About this property
Tucked away within the small village of Bontnewydd is this endearing Grade II listed cottage, Ty Capel. This heart-warming base is within striking distance of the breath-taking Snowdonia National Park and the coastal towns of Caernarfon and Criccieth, offering a wonderful escape from city life for a family of four. The interior of the cottage has retained a wealth of traditional features which include the exposed brick fireplace, the Welsh dresser and the slate flooring, with a delightful blend of contemporary furnishings and fixtures. Step into the stylish kitchen/diner, where you can prepare all of your meals within the amply equipped kitchen or unwind with a glass of wine or book in front of the roaring multi-fuel fire, which fills the room with warmth during those chilly winter evenings. Look forward to curling up with your loved ones within the sitting room after a busy day exploring the area, where you can catch up on your favourite TV shows or simply reminisce on the day whilst sunk into the sofa. As the evening draws to a close, make your way up the staircase to retire to one of the two bedrooms, consisting of a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, each offering a tranquil setting for a refreshing sleep. To the outside, you can enjoy a refreshing beverage upon the patio area before heading into the centre of town, where you will find a selection of shops, and a fish and chip shop. Whilst staying here, venture out to the coast to spend an afternoon at one of the sandy beaches or head to the Snowdonia National Park, where you will find an abundance of outdoor opportunities to suit all. If you are visiting with younger guests, they will be delighted with the Bounce Below and Zip World attractions situated within driving distance. Alternatively, head to Anglesey where you will find a location which is certain to appeal to those looking to get away from it all. Here, you will find an island filled with history, culture, beaches and breath-taking landscapes which are waiting to be explored. Ty Capel is a wonderful traditional Welsh bolthole, perfect for your next getaway.

The welcome gift was well appreciated , especially after a very long journey. Few issues - the kitchen area was greasy and we had to wash up alot of the utensils and pans before using them . There were also clumps of hair and a contact lens found on the main bedroom floor. We contacted the owner, where we were told that she expected her guests to leave everything clean and does not check any of the kitchen utensils. We also found we could not open any of the windows for ventilation, this was stated in the information folder left by the owner. No ventilation made the main bedroom upstairs feel damp and our clothes felt damp to put on. This is surely a fire hazzard as there is only one door in and out of the property downstairs. The lights were a bit strange as you could only switch on the hallway landing light on upstairs . The shower in the bathroom takes ages to heat up , but the hot water from the taps is instant . The main gate to the parking area has rusted at the bottom and made opening and closing the gate difficult , but on the plus side there is a nice little seating area in the small courtyard area. With a bit of tlc this would be a lovely little cottage as it is a perfect location for exploring.
