“Fantastic views over the village from the living room and front bedroom.”

A lovely warm little cottage much appreciated with some of the stormy weather we had.

“Ceris is a lovely property in a great location for exploring the Welsh coast and Snowdonia.”

The bungalow is clean and comfortable and has been modernised to a high standard. It has the added bonus of beautiful views to the front over the valley and a big garden surrounding it which ensures privacy and peace. We loved it and would hope to return sometime.

- Wendy, September 2024
Isobella September 2024

“A lovely bungalow in a very quiet and peaceful location All the facilities were very good and the house was very clean.”

Great location for accessing local shops and other tourist attractions and would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful place to other couples. We would definitely like to return

- Isobella, September 2024

Thanks for the great review, hope to see you again soon Property Owner

“Amazing property would definitely stay again, only thing was the wasp nest on ...”

Amazing property would definitely stay again, only thing was the wasp nest on the shed so we kept having to get the kids away from there but other than that beautiful home and garden

“This property has everything you require and more, comfortable clean and in a quiet location, the only thing that would definitely be an advantage would be to manage the tree line so the narrow guage trains are more visible, also the lounge would benefit from a larger screen TV.”

Otherwise a brilliant place to stay

- Anthony Graham, May 2024

Thanks for the great feedback we left the hedge for nesting birds in the spring. Hedge has now been cut and train is visible. Property Owner

“A lovely bungalow with beautiful views very peaceful and convenient for travelling around the area.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ceris.

- Christopher, April 2024
Mandy April 2024

“Fabulous location, views to die for train through the back garden amazing.”

Bush outside room window needs chopping down as blocks some of the view, needs more outside seating, slight musty smell in front bedroom but saying all that we would definitely stay again as it's so handy to visit the north of Wales.

- Mandy, April 2024

“Lovely bungalow, loved the decor.”

Everything you could need. So pleased it was dog friendly, my boys loved the garden. Great walks nearby. Friendly neighbours.

Thank you so much for the great feedback Property Owner
Peter September 2023

“1. There was a general lack of cleaning materials to keep the house in a clean and hygienic state, eg no anti-bacterial sprat, inadequate tools for cleaning pans, etc.”

2. The lighting in the lounge and back bedroom was completely inadequate to permit reading anywhere reasonable in the rooms. 3. There was a general lack of hooks anywhere, eg nowhere to hang tea towels to dry in the kitchen (yet plenty of places to provide them, clothes in the bathroom. 4. A lack of cutlery to facilitate efficient use of the dishwasher - 5 knives, 6 forks, 8 tea spoons) - an extra set of cutlery would pay for itself in a few weeks as it would reduce water and electricity use through fewer cycles of the dishwasher.. 5. The kitchen knives need sharpening! (As pointed out in the feedback in the Visitor Book some time ago!) 6. We were unable to return the keys to the key safe, as the bunch simply prevented that safe from being closed - also, I struggled to open the door on the key safe as the spring was so strong - it should be recognised that older people have less strength in their fingers.!) We had to remove the front door key and put that in the safe and leave the rest of the keys in the house. 7. Waste paper baskets in the bedroom would be beneficial. 8. A hook to hold the back door open when the weather is warm would be appreciated. 9. There was no indication as to what to do with food waste - other properties in the area appeared to have food caddies. It is unacceptable to dispose of food and compostable material in general waste in today’s world! 10. The instructions for the TV were completely inadequate - we spent more time trying to select programmes than actually watching them. We offer these as suggestions, not complaints! We have our own holiday cottage in Cumbria and over many years have realised what makes an adequate property somewhere really comfortable and usable.

- Peter, September 2023
Zoe September 2023

“Very clean and comfortable.”

View from the living room is fantastic. Great garden for our greyhound to run round. Only downside was lack of washing machine and a freezer.

- Zoe, September 2023
C L September 2023

“Beautiful location,amazing views.”

Dogs loved it as secure garden.little trains going through at bottom of garden was a bonus.Met the owner was very polite.

- C L, September 2023
Jennifer July 2023

“Ceris is a lovely holiday cottage to stay in.”

Conveniently close to facilities but out of the way enough to be quiet. The welcome pack of tea coffee sugar milk and Welsh cakes was much appreciated. The only one improvement would be a washing machine.

- Jennifer, July 2023
Robert June 2023

“The property was very good.”

The bed linen and towels nice and clean and fresh. Hot water never a problem. Issues with TV which lost its signal but eventually found a solution. When we were there the bins were not collected. The gardens are secure for dogs.

- Robert, June 2023
Carole June 2023

“Very pleasant to stay at this property, with most requirements provided.”

Good shower, comfortable beds and very clean throughout. Welcome Welsh Scones a lovely touch and very tasty. Information folder a little out of date and lacked that personal touch which other property owners leave. Good weather, but no umbrella for the table, so no shade and lacked outdoor seating, as the picnic table is not comfortable or suited to everyone.

