“The cottage is fabulous.”

Really well looked after and has everything you need. However, the access road to the cottage and parking space was too narrow for my vehicle to turn into.

“Comfortable.”

Good location to visit nearby Wales scenery. However, the entrance of Britannia Street is too narrow and have a sharp right angle turning, skilled driving is required.

Wow. What a hidden Gem! My family and I had a lovely stay. Vibrantly decorated which compliments the space, sauna is a great touch, and the outdoor space was just perfect.

Candice September 2023

“Absolutely fantastic stay.”

Great communication and friendly hosts. The directions were very helpful too. The house was spotless and comfortable, and being able to use the safety gate for our newly cruising infant was a God send. Fantastic location, quiet and neighbours were also friendly. Honestly, could not fault a single thing. We loved our time here.

- Candice, September 2023
Sheila September 2023

“We had a great week, the property is very comfortable and is in a quiet and relaxing location, away from the crowded parts of Snowdonia.”

The view from the front door is fabulous. The only improvement we would suggest relate to small things - i.e. a non-slip mat for the bath, some new pans, a larger and more modern microwave, and some extra supplies of cleaning materials in the kitchen. Aside from the above suggestions, I would thoroughly recommend the property, especially for anyone wanting a quiet place to stay and from where to enjoy Snowdonia and N. Wales, but away from all the busier locations.

- Sheila, September 2023
Paul September 2023

“Having used Sykes cottages for many years I can say without doubt this is the best cottage I have stayed in to date.”

Beautifully decorated,very comfortable all amenities good although try as we might we could not ignite the hob rings but nothing a match wouldn't sort. Nice to be able to relax in the back yard and have friendly chat with chap next door,I tried to do some tidying in garden and if there was a trowel n gloves would have dug brambles up that were overrunning other plants. We were so lucky with a fantastic weeks weather and nice to know we were returning to comfortable digs every night.

- Paul, September 2023

We wanted to explore the area and have somewhere to settle in the evenings. This cottage is so comfortable that we loved staying there.

“Amazing week at this cottage.”

Needed a getaway after all the craziness of the previous 6 months. What can I say. Very well decorated and equipped. Garden is a perfect suntrap and after a day on the mountains you can just chill with an alcoholic beverage and admire the views. My wife and I fully enjoyed our stay and will be back. Ideally located to get into the mountains or if you fancy going to Anglesey etc. Owners very helpful and provide good communication for arrival. This property is a credit to them. Thanks.

Vanessa August 2020

“Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings Very comfortable and warm If I am ...”

Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings Very comfortable and warm If I am going to find a negative it’s just the access road to the cottage which is extremely narrow Anyone with a larger vehicle would probably not get round the corner I think this should be made clearer on the description of the cottage But overall a very pleasant stay x

- Vanessa, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback and I am glad you enjoyed your stay. The owners do have large vehicles themselves but acknowledge the turn can be a bit tight for those perhaps not used to it so we have added a note to this effect. Thanks again for your comments. Property Owner
Jayne August 2020

“Its an excellent location for both Anglesey and Snowdonia.”

The cottage is bigger than it looks on the photos, and really comfortable. It has lovely views and a play ground close by - handy if you have kids. The hosts were great, there if you needed them but not intrusive. Would definitely go back!

- Jayne, August 2020

Andy June 2019

“A great place to stay with everything you need provided.”

Clearly a lot of effort has gone into getting things just right and the little gifts on arrival were much appreciated. The location was great (although it takes a little getting use to to turn the narrow corner on the road down to the cottage) and it is close enough to Bangor to be able to pop in and out without issue. We will be back to stay again.

- Andy, June 2019

- Teresa, May 2019
Nicola April 2019

“An fantastic cottage in a brilliant location for exploring the local region.”

Situated at the end of a lane the property offers views over the stunning Welsh landscape. As a family of 4 we had more than enough room also the cottage was well equipped for dining and relaxing. 2 Ysholdy is perfect for a quiet retreat, but also great for local walks, the unspoilt beaches of Anglesey and local towns and cities. The property was spotlessly clean and the hosts were incredibly helpful. I would defiantly recommend a visit.

- Nicola, April 2019
Catia January 2019

“A very comfy and pleasant cottage.”

Very well presented, very clean and very comfortable. The owners are very lovely and always ready to help. Had to extend my stay due to professional reasons, and the owners were very helpful answering to messages promptly and providing flexible solutions. I will be sure to book again if I return to the area.

It was clean, cosy, had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. It was a home from home. A nice touch was the bottle of Prosecco and Welsh Cakes left for us to enjoy. Would definitely book this modern, well furnished cottage again.

- Maureen, September 2018

Kim July 2018

“Having never booked a holiday cottage before I wasn't entirely sure whether it would be as good as it stated but I have to say, I was most impressed.”

The listing was accurate and honest and the accommodation was even better than the photos implied! I was a bit unsure of the location at the time of booking as we were arriving by train to Bangor station and I was concerned whether we'd be limited as to where we could go but I was pleasantly surprised as there was a regular bus service that was exceptionally reliable. That said, I would take a car next time as we would have liked to explored more rural areas than we were able to but we had no problems in reaching the seaside towns of Llandudno and Colwyn Bay as well as getting to Canaerfon to pick up the West Highland Railway which took us through Snowdonia which was absolutely beautiful.

Upstairs, are two wonderfully coordinated bedrooms, beautifully dressed with fresh elevating colourways, complementing wood furniture.

About the location

BETHESDA

Bangor 6 miles; Caernarfon 10 miles.

Bethesda is a small town settled beside the River Ogwen in North Wales. Situated on the A5 between Bangor and the Snowdonia National Park, Bethesda was once a busy slate quarrying town and nowadays offers a good selection of shops and other amenities, in particular a number of chapels and pubs. The beautiful mountainous scenery of Snowdonia borders Bethesda, with the Lôn Las Ogwen cycling and walking paths skirting past. For the more adventurous, why not visit Zip World in Bethesda which is known for having Europe’s fastest and longest zip line. Capel Curig, just ten miles away, is a popular centre for walking, climbing and mountain biking, whilst Llanberis is situated at the foot of Mount Snowdon and is home to the Snowdon Mountain Railway and the National Slate Museum. Cwm Idwal is also a wonderful spot to visit, situated in northern Snowdonia – Darwin came to study the area and found tiny fossils of oceanic plant life and sea creatures in the boulders and rocks. The coastal town of Caernarfon is just a short drive away as is the beautiful Isle of Anglesey and the Anglesey Coastal Path. Visitors to the area can also explore the castles of Caernarfon and Beaumaris and the NT stately homes of Penrhyn Castle and Plas Newydd Country House and Gardens. Spend the day at one of the many traditional seaside resorts, or discover the isolated, hidden beaches on Anglesey, much of which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With spectacular scenery on the doorstep, wonderful wildlife with buzzards soaring overhead and the occasional Peregrine Falcon to be seen, and many exciting outdoor adventures to discover nearby, Bethesda is superbly located for enjoying both the coast and the countryside of stunning North Wales.
