“This cottage was exactly what we needed.”

Clean, tidy and the host made us very welcome. Tea, coffee, milk and even a special treat of shortbread was laid on for us on arrival. Very nice towels. The ideal place for 2 or even 4 if you are thinking of visiting North Wales

Elizabeth September 2023

“Spotlessly clean and all the facilities anyone would need, and more.”

Loved the decor. A very good welcome pack. The bed was comfortable but a bit cramped to get in and out of on one side. We are an elderly couple and hence the lounge settee and chairs were too low for comfort and they were hard after a time. Hence we needed to double up on the settee cushions to sit one person comfortably and then all the scatter cushions were used on one chair to make the other comfortable seat.

- Elizabeth, September 2023

Glad you found the cottage clean and that you enjoyed the welcome pack. A pity you didn't mention the need for extra cushions as I would have been able to find you some. Nice meeting you both All the best In Property Owner

Ian April 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Bwlch Yr Awel Cottage.”

It was a very quiet and peaceful location and the cottage was well equipped and comfortable. The owners who live next door popped round to check everything was okay shortly after we arrived, but left us to our own devices for the week. It was nice to see only mountains and some sheep as our view from the back of the house. Although there is a main road to the front of the property we noticed very little noise. All in all an ideal place for a quiet break and I would happily return.

- Ian, April 2023

Thanks for your review, we always like to make sure our guests are comfortable and are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We will be happy to see you should you wish to return All the best Ian and Jill Property Owner

Sam October 2021

“The cottage really was lovely.”

I wasn't expecting it to be so nice inside but it had everything we needed and was really cosy. There was also plenty of free space in cupboards for our food as well as a freezer, some places we have been have only had one tray. Cleaning products were supplied too which were much appreciated. The location was great as it was on the main road, this meant not getting stuck on any smaller one way roads. We could hear a little of the traffic at night but only if we opened the window. We were able to visit Anglesea, Conwy, Caernarfon, Harlech, Porthmadog, lakes and mountains around Snowdonia National Park amd Greenwood's family fun Park which rained most of the day but we still had fun. Lots of waterfalls. We recommend getting Welsh Herritage, especially if you can use your Tesco vouchers as it's then free to visit Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech castles. We have 2 children aged 4 and 7, they both loved everything, the cottage and the places we visited. It rained a LOT of the week but we went out everyday most days 9 till 6 ish. Just take wet trousers and lots of coats and hats and you don't notice. We also got to see rainbows and when the sun did come out the area looks even more spectacular. 100 percent worth it in any weather.

- Sam, October 2021
Zeinab August 2021

Fleur May 2021

“We throughly enjoy our week away staying at this property as our base.”

The holiday cottage is in a perfect position to visit the lovely beaches around the Llyn Peninsula and head inland for walks in Snowdonia National Park. We were lucky enough to have sunshine and amazing sunsets all week. The accommodation is clean, nicely decorated and has everything a family needs for a week away. The owners live next door to the property and were very welcoming and helpful.

- Fleur, May 2021

“The cottage was amazing!”

- Patrick, August 2018
Adrian August 2018

“I've never stayed in a place so very well appointed - we spent all week trying (and failing!”

) to find something the owners hadn't thought of. Was a little worried about the busy road, but it was not like living opposite the M25, and hardly noticed it. As well as a great touring base, I discovered several walks, and there is also a cycle path which I think runs into Caenarfon.

- Adrian, August 2018
R July 2018

“Brilliant holiday cottage and perfect for families.”

Ideally situated for days out as you are not far from other areas. The hosts were lovely and looked after us really well and the corrage has everything you need, even a washing machine. We would definitely book again at the same cottage and will be recommending highly. This holiday has by far exceeded our expectations.

- R, July 2018
David July 2018

“A lovely property, recently refurbished and we went there in a heat wave.”

What is there to not to like? It was an excellent booking. The owners Mr & Mrs Harrington live next door and greeted us on the Saturday and subsequently went to considerable trouble to ensure that everything for our visit was just so.

The property

Penygroes 4 miles.

This delightful single storey, semi-detached cottage, dates back to 1834 and is attached to the owners own home, occupying a roadside position within the little hamlet of Pant Glas, on the fringe of the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales mid way between Porthmadog and Caernarfon.

The cottage is ideal for friends, a family or indeed a couple and provides an excellent base for exploring all North Wales has to offer.

Tastefully furnished to a good standard throughout, you’ll feel welcomed the minute you arrive at this property.

The well-appointed sitting room has comfortable seating and a relaxing atmosphere and a dining area, equally ideal for a family meal together or a leisurely breakfast, both of which can be prepared in the modern, well-equipped kitchen.

Two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin provides flexible sleeping arrangements and memory foam mattresses will ensure a comfortable nights sleep, both serviced by a modern shower room.

There is parking for one car at the front of the cottage and a lovely rear courtyard with seating, providing an ideal place for you to relax and enjoy a glass of something at the end of the day.

Perfectly located for exploring this beautiful area of North Wales, with some wonderful walks on the doorstep and some great cycle routes close by.

Criccieths sandy beaches and ancient castle are seven miles away and the popular resorts of Abersoch and Pwllheli are easily reached, all well worth exploring, with many miles of sandy beach and water sport opportunities.

The Royal town of Caernarfon is ten miles away and well worth a visit, whilst the Isle of Anglesey provides a great day out.

Within driving distance is the Italianate village of Portmeirion, the wonderful Snowdonia National Park, the harbour town of Porthmadog, home of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Steam Railways.

There really is something for everyone in North Wales and Bwlch yr Awel Cottage can be enjoyed at any time of the year and provides an ideal base.
