    “We have visited this cottage in February/March for the last four years and for us it perfect.”

    Close to the mountains and the sea with easy access to both. We have always been fortunate to have good weather but the cottage is a lovely, quiet place to relax in the evening or should the weather prove an issue. The cottage is always presented and maintained immaculately and shows no signs of wear and tear over the time we have been coming. A spacious bathroom with a separate "proper" powerful shower and large freestanding bath . The kitchen has all usual equipment/appliances and a ...

    Close to the mountains and the sea with easy access to both. We have always been fortunate to have good weather but the cottage is a lovely, quiet place to relax in the evening or should the weather prove an issue. The cottage is always presented and maintained immaculately and shows no signs of wear and tear over the time we have been coming. A spacious bathroom with a separate "proper" powerful shower and large freestanding bath . The kitchen has all usual equipment/appliances and a large freestanding fridge; the utility room has a separate washing machine and tumble dryer.The ESSE woodturner provides a welcoming focal point to the open plan living area. The bedrooms are light and airy with comfortable beds. We would not consider staying anywhere else in Snowdonia. Thankyou again Fiona. This review was written by Benny the Ball

The property

Deiniolen 1.8 miles.

Resting in an idyllic position surrounded by the beauty of the countryside, is the stunning detached barn conversion; Rhydau Cottage.

Ideal for a couple's retreat exploring the wonder of Snowdonia National Park and with views of the mountain itself, this property is perfect for those seeking a rural base in easy reach of many of the gems that this area of Wales has to offer.

Step inside to discover a characterful open-plan living space, with rustic wooden beams and contemporary-styled furnishings, this room makes a delightful social hub for your holiday.

The kitchen area offers a good range of appliances to assist you in all of your culinary requirements, including an integrated electric oven and microwave, a gas hob and a large fridge, the chef of the group will have no trouble in rustling up a tasty treat, for all to enjoy together around the dining table over a well-deserved glass of wine.

Unwind into your evening in the sitting area, with the woodburning stove providing a welcoming warmth in the winter months, here you can enjoy a relaxing evening with a film from Netflix on the Smart TV, or make a plan of action for your fun-filled days ahead.

When the evening draws to a close, choose from a ground-floor double or a first-floor double, both oozing contemporary style and a snug spot to rest after a tiresome day.

Begin your days on the patio area outside, with your morning coffee in hand to energise you for a day of adventure; begin your journey in the local village of Pentir, where you can walk along the Afon Cegin before stopping at The Vaynol Arms for a bite to eat after a leisurely stroll.

Head further afield into Deiniolen, where you can find more pubs and a shop to cater for all of your self-catering needs, or venture into the nearby royal town of Caernarfon offering a wider array of attractions including historical landmarks and a delightful dock to explore.

In easy reach of the natural beauty of Snowdonia National Park and the history-enriched Isle of Anglesey, Rhydau is a delightful base for your getaway to explore this enchanting area of Wales.

About the location

DEINIOLEN

Llanberis 4 miles; Caernarfon 8 miles; Bangor 8 miles.

The village of Deiniolen, housing a village pub and shop, is 4 miles north of Llanberis, on the border of the Snowdonia National Park, making it an ideal base to explore the National Park. The Llanberis Railway runs nearby along the banks of Lake Padarn, whilst the ruins of Dolbadarn Castle are 2 miles away, or visit Ceunant Mawr, a cascading waterfall just outside Llanberis. Local walks lead to the Marchlyn Mawr Reservoir on the northern slopes of Elidir Fawr. Llanberis is 4 miles away and is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. In fact, Llanberis is something of a “mecca” for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Each year, major racing events attract thousands to the area: The fast Snowdon Race to the summit, held in July every year and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26 mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. Within Llanberis itself there are excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. On the coast is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd.
