Featuring an enclosed garden, off-road parking and close proximity to the Eryri National Park, Bwthyn Derwin Fawr welcomes five guests, perfect for a family or group of friends seeking a memorable getaway in North Wales. Enter your new home-from-home, ready to kick back and relax in the homely sitting room, clicking on the electric stove and Smart TV to truly make yourself feel at home as your other half gets to grips with a superb range of appliances in the kitchen/diner. Cook up a storm together and settle down at the dining table, ready to tuck into a feast as the wine is poured and conversation flows, exciting to plan your exciting itinerary for the days ahead. If you prefer to dine alfresco, take advantage of the enclosed garden to pop corks until sundown and truly soaking up the countryside air. Retire from the day as you surrender to a long soak or revitalising shower in the sleek bathroom, prior to hunkering down in either a double or triple bedroom, each well-adorned with plenty of storage for all your belongings. In the morning, begin your adventures with a hike along the Rhyd Ddu Path, admiring stunning views over the Eryri Nationa Park and the famous Yr Wyddfa. This really is a superb spot for exploring this amazing part of north Wales, the popular Lon Eifion Walking & Cycle Route (National Cycle Network) is on your doorstep, which starts from the village of Bryncir and ends up at the historic town of Caernarfon. The traffic-free scenic route runs alongside the Welsh Highland Railway and offers wonderful views of Caernarfon Bay and Snowdonia. Further afield, explore the historic Castell Caernarfon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or head to the seaside town of Porthmadog, where you can take a walk along the harbour, visit unique shops or hop on a narrow-gauge steam train on the Ffestiniog Railway. Whatever you choose to do here in Gwynedd, do it from the splendid base of Bwthyn Derwin Fawr.
