“Avalon was a comfortable home from home, it had just about everything we needed and was located perfectly for access to all of North Wales and Anglesey.”

- Danielle, July 2024

“It was paradise we sought and paradise we encountered!”

This hidden gem offers such a bolt-hole for weary, city living travellers. Just for a moment we were taken away from our daily concerns and trivial disputes - for when you encounter the awesome splendor of the Snowdonia mountains, all else falls away! We are all inspired by this wondrous beauty. We return a little tired, a lot more refreshed and with a deep respect for Crib Goch! Diolch!

“A lovely place to stay, our second visit and great to come back.”

Immaculate and so well looked after. Very handy for everything, lots to do and see & very homely to come back to after a "hard day" exploring. Everything has been provided too. The power shower and wet room is luxurious and beds comfy. You have thought of everything & a welcome pack too, thank you. Perfect holiday xxx

“Despite the weather at this time of year we had an amazing stay.”

The cottage was comfortable and cosy, with every amenity that we needed. The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are really comfortable. We went to Zipworld and Llanberis, would highly recommend both. We would love to visit again in the summer, thank you and best wishes for 2024!

“Very comfy beds and well equipped kitchen.”

Ideas location for visiting lots of castles and National Trust properties. We loved the visits from the neighbourhood cat! Highly recommend Llanberis for paddleboarding and swimming in Llyn Padarn with surrounding mountains. Absolutely beautiful! P.S. only issues were small and reported to Sykes.

We had a really fabulous time, very comfortable cottage, very well-equipped with everything you would ever need on a holiday.

“We had a lovely stay at Avalon.”

The cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable - a hidden gem! We enjoyed the visits from your beautiful cat. Had excellent breakfast at Ty Golchi, not so good breakfast at the Swellies but lovely there for coffee and cake. The Ribride on the Menai Straits is fantastic. Lunch at Dylan's in Menai Bridge was excellent. Many thanks Joe, we had a fab time.

“Great stay at this lovely cottage.”

Well equipped kitchen, which had everything we needed, including for two young children. The rooms were a good size with plenty of storage. Amazing selection of activities close to the property including boat trips, hikes, lovely beaches and restaurants. The owners are a lovely family who were very accomodating. All the good things....

- Isaac, August 2023
David July 2023

“We visited North Wales on a wet Summer weekend.”

The rain didn't dampen our enjoyment, in part due to staying in a really comfortable cottage. The beds and bedding were super comfy and we enjoyed our stay. The only blip was an Internet problem due to damage to the BT lines. Our hosts pulled out all the stops to make sure we still had access to the Internet. As well as being comfortable and well appointed, Avalon is perfectly situated to explore all the attractions of North Wales.

Christine&Ian Glasgow Jul 2023

“House spotless, well equipped and comfortable.”

Location great for exploring Snowdonia & North Wales Coast. Welcome pack a nice touch & Welsh cakes which were new to us were yummy! Enjoyed our daily visits from the friendly cat and watching the birds at the feeder. Thanks for a great stay.

- Christine&Ian Glasgow, Jul 2023
Sally-Ann Jul 2023

“"Thank you so much for letting us stay in your really lovely house, it really is delightful, immaculate and so well equipped.”

The power shower / wet room was a treat & the milk, coffee & Welsh cakes (my favourite) was thoughtful. This is a great location for everything. Plas Cadnant on Anglesey for a gem, beautiful and well worth a visit, and the mountains, also sunshine, so lucky, and how lucky were we to find this place. We know where you are now and will surely be back. Very comfee beds and settees, most important & will say again 'spotless everywhere'." Many thanks,

- Sally-Ann, Jul 2023

“"When looking for a base for exploring Snowdonia and Anglesey we found this lovely and well equipped cottage which perfectly fulfilled our needs.”

Washing machine and dishwasher were useful tools after a long day out, and so was a decent internet connection for planning new activities. Also the welcome basket was a much appreciated detail and was taken care of shortly after our arrival : ) Overall we really enjoyed the two weeks we spent in this part of Wales! Many thanks!"

Gibson family Sep 2022

“Avalon is a lovely comfy cottage & we have had one of the best holidays here in North Wales.”

The cottage is quiet and a great location to explore and visit nearby towns and attractions. Zipworld (Bounce Below) is a must, Llanberis (lake Padarn) was stunning. There is so much to do around here for families and we can't wait to return one day soon. Loved the friendly cat who my kids named 'kitty soft paws'. Dylan's was great for dinner and the food was delicious. Thank you.

- Gibson family, Sep 2022
Rosie, Nigel, Stuart Sep 2022

“Lovely well equipped, comfortable cottage.”

This was a last minute booking decision, and we were very lucky with the weather while walking the foothills of Snowdon. One day of rain so not bad at all. Thanks.

Mr and Mrs Handley Sep 2022

“"Had a lovely week here and the accomodation was everything with thought it would be, clean and the perfect getaway spot.”

The kitchen was well supplied and the welcome pack much appreciated. On the cooler nights the central heating was an added bonus after being out, it made a very welcoming atmosphere. The location was perfectly situated for day trips to Anglesey, Snowdon and the North Wales coastal towns. For people like us who like to cook it was handy having a large Tesco and cafe nearby for supplies. All in all we had a relaxing, enjoyable time here and would definitely return."

The Mann's Aug 2022

“Avalon is a lovely cottage that is well situated for exploring Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula.”

