for your kind feedback, it was a pleasure too meet you and well done on your completing your triathlon. We're so glad you enjoyed staying with us, it's all worth while when guests take happy memories. I hope you got your car back all mended, and if your this way again please don't hesitate too call and say hello. Nigel and Alice
We had such a wonderful stay at Celyn Farm Cottage!
The accommodation itself was beautiful, the owners were very friendly. We enjoyed using the wood burner as well as seeing all the animals - especially the calfs and miniature horses- I can't recommend it enough.
Hi girls, thank you for your lovely card you left, Alice us going too frame it as she loved your artwork, so glad you had a great few days with us and enjoyed the cottage. It makes it all worth while too see happy faces. Have a great summer. Nigel and Alice
What a beautiful little cottage and lovely surroundings, with the most friendly and lovely hosts.
Everything you need is in the cottage. The log burner even set up and ready to go for you, for those chillier evenings. WiFi available and there's even have Netflix on the TV. Everything is so comfortable and cosy. I will set out my one and only warning though (for those of a taller stature)... The mezzanine bedroom has a very low ceiling (which was to be expected though, so we managed) but the bed was ever so comfortable. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking to stay in the area. Loads to do in the local areas, but all tourist attractions and towns within half an hour's drive or less.
Very happy with the cottage.
A lovely spot. Even the lane to it is picturesque! Great dog too. Friendly owners who made us very welcome. Thanks.
Thanks for feedback Tim, it's so fulfilling too have happy customers, it all becomes worthwhile, have a fantastic summer, all the best. Nigel and Alice
Lovely little cottage, well kitted out and in a brilliant location to get out into the mountains.
Hi Richard, thank you for feedback, much appreciated, hope you had a good run home, so happy you guys had a good week, it is so much more pleasing for us when everything runs smooth and fulfilling for our guests, hopefully see u again, have a great summer and thanks again for your custom. Nigel and Alice
This was my second visit to Celyn Farm Cottage and it was just as good as the first time.
Being situated within the Snowdonia National park but close to Caenarfon, Anglesey and the coast, it's ideal for a couple or a lone holiday-maker looking for a base for an active holiday, walking or cycling. The cottage is clean and well-equipped. I didn't need it this time but I know from my previous visit that the woodburner makes the cottage snug and warm. The owners, Nigel and Alice are friendly and helpful. I'd recommend this property to anyone without hesitation. No doubt, I'll be back soon!
Hi Jonathan, thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it's a pleasure too host, we enjoy meeting people and welcoming them too stay, so nice too see you and your good lady again, have a glorious summer, till the next time.... Nigel and Alice
Thank you for a lovely holiday at the cottage and making me feel so welcome there.
Only thing I can think of was missing there was some small wine/whisky glasses as not find any.
Hi Jeff, was a pleasure too host you. So glad you had a pleasant week, you left the cottage perfect, which is appreciated, you are a pure gentleman.... I hope our paths cross again someday, I wish you had mentioned the small glass issue, there were some in there but got broken, my over sight not replacing them. Take care, and enjoy your next walking holiday. Nigel and Alice.
Really cozy little cottage which was perfect for our stay.
Nigel was really friendly and they had a lovely dog, Luna, whose presence was very much appreciated. Good location for exploring Anglesey and the national park and loads of beautiful walks in close proximity. Would hope to come back here at some point and would recommend to anyone wishing to have a more rural and nature-full stay.
Hi bryony, thanks for your feedback, was lovely to meet you guys, hope your journey home didn't take too long, so happy you had a fulfilling week, I think you covered all angles and went home with some happy memories, hopefully see u again one day, thanks again. Nigel

Hi Lucy, thank u for your lovely feedback, was a pleasure too meet and host u guys, I love happy customers, hopefully see u again soon, thanks.... Nigel
The owners went above and beyond, so helpful ans friendly.
So many places to visit with this as a great bolt hole to come back too.
Only personal issue as I bigger built person it was a bit tight to get into shower
The cottage was lovely.
Very cosy and well equipped. It is in a good location, plenty to see and do only a short drive away and the owners were friendly and helpful. Thank you :)
Hi kerry, thanks for feedback, was great too meet u guys, and omg you win the prize for best left cottage, it was immaculate, all the best... Nigel n crew
Lovely stay and beautiful little cottage in a perfect setting.
Very welcoming host and will definitely be back soon! Thank you Nigel and family.. and the gorgeous Luna of course
Hi, thank you for your feedback, so glad you had some great chill time and we're blessed with the weather.... We look forward to next time, take care Nigel, Alice n cre
If you're the outdoor type, spending days exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside then this place will be right for you.
