About this property
Caernarfon 5.6 miles. Nestled in the Eryri National Park in the rural village of Betws Garmon, is this farm-style home, Ty Coch. This five-bedroom property is on a working farm surrounded by rolling hills and offers a games room, making this an excellent base for both families and friends. Step inside the stone-fronted home and discover the kitchen/diner, well-equipped with everything you need for a self-catered stay with a rangemaster electric cooker for baking. Gather at the country-style dining table to favour mealtimes together or if the sun is shining, why not make dinner an alfresco affair in the enclosed garden? Sit back and relax as you admire the views of the unspoilt landscape; afterwards retire to the sitting room and keep warm next to the woodburning stove. The young ones can escape to either the snug room with a TV or the external games room, with a pool table, huge Connect 4 and darts. As the evening draws to a close, the ground-floor offers a twin bedroom, serviced by a shower room or venture upstairs to find two double rooms and two single bedrooms, all with ample storage. Awaken with a cup of tea in the conservatory to soak up the morning sunshine before embarking on a rural ramble from the foot of the door. Ty Coch is a superb base for avid walkers with its National Park setting and for your amenities, a short drive will lead you to the town of Caernarfon, which offers a great selection of traditional pubs, quirky shops, and cafes. Caernarfon is a historic town in Wales with plenty of things to see and do. The main attraction is Caernarfon Castle, a medieval castle, and the town walls, or you can visit the village of Llanberis and enjoy a steam train between the mountains. The bustling town of Bangor is home to many historical attractions, including the Beaumaris Castle, National Trust - Penrhyn Castle and Garden, and the Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens. For a countryside retreat like no other, choose Ty Coch.
Caernarfon (Gwynedd county town) is important to North Wales' history and culture. Its 13th-century castle, well-preserved town walls, and water front are popular tourist attractions. During the season, there are castle tours and pageants. The Welsh Highland Railway passes through Beddgelert and Porthmadog. Segontium, a Roman fort and museum, is walkable from the town centre and offers fishing trips. Caernarfon has many shops and restaurants and is close to the Isle of Anglesey, the Lleyn Peninsula, and the mountains and rivers of Snowdonia, including Llanberis at the foot of Mount Snowdon.

Kitchen excellent and well-supplied with equipment. Once cooker switched on at the wall, needs manual button on programmer pressed for main oven to work. Very comfortable and warm (especially as December weather so mild) especially in days of heavy rain and wind. Only suggestion: hooks on backs of bathroom doors for hanging clean, dry items. Games room is very good for younger family members. Would recommend for location and quality.

The property is located in a fantastic location with wonderful views of the Snowdonia mountains, and being within a working farm, there were lots of sheep in the surrounding fields. The cottage is large and spacious with a lot of mod cons and we had a very peaceful & relaxing time. Some aspects however that I felt needed attention included: 1) while a delightful welcome pack was provided, I felt some basic things such as kitchen rolls, salt/pepper etc. were not available and we had to go out almost immediately after we checked in to purchase these, 2) the property only has 2 bathrooms/toilets and while this was not a problem for us as we were a small group, I imagine it would be more difficult to manage for a larger group of people (something to bear in mind), 3) while the property had been cleaned to a decent standard overall, we could see cobwebs in some places, 4) It is useful to note that access to the property is via a severely potholed and winding road which runs for about 0.75 mile or so through a disused quarry, and is quite difficult to drive through after dark. I think it would be worthwhile pointing this out in the property description. Overall, a nice holiday but slightly let down by the points noted above.