After a hard day exploring, Avalon is a lovely cottage to come back to and relax on the decking in the sun with a glass of vino or beer and a good book! We met the owners early in our stay more by necessity than chance (but that's another story!). They were very friendly and approachable and made some good recommendations to us. Next doors cat, by-the-way, will come & say hello. It is very friendly and seems to want to sleep a lot. Needless to say, we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Avalon and we were able to see North Wales at it's very best. Who needs to go abroad when you have wall-to-wall sunshine here! Fabulous!

“We've thoroughly enjoyed our week in Avalon, which is a comfortable and relaxing place to stay.”

Although we feel the issue of hanging space needs to be better addressed we have spoken to the very approachable owners and note this will be rectified. The cottage is in a very good location for exploring this stunning part of north wales.

- John and Margaret, May 2022
The Affords May 2022

“We have really enjoyed our week at Avalon.”

“We had an unforgettable stay!”

Seems like everything you've done here matches the surrounding environment & is built with respect towards the stunning and wonderful nature you have here. Looking forward to coming back for another adventurous weekend. Many thanks!

“While finding the Avalon property to be generally clean and comfortable we were somewhat dissatisfied with the facilities considering the cost of the week we spent there.”

Our main points of dissatisfaction were as follows: 1) The kitchen cutlery and utensils were insufficient and the hob temperature was difficult to control for cooking (slow to heat up and then too hot despite turning down). There was a small fridge and a smaller tabletop freezer. 2) The property was not clearly signposted from the narrow lane it is on. 3) The accommodation would be a tight squeeze for a group of five. 4) The second bedroom (double and single bed) smelled of damp or possibly a cat and we had to buy a plug in air freshener. 5)There was no privacy when using the downstairs shower and toilet and no space in the shower room to change. The downstairs shower was the only bathroom in the property although there was an ensuite toilet and sink to the main bedroom and a similar facility downstairs opposite the shower room. 6) The outside decking space is nice to have but of no use in winter months or bad weather. 7) The television was not connected to an aerial so we had no accuse to free to air channels such as BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. It did have Netflix which was welcome but limiting. 8) The electrics in the bedrooms seemed to be extended throughout the spaces by extension sockets. The central heating was very effective and easy to control with HIVE. 9) The WiFi signal was excellent. Because of the issues listed above we felt able to give the property a rating of 6/10.

- Darren, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback Mr Shipman. We're glad to hear you had a comfortable stay, and appreciate your feedback with regard to the facilities. This property has only recently been renovated, and we appreciate any feedback our guests have to give. We love to cook and understand that some of our guests also enjoy cooking their favorite dishes during their stay, and for this reason we've provided a full range of utensils and cooking equipment. While we're disappointed to hear about your experience with the hob, we can confirm it is in full working order. The properties fridge is a standard under counter size, but thank you for your feedback on the tabletop freezer. This was recently installed as we also installed a washing machine in response to guest feedback. We have added additional signage to the property to help our future guests. The wet room and toilets at the property are as advertised and displayed in the properties photographs. We're glad you appreciated the decking area, particularly as you had such exceptionally good weather during your stay. We will look into connecting the property with terrestrial TV in addition to Netflix, and are happy you made use of the excellent WiFi speed and HIVE heating.' Property Owner

“A very enjoyable week at Avalon.”

Accommodation met our expectations and was very comfortable. It is an easy walk to the marina and there is lots to see within a short driving distance. A beautiful part of the country and we would certainly recommend this accommodation.

- Christine, September 2021
Monica July 2021

“It would have been more comfortable if they supplied more than two small toilet roles for 5 people as well as paper towels and/or tea towels.”

These might be things we can easily buy but not having to worry about it once we arrived would have been more comfortable.

The property

Nestled on the outskirts of the village of Y Felinheli, Gwynedd with easy access to the attractions of North Wales, lies this quaint, stone-built annexe, Avalon.

This quality barn conversion has been refurbished into a delightful holiday base for families, promising a charming getaway from your day-to-day routine.

After a day at the beach, kick off your sandy shoes and sink into the sofa, browsing the Smart TV for something good to watch.

Move through to the kitchen, appointed with all the essentials for a self-catered holiday, including an electric oven and hob and dishwasher, whilst windows on all sides provides plenty of natural lighting.

Climb the winding stairs to reach the first floor, where a large landing space provides an area to enjoy board games or a good read.

Settle down within either of the bedrooms; the family room hosts a double and single bed, while there is a king size with en-suite basin and WC, making this an ideal home for families.

There is also a ground-floor wet room where you can enjoy a good rinse before you start your day.

Take a drink outside to the sunny decking, equipped with picnic benches where you can enjoy an afternoon snack or alfresco meal on a balmy evening.

You can pick up your holiday essentials from the shop in Y Felinheli or a few miles further lies a supermarket.

Enjoy the Garddfon Pub on the waterfront in Felinheli, along with lovely cafes around the Marina.

The lively towns of Bangor and Caernarfon are nearby and provide a wealth of shops, places to eat and some beautiful architecture to admire.

Cross the bridge to access the wonderful Isle of Anglesey, where you can visit the vibrant town of Beaumaris on the east coast, or head to the west coast for an afternoon in Trearrdur Bay, home to a stunning sandy beach.

If you are visiting with younger guests, they will be thrilled with the GreenWood Family Park, boasting a wealth of family-friendly activities, located a mere five-minute drive away from Avalon.

If you’re seeking adventure, the Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) provides endless walks and hikes, including routes up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in Wales.

The property also lies on the mainly off road, Lon Las Menai cycle track which runs between Bangor and Caernarfon.

However you choose to fill your time, return each evening to the peace and comfort of Avalon.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
