Guests say
Bangor Cottage is a spacious, well-equipped property in an excellent location for exploring North Wales and Anglesey. Guests consistently praise the friendly, welcoming hosts and the cottage’s comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches. The property is ideal for families and dog owners, with a secure garden and plenty of room. While the single bathroom and some minor maintenance issues are noted, the positives far outweigh the negatives, making it a highly recommended base for a relaxing holiday.
The majority of guests found the cottage spotlessly clean and well maintained, with several specifically mentioning the high standard of cleanliness, even for those sensitive to pet-friendly properties. A few minor comments about tired interiors and garden maintenance were noted but did not detract from the overall impression.
The location is frequently praised for its convenience to Bangor, Anglesey, and North Wales attractions. Guests appreciated the quiet setting and proximity to amenities, though some mentioned the steep hill and tricky access road. Overall, the location is seen as a major asset.
Guests found the cottage spacious, warm, and comfortable, with good beds and plenty of room for families and dogs. Some noted firm or child-suited mattresses and the challenge of a single bathroom for larger groups, but comfort levels were generally very high.
The cottage is well equipped with kitchen utensils, games, and DVDs, and offers ample space indoors and out. Some guests mentioned the lack of a dishwasher, only one bathroom, and minor maintenance issues (e.g., garden bench, kitchen cupboard), but overall facilities met or exceeded expectations.
Many guests highlighted the hosts’ thoughtful touches, such as milk, butter, Welsh cakes, and even dog biscuits on arrival. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Bangor 1 mile. A welcoming cottage located next to the owner’s home, which is half a mile from the city centre, shops, café, restaurants, making Bangor Cottage an ideal place to stay. St Deiniol’s Golf Club is just moment’s away from the cottage if you fancy the 18-hole challenge. This neatly-presented, stylish Bangor cottage is perfect for a family wanting a cottage retreat in a superb location. There is a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for whipping up tasty meals, ready to enjoy in the dining room. After dinner, relax in the sitting room with high ceiling, sure to be the social hub during your stay, with three plush sofas and a TV with Freeview and DVD player.
There are four contemporary, styled bedrooms at this Bangor cottage, two-king-size and two double. Outside, the enclosed garden offers an attractive and secluded seating area with an enclosed lawn and patio area, ideal for alfresco dining. The Menai Strait offers a superb selection of watersports, as well as fishing opportunities, and the delights of Anglesey, with its superb sandy, golden beaches, is accessible within two miles of this Bangor cottage. Port Penrhyn Dock with fresh fish shop can be found just down the road. Continue along this road to find a nature trail, leading up to Penrhyn Quarry and the popular attraction of Zip World.
This can also be accessed by a 4-mile cycle track which is dog-friendly too or a short journey by car. Penrhyn Castle is also within easy reach of Bangor Cottage, where you can tour the Grand Hall and rooms with a collection of trains, and the vast grounds with children’s play area and tearooms. Here you can pass the day away with beautiful views and surroundings. Bangor has plenty to offer and is home to the longest high street in Wales at 1265m long, along with its pier which is the second longest in Wales at 1,500-ft offering refreshments at its end.
Jump in your car and drive over the Menai Suspension Bridge, which will lead you to Anglesey, where you can visit Beaumaris, here you can take a fishing trip, see the sights on a fast boat ride, visit the castle and venture down to the cells in the dungeon, stop at the quirky shops or sit on the front and enjoy the delights of the cafes. Bangor Cottage is ideally situated for a family holiday with everything you could need during your stay.
Bangor is a university town on the North Wales coast with a large range of shops, bars and restaurants. It is the main crossing point for the Isle of Anglesey with two road bridges across the Menai Strait. Across the water, the castle and pier at Beaumaris make a lovely day out, or you can catch a boat to enjoy a trip out to Puffin Island. Bangor and the Menai Straits really do offer the best of both worlds!

Cottage was very big and had everything you could need. Only three and a dog in our party, but more than enough room for 6. Our time there was lovely and would definitely return x

Location great for getting into town and especially if you have a child at Uni like we did. If I had to find a negative (a very small one) it would be only one toilet/bathroom which was challenging.at times (but we coped âºï¸) and if you have a bigger car the parking is really difficult but just takes a bit of patience and manoeuvring. All in all a really pleasant stay.

They are very friendly and ready to help in every way. We particularly like the dining room which was very light and airy and has wonderful views of the mountains and Puffin Island in the distance. The approach is a bit tricky at first with quite a steep hill but we had checked it out on Google World Street view which helped a great deal.