It's basic but very clean, probably better suited to summer than winter. If you want a lazier option, time spent inside reading etc, listening to music then it might not be ideal. Nigel and Alice were more than helpful and very friendly. The cottage is situated down a quiet country lane with incredible views, easy access to both Snowdon and Anglesey and there is a generous and unlimited supply of wood for the stove.
Great place to stay with everything you need for your stay provided by the owners.
They made us feel welcome from beginning to end of the holiday with help and advice and putting themselves out for our late arrival. Will definitely recommend and be staying there again soon.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.
It's in a perfect location to access so many great places in North Wales.
We had a lovely few days at the cottage.
It was perfect for the two of us. Nigel was very helpful and friendly.
Haha, it's great too see my name in print... Thank you so much for your comments, was lovely too meet you guys, I hope our paths cross again sometime.
All was perfect!
We definitely come back in the late summer :)
So happy you enjoyed your stay with us, was lovely to meet you and look forward to seeing you guys in the summer, take care. Nigel and Alice
We had a wonderful week in beautiful Snowdonia.
The property was just as described. Wouldn't recommend to anyone with major disabilities or very tall as limited height room in bedroom and quite a few stairs . But that was made clear in description and for us was ideal. Friendly owners who were next door. Always there with advice . Brilliant value for money.
Everyone should have the opportunity at least once in their lives to meet hosts as Nigel and Alice.
They were very helpful and very careful with everything. They have two amazingly well-behaved children. They're very lucky with such parents. They have a dog also which is so friendly. Our accommodation was better because Luna was there. The cottage is lovely, immaculate and has everything you need. The location of the cottage is perfect, close to shops and it is very quiet. One of the best places which we ever stayed. We highly recommended and we look forward to go again. Thank you Alice and Nigel for everything, also for the lovely surprise on arrival, beer, Welsh scones and crisps. We wish you all the best, Raluca & Gabriel
The cottage was as described.
The hosts Nigel and Alice were extremely helpful,very friendly and their attention to detail was second to nothing. The property was extremely clean with everything you would need to make your stay as relaxing as possible. The rural location is wonderful with some great views towards Snowdon and also Caernarfon. Caernarfon and Bangor a short drive with good restaurants and supermarkets. Llanberis is close by with the various attractions associated with it. All in all a very comfortable cottage with some great hosts in a beautiful location We would recommend this cottage to any couples looking to escape the rat run and unwind.
Hi Tim, thank you for the lovely feedback, was great too meet u guys, you left the cottage as if nobody had been there, amazing. Hopefully we'll see you again sometime, all the best Nigel and Alice...
Had a great stay at Celyn farm cottage We were meet by both Nigel, Alice and the children on arrival and where all full of information and Guidance Great location for discovering snowdonia National park The cottage was perfectly equipped for 2 and very clean and well presented With a very comfortable bed after a long walk Would highly recommend this cottage
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We really appreciate it, and are so glad you enjoyed your stay here at Celyn. Wishing you both all the best, N&A
This is a little gem of a cottage.
Comfy, with everything I needed, it was great to come back to a well-stocked log burner after a long day outside. The decor feels rustic but modern and fresh. Ideal as a base for striking out into Snowdonia or for exploring the North Wales coast. As one of the things I wanted to do was ride the Brailsford Way, it was great that there was somewhere to store my bike. The hosts were really friendly and helpful. Couldn't recommend it enough.
Thank you so much John, was a pleasure to meet you, we're so happy you had a perfect week away from all the hustle n bustle of everyday life. Take care Nigel and Alice
Owners were very welcoming.
Cottage is lovely and cosy, has everything you need. Close to all amenities. Perfect for hiking which is why we chose this particular location. Would recommend and will return.
Hi Kerry, thank you for taking the time to write some lovely feedback. I'm so pleased you enjoyed both your stay here at Celyn and everything the area has to offer. Best wishes, Alice
We had a fantastic few days.
The cottage was perfect we can honestly say we had no issues. The owners Nigel and Alice were welcoming , friendly and left us to get on with things but also made us feel at home , very special people. I can only recommend their beautiful cottage to anybody looking to stay in an excellent location. Hoping to go back there later this year. Oh and Luna the dog will give you a great welcome!!
Hello Gavin, Thank you so much for such lovely feedback! I'm so glad you both enjoyed your stay and the cottage was perfect for you. All the best, Alice and Nigel
Lovely cosy cottage in a great location for exploring Snowdonia.
Perfect base for our walking adventures. Owners were friendly & helpful & the welcome goodies were appreciated. Would recommend
Hi Sarah, thank you for taking the time to write some positive feedback, it very much appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Celyn and got lots of adventures packed in too. All the best, Alice
Only one criticism is that I think it would be nice to have a coffee table In front of the sofa.
