About this property

Nestled on the hillside in Dinorwig, overlooking Llanberis and near Caernarfon, is this superb, detached traditional Welsh cottage, Pen Y Bwlch. Boasting breath-taking views which look out onto Mount Snowdon and the Dinorwig quarries, which are a World Heritage Site. As well as enjoying a peaceful and rural setting, Pen Y Bwlch makes for an unforgettable dwelling for a group or family of up to six who are looking to explore North Wales. Park-up on the spacious gravel driveway as you unload your bags with ease and marvel at the spectacular views available right on your doorstep. Step into the welcoming sitting room with its eye-catching exposed stone wall and high ceilings with beams, here you can look forward to cosying up on the three-seater sofas in front of the crackling woodburning stove, as you select the evening’s entertainment courtesy of the Smart TV with Sky. As you begin to feel peckish, make your way through to the amply-equipped kitchen, where you can rustle up mouth-watering meals with the help of the electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and microwave, along with a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer for keeping your space tidy. Gather around the dining table to savour a flavoursome meal, or if the weather is nice, why not enjoy your dinner alfresco out in the garden, where you can roll out the dining table on wheels or dine at the lovely picnic bench, guaranteeing dinner with a view and the chance to witness the exceptional sunsets from your prime position. After a day of exploring, soothe your muscles with a blissful soak in the bath, before choosing from one of three well-appointed bedrooms to catch your rest in, a king-size, a further king-size with zip/link and a double bunk with single over, ensuring ample sleeping arrangements for all parties. Awake from a leisurely slumber and meet your guests out in the private garden for morning coffee and captivating views of one of North Wales most famous mountains. Set out for the day and explore the local village of Dinorwig, where you can treat your guests to a fuss-free breakfast at the renowned café, the Lodge Dinorwig, before making your way down the wooded path to the vast Llyn Padarn in Llanberis, a watersports haven, where you can take to the waters by kayak, canoe or paddleboard. If you’re more of a walker, head off to Snowdon, the Glyders, Carneddau or any of the other beautiful mountains in the area, promising incomparable views and great photo opportunities along the way! If you don’t feel like walking but came for the views, hop aboard the Snowdon Mountain Railway where you will still experience panoramic views on your way up, as well as pretty waterfalls and a ruined chapel. There is also the option for a train tour around the lake where you can sit back and relax on a vintage steam train. If you’re looking to delve into history then a visit to the Dinorwic Quarry is a must, a captivating National Heritage site offering a fascinating museum in a Victorian quarry, as well as the nearby ruins of the 13th-century Dolbadarn Castle. The awe-inspiring Isle of Anglesey and North Wales Coast is within easy touring distance, home to an abundance of quaint villages and some of the UK’s top beaches, such as the glorious golden sands of Newborough Beach and the picturesque Red Wharf Bay. There are also the popular attractions of South Stack Lighthouse, Anglesey Sea Zoo and the colourful huts that decorate the shores of Abersoch.
