Bryn Y Felin is a welcoming cottage set within Y Felinheli, Gwynedd, offering countryside views and private driveway parking for one car.

The ground-floor sleeping arrangement works well for families and friends, with two double bedrooms, a single room, and a bathroom featuring a bath with shower over.

A lower-ground-floor cloakroom supports busy mornings, while the reverse-level design encourages guests to come together in the living spaces as the day unfolds.

The lower ground floor hosts the kitchen, arranged around a range cooker and suited to unhurried holiday cooking.

Nearby, the kitchen/diner provides a natural place to linger over meals, with doors opening onto a balcony that draws in light and rural outlooks.

The sitting room sits alongside, where the open fire and Smart TV shape relaxed evenings filled with conversation, films, or a board game after a day exploring.

Outside, the lawned garden offers space to stretch out, and one well-behaved pet is welcome to share the break.

From the doorstep, Y Felinheli offers easy access to the Menai Strait, where waterside strolls near the marina reveal changing light across the water and passing boats.

Caernarfon lies close by, pairing its well-known castle with a lively waterfront and historic streets to wander.

Bangor provides a different pace, with coastal views from the pier, a cathedral at its centre, and plenty of spots to stop for lunch.

Further inland, Llanberis is a popular base for exploring the landscapes and heritage sites of Eryri, with lakeside routes and visitor attractions drawing people back year after year.

After full days out, Bryn Y Felin offers a familiar place to return to.

A lovely stay.

Fabulous views made the stay special. In good weather you can sit out on the terrace.Good kitchen. No freezer but adequate icebox in fridge and big Tescos is not far away. We got confused over the Smart tv but owner came over straight away to explain it. Lovely large settees. Games and books supplied. Convenient location for Anglesey and Snowdon. I recommend LLys Derwen campsite that does doggy day care which is needed if going on Snowdon Mountain Railway and you have a dog with you.

Hi Mary, Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased that you enjoyed the fabulous views, the terrace, and the games and books, and that the house was a convenient base for exploring Anglesey and Snowdon. We were happy to pop over and help with the Smart TV, and we appreciate your helpful note about the fridge icebox and nearby Tesco. Thank you also for recommending Llys Derwen’s Doggy Day Care—this is a particularly useful suggestion for guests hoping to enjoy the Snowdon Mountain Railway with their dogs and we'll add it to our Handbook next time it's being updated.. It was a pleasure to host you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back to any time. Kind regards, Alan @ Bryn y Felin

A small kitchen knife is needed.

There is a washer but nowhere to dry anything. A clothes line or clothes airer is required. There is not a hoover we always like to hoover before we leave or as and when due to dogs and sand. Apart from that the accommodation was great and the view spectacular.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Bryn y Felin and the spectacular views. We appreciate your suggestions about somewhere to dry washing and a vacuum cleaner, particularly for guests bringing dogs or returning from the beach. We’ve checked the kitchen inventory and there should have been a small kitchen knife so I can only apologise for its' disappearance and assure you that it has been replaced. Thank you also for being so considerate about keeping the house clean. We’d love to welcome you back any time. Kind regards, Alan @ Bryn y Felin

Fabulous views, but I’m afraid that is the only good thing about this property.

Very dated inside, curtains flimsy and hanging off the rails! Small bedroom dismal, no bedside lamp, no shade on the ceiling light, no bedside sockets. One wardrobe between 3 bedrooms. We left the property after 2 nights when we had booked for 4 nights as we didn’t feel comfortable in the house! Desperately in need of updating to encompass the wonderful views the property benefits from.

Owner response:

Hi Debbie, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. While we are pleased the views were a highlight, we are deeply sorry that the interior of the property disappointed you to the point of leaving early. Your feedback is entirely valid and serves as a helpful catalyst for us. We have already rectified the issues you highlighted in the small bedroom by installing a lampshade and providing a bedside lamp, and our maintenance team has repaired the curtains. We are also looking into additional storage solutions to supplement the current wardrobe space. We truly wish you had contacted us during your first two days so we could have fixed these items for you immediately. We are taking your broader comments about updating the property on board as we plan future improvements. Thank you again for your honesty. Best wishes, Alan @ Bryn-y-Felin

We had a great time at Bryn Y Felin and would definitely return.

The house was very roomy and light - plenty of space for a family of four. The views from each room and the balcony were wonderful. We enjoyed playing the board games that were supplied, and everything was spotless. The shower was good, and so was wifi. The village is really lovely - we had breakfast at Swellies and Llofft and a takeaway from the chip shop/Chinese. It was a perfect base to explore the area and Anglesey. The only thing I'd say is that the curtains in the main bedroom were very thin, so eye masks are useful. There was a warning about some cars with low clearance on the drive, and we did indeed encounter this on the way in (not the way out), as our car is low and long, but there were a couple of small flagstones we used to raise the car up a little as we went over the hump. Most cars would be absolutely fine. Thanks for a great stay and we hope to come again!

Dear Johanna, Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We are delighted that you and your family had such a great time at Bryn Y Felin and that you found it to be a good all round base for your stay. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the views from the balcony and made good use of the board games! Thank you as well for shouting out some of our great local spots like The Swellies, Llofft, and Chan's—future guests will definitely find those recommendations helpful. We really appreciate your constructive note about the curtains in the main bedroom; we will certainly look into adding thicker linings or blackout blinds. In the meantime, your tip about bringing an eye mask is great advice. We also want to thank you for being so understanding and resourceful regarding the hump in the driveway! We're glad the flagstones helped your car over it safely, and we appreciate you highlighting the warning for future guests. Sadly the drive was constructed to a very tight Council Specification so there is not much we can do about it beyond warning people. It was a pleasure having you, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back for another stay in the future! Kind Regards, Alan @ Bryn-y-Felin