Beautiful place and very clean
Hi Russell, thank you so much for taking the time to write some great feedback. It's really useful to have little suggestions on how to improve guest experience and comfort so we will definitely be taking your suggestion into consideration. Many Thanks, Alice and Nigel.
A Lovely Little barn conversion.
Well placed for some excellent walks in the surrounding area. The owners are both friendly and helpful. Will happily visit again.
Hello Allan, thank you for your feedback. I'm pleased that the cottage and area offered you a nice break. Best wishes, Alice
We booked this particular cottage as it looked quirky and were not disappointed.
Compact/cozy but had everything you needed. Owners very friendly and accommodating. Nice welcome goodies. Peaceful setting, a great base for walking/exploring. Lovely little gem!
Hi Maxine, reading your feedback makes my heart sing! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it, and I love your description of our little cottage. If I had had a vision of what we were trying to achieve with the barn conversion it would have been this! I hope you're both well, Best wishes, Alice and Nigel
Good communications and great cottage
Fab, Luverleeeeeeee couple who owned it
Alice and Nigel made us feel extremely welcome, especially with all the extra precautions due to the covid restrictions.
Everything was in place with very clear guidelines and all needs met. Their place is cosy, very homely and a perfect retreat for a lovely holiday. Thank you both very much.
Alice and Nigel, made us feel really comfortable.
We moved the cottage it was perfect for our honeymoon. A short drive from Llanberis and the path up to snowdon. The fire meant that when the weather was wet and windy we could come back and get warm and dry really quick. We will definitely be coming back soon as so much exploring we want to do in the area.
Owners of cottage were very friendly and helpful.
Would not recommend cottage for anyone with mobility problems.
Lovely welcoming family and perfect as a base for climbing Snowdon
Fantastic cottage, very clean, cosy and well equipped.
Hosts are very welcoming but not at all intrusive. Perfect location for a peaceful getaway to the mountains.
Lovely Cottage with great hosts who were always there if you needed anything.
Cottage is well stocked with everything you need and great that it’s dog friendly!
A lovely little cottage and perfect for a quiet secluded break.
The owners Nigel and Alice were amazing and always very helpful if needed. A welcome beer and free wood for the burner are nice touches. The wood burner is the only source of heating so can lead to cold starts in winter until this gets going
Loved everything about it, very cosy when the fire is lit.
Nigel and Alice are good hosts very friendly
Great location for exploring Snowdonia.
In our opinion,whilst the cottage was as described, we didn't quite realise it was so small with a lack of windows, making it feel a little claustrophobic.
The views around are stunning but once in the cottage you can't see a thing. We feel the shower room needs a larger basin with hot water to make shaving/ washing easier. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful but we did feel there was a lack of privacy, cutting both ways. A simple trellis would help this.
The cottage was as expected in a great area for mountain lovers like us.
It's very close to the owners, but very quiet nonetheless if peace is what you are looking for. Personally, their close proximity is a comfort if anything goes wrong, which it didn't of course. Hope to return when next in the area.
Alice and Nigel gave us such a lovely warm welcome, the cottage was such a brill find and an excellent base to lots of tourists attractions.
The cottage was cosy and clean, would 100% recommend!
We had a fantastic time, beautiful traditional cosy barn.
Very clean and very welcoming owners that lives opposite. Excellent
Lovely little stone built cottage, 18 minutes from Snowdon, perfect for exploring the area, central to everything.
The cottage owners were very helpful We were met at the door with fresh flowers and the log burner had been lit.
So it was nice and cozy The cottage is not huge and doesn’t have very much hanging space, but everything is fully functional and fitted our needs exactly A few days walking in the hills, such a shame the weather wasn’t on our side high winds zero visibility and driving rain wasn’t part of the plan. We would return to Celyn anytime, as we like remote cottages with log burners in mountainous regions.
This is our second consecutive year at Celyn Farm Cottage and we were welcomed back warmly by the hosts like old friends.
The fire was lit prior to our arrival and there were fresh flowers and Welsh Cakes waiting for us. The cottage is always so clean and tidy, plenty of wood for the log burner which heats the entire place very efficiently. The peace and quiet is beautiful, as are the surroundings, a great location to be based when exploring and falling in love with Snowdonia and surrounding coastal towns. It really is a slice of perfection. If you work hard, have busy lives and need to switch off, this is definitely the place to do that. We only wish our time here was a bit longer. We will 100% be back for our third visit next year. Thank you for a lovely time Nigel and Alice. See you soon. Steve and Ceri.
We had a fantastic long weekend in this cosy and romantic cottage.
