About this property

This Georgian terraced townhouse, stands in an attractive cobbled street within the castle walls, and is close to Caernarfon Castle and the town square. This spacious property provides a great base and is ideal for friends and families wishing to explore this wonderful area of Wales. Set over three floors, this cottage features four lovely bedrooms, including two king-size double rooms on the lower ground and first floors, and two twin bedded rooms on the ground floor and first floors. The lower ground level offers a well-equipped kitchen with a beech block worktop, a handy utility, shower room and a spacious dining room, where you can all sit together and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals or play on the many board games available. The ground floor sitting room has a lovely bay window, Smart TV and a warming woodburning stove; curl up together and relax with a film or box set on Netflix. Outside, an enclosed courtyard area offers a nice place to sit and enjoy a chilled glass of something in the evening or an early morning cuppa. Just a short walk away from the cottage is the majestic Caernarfon Castle, well worth a visit, and the harbour is a great place for many locals and holidaymakers wishing to spend the day angling or crabbing. The Welsh Highland & Ffestiniog steam railway has a station here and is well worth putting a day to one side to travel the two hours, through some breathtaking scenery to the harbour town of Porthmadog; a shorter trip takes you to Beddgelert, where you can visit the grave of Gelert, the faithful hound of legend and explore the village that was the inspiration for the adventures of Rupert Bear. Within fifteen minutes’ drive you will find the foothills of Snowdonia, from here you can access footpaths to the very summit of Mount Snowdon, or a mountain railway offers the chance to travel in comfort from nearby Llanberis. Anglesey is a short distance away and the Menai Strait provides a variety of water activities from RIB rides to dinghy sailing. This is a great cottage to base yourselves and is perfect for discovering the delights and wonders of North Wales.

Caernarfon is a popular tourist spot with its impressive 13th Century castle, well preserved town walls and delightful water front. There is also a station for the Welsh Highland Railway, which passes through dramatic scenery, the village of Beddgelert and onto Porthmadog. Fishing trips are available from the harbour along with a wide selection of shops and places to eat. Close by is the Isle of Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula as well as the mountains and rivers of Snowdonia, including the renowned mountaineering town of Llanberis at the foot of Mount Snowdon.
