About this property
Located in the rural village of Llanfaglan, just outside the royal town of Caernarfon, sits this beautiful, detached cottage, Bryn Derw. This pet-friendly home enjoys a garden to enjoy alfresco dining in the warmer months and offers private parking for two cars. Step inside to be greeted by the entrance hallway; here you can store your shoes and coats, ready for a countryside ramble. On your right, you will find a double bedroom, with tasteful furniture to house your items, where you can enjoy an afternoon read. Moving through the home, locate the open-plan living space, hosting two plush sofas so you can unwind with a cup of tea and flicker through the Smart TV. The shaker-style kitchen offers everything you need for a self-catered stay, including an electric oven and gas hob, as well as a dishwasher for a fuss-free clean. When meals are dished, gather around the dining table to tuck-in or throw open the patio doors to enjoy your meal out on the lush rear garden. As day draws to night, discover the family bathroom, where you can melt your worries away in the tub or rinse off under the rainfall shower. When sleep calls, either rest your head in the ground-floor double or climb the stairs for an additional double and twin bedroom, with TVs for a movie night beneath the covers. Explore your rural location on foot or bike and why not pack a bucket or spade to visit Dinas Dinlle Beach for a sea-breeze? A scenic drive will lead you into the heart of Caernarforn, home to a great selection of bars, shops, and restaurants, as well as the ancient Caernarfon Castle to immerse yourself in the past. Venture further afield to see more of what North Wales has to offer with a visit to the quaint village of Llanberis, home to a unique art gallery, a dramatic waterfall, and Snowdon Honey Farm & Winery to stock up on treats. For a memorable escape with your family, consider Bryn Derw.

Sleep quality was good. We had experienced a problem from numerous house flies (end of Nov, cold weather) - there were over 12 flies when we arrived and it continued until the last few days. Initially felt we were being fobbed off with the response which was unfortunate, solutions offered of fog bomb but then retracted. We were offered an alternative place to stay which was not convenient for our ongoing plans and we had paid more for this accommodation than the one being offered. We donât really expect to be moved after we have paid for and chosen a property for the holiday planned. This matter resolved towards the end of the holiday but I do suspect this issue would have been known prior to our arrival ⦠and the initial response was a source of irritation. We would describe the property as being domestically cleaned as opposed to a professional standard ie: staying at a relatives home as opposed to a property paid for. Skirting boards, floors, cupboards ⦠quite heavy set dust. On the table legs the dust was so thick and black it was quite a disappointment. In the kitchen the cupboards are a little bit overstocked with plates, cups and glasses. This leaves little space for storing food as a self catered accommodation so we had to store quite a few items on the countertops. The upper rooms are also quite cold, the heating here is not so efficient. Some of the aerial TV stations we tried to watch during the evening times also did not work, the feed was scrambled (approx 9-10 main channels). Sadly with all things considered we would not stay again or recommend it as it didnât meet our expectations.

Situated in a great position for visiting the delights of North Wales and Anglesey. The Welsh cakes and Barabrith were delicious and I would recommend this cottage.