The location is perfect for those wanting a quiet break from the hustle and bustle of city life. The owners were very welcoming and the price even included plenty of logs and kindling for the woodburner! We will be coming back to Celyn Farm Cottage. It is now very special to us as we got engaged during our stay!
Absolutely beautiful little piece of heaven to stay in!
What a cottage! What views! And the owners went above and beyond such a lovely little family to have at hand if needed. We had an amazing Christmas in this beautiful place that feels like it is in the middle of nowhere but has so much on your doorstep. Waking up to those views every morning was a real treat ! We've never visited Wales before but definitely will be going back hopefully to this amazing little cottage with views that leaves lasting memories of a wonderful Christmas, the owners have done an amazing job so comfortable,clean,and cozy!
Excellent long weekend away, owners were lovely and very helpful.
Although the cottage was alongside their home we felt comfortable and secluded in our own little space for the weekend. They left welcome gifts, pots, pans and the essentials along with bedding and towels. Cottage is set down a lane that is quiet enough to make you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but then conveniently you find yourself only a walk from Llanberis or a drive to the many spectaculars of North Wales. The weather was grim which meant the log burner felt extra special and made for an extra cosy weekend. 100% recommend. Not a bad price either, considering the location.
The cottage was beautiful,very quaint ,comfy and cosy,will definitely rebook,had an amazing holiday,hosts excellent, location, couldn't have been any better,,we loved it ,,thanks to host ,, and exceptional value for money ,had everything you could possibly need ,,,!
!!?
Lovely comfortable, cosy, clean cottage; very well equipped.
We loved the wood burner. The owners were friendly and helpful. Great location for Snowdonia and Anglesey.
It was a lovely cottage and had everything we needed.
And as for the family that rented it out they couldn't do enough for us and were so friendly. Even after encountering my brother before we arrived.. so funny lol thank you for a lovely stay. Hope to be back nxt year x
Great place , great location!
Made to feel welcome by Alice and Nigel, would definitely stay again .
Excellent area and accommodation, owners are very kind and helpful and would highly recommend this place to family and friends
Will have to come back to Snowdonia, as still haven't seen any views from the top!
! Weather great in the valley, no visibility at the top.
We had a wonderful time.
Cosy cottage with a lovely wood burning stove!
The location is stunning and a great base for exploring the area, with plenty of local amenities and lots of things to see and do.
The hosts were great and very welcoming, the cottage itself a lovely converted outhouse with everything you need for a very enjoyable time away.
The cottage is excellently locates only 7 minute drive from Llanberis!
The other to get to it is quite narrow but doable. We liked the remoteness and the fact that only the owner and her family lived next door. They were super friendly and helpful. Responded VERY quickly to questions and had some Welsh cakes for us when we arrived in the cottage! The cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway for two. It has absolutely everything you need, especially in th kitchen. I love cooking and I didn’t miss anything there. There’s no washing machine but we only stayed 3 nights, so it wasn’t. A problem at all. We loved it! We’re already planning to come back for a longer stay some time in the autumn. Excellent property and service. Would highly recommend it! Thanks Sykes Cottages!
A wonderful cottage with very friendly owners.
Lovely views, exceptionally nice inside and a wonderful welcome from Nigel and Alice. We will certainly return.
i.
m telling all my friends that if they want to stay in north wales check this location out or other slkes cottages out
The cottage was absolutely wonderful in every way.
We were welcomed by Alice who showed us around and the cottage has all anyone will need for a break in this beautiful part of Snowdonia. The property was immaculately clean and tidy and the attention to detail was noticed all around. We really did not want to leave, It was like home from home and ticked all the boxes. Alice and Nigel were very pleasant and friendly, a lovely family which added to the relaxed atmosphere. This was a joint birthday break for myself and my partner and we loved it so much that we have already booked again for next year. See you both then. 10 out of 10.
Sadly we had to cut it short because of the weather!
But we will definitely be back!!! Nigel & Alison are lovely and did as much to help us as they could
Very friendly and hospitable hosts
A really nice cottage.
Great location, would stay again, for sure!

A Superb location and the friendliest hosts we have ever met!
Had a wonderful week away exploring the snowdonia mountain ranges.
Cottage wonderful, snug and cosy. The owners are a lovely family very welcoming. Excellent views. Definitely be returning soon. Thank you for a lovely weeks break.
Nice cottage could do with a few more creature comforts like a comfy sofa and potato masher.
..minor issues...lovely hosts...cottage was great for 3 nights...could do with some wardrobes if on a 7 night stay
The cottage was gorgeous.
The little extra touches that Alison and Nigel did made the holiday all the more perfect. Very friendly and welcoming. We will be returning no doubt.

The extra little touches were thoughtful & welcome.