- Carole, June 2023
Joanne April 2023

“The garden is great size but it needs a step from the patio down to the grass perhaps with a rail/handle.”

There isn't a washing machine either so take extra for laundrette in Porthmadog. Had a few issues 1st week and although I called Sykes and owner dealt with things but I'm not sure we'd return. The bottom oven door doesn't open all way and you can't move the shelves in oven. However the beach at black rock sands is dog friendly and goes on for miles, the trains running at bottom of garden were good, the neighbour has a horse roaming between one side and other field which runs along bottom of garden there is fencing and bushes inbetween if you have dogs that are reactive.

- Joanne, April 2023
Yvonne March 2023

“Reluctant to review honestly as do not want everyone to be going there.”

We had a great stay. Back garden is now secure so dog able to run free.

- Yvonne, March 2023
David March 2023

“The front bedroom smelt very damp and fusty/musty.”

The back bedroom had a damp patch, in the corner near the window. The showerknob was a bit difficult to pull upwards and water then went every where. Possibly a new shower head required. Other than those issues, we had a very relaxing stay.

- David, March 2023
David October 2022

“The bungalow is very comfortable and well maintained.”

It was also very clean and tidy. Therefore a full five star rating from us.

- David, October 2022
Michael September 2022

“Ceris is a well equipped, spotlessly clean bungalow, with lovely views of the estuary and hills from the front, and occasional steam trains passing to the rear.”

Highly recommended

- Michael, September 2022
S August 2022

“Perfect for a relaxing holiday, it has everything you could possibly need.”

Very well equipped. Good location.

- S, August 2022
Susan June 2022

“Spotlessly clean and comfortable bungalow in a beautiful location.”

We did find the lack of fencing between the front and back of the property a problem with the dog.

- Susan, June 2022
Alwyn May 2022

“The cottage was lovely it was nice to see the train go by and peaceful surroundings.”

The only problem was we found the beds uncomfortable and also had to buy a duvet as I am allergic to feathers. The holiday was lovely.

- Alwyn, May 2022
Geoff May 2022

“Beautiful cottage, very clean and well equipped with all that is needed.”

Very pleased with our week at Ceris, would recommend and already have done so. There was only one down side to the cottage, the rear garden is only 90% fully enclosed for dogs. Not a problem for us, but I think if you had a younger, more inquisitive dog, it could well be off exploring. All in all, a brilliant week, great location with matching views. Many thanks.

- Geoff, May 2022
Philip April 2022

“The cottage is in a pleasant and quiet location, well laid out and with all the facilities you could require.”

The wifi speed and performance was excellent. Visitors should be aware there are some single track, narrow roads on the approach to the cottage from the village. The one niggle was the shower - this was an mixer style tap without a thermostatic value which mean it was difficult to get a comfortable, consistent temperature. The mechanism to select the shower rather than taps was also stiff and difficult to operate.

The property

Nestled in the rolling countryside of the pretty village of Penrhyndeudraeth, on the outskirts of the picturesque Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, is this lovely bungalow of Ceris.

Situated in an elevated position, this bungalow has everything a family of four could need for a delightful break to the heart of Wales.

Boasting far-reaching country views, you will delight in spending your evenings inside, which has been decorated to a high-standard and offers plenty of contemporary furnishings to suit your needs.

Enter the spacious sitting room, boasting a picture window, encompassing those magnificent country views and giving the room an abundance of natural light, leaving you with a welcoming and tranquil feeling the moment you walk through the door.

Here, you can spend your evenings curled up with your loved ones and catching up with your favourite shows on the Smart TV.

Walk through to the open-plan kitchen/diner which has all the appliances you could need to cook up a storm, whilst the dining table is able to fold out and seat up to four people.

With all rooms resting on the ground floor, you will have easy access to two double bedrooms, both of which have a range of contemporary furniture to store your personal items.

The family bathroom has an elegant bath and shower over, so you can choose whether you'd prefer a quick shower in the morning or a relaxing soak in the tub after a tiring day.

Outside boasts a wonderful decking area, where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining with a well-deserved glass of wine, with a delightful lawned garden which backs onto the Ffestiniog Steam Railway, offering tours of this wonderful coastal area.

Spend your afternoons on any one of the nearby sandy beaches at Black Rock Sands Beach and Porthmadog or venture towards the picturesque nature reserve of Gwaith Powdwr, offering plenty of trails for some scenic walking and cycling opportunities.

You are less than nine miles away from the wonderful attraction of Zip World and Bounce Below, where you can unleash your inner thrill-seeker and explore the underground net adventure and tunnels, with exciting zip wires all family members can get involved with.

Ceris provides an exceptional base for those looking to explore this picturesque region of Wales.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
