About this property
Penygroes 2 miles. Perched in Nasareth near the peaceful village of Penygroes, Gwynedd on the fringes of the Snowdonia National Park, discover this fabulous single-storey holiday home, Tan Y Coed. Benefitting from all ground-floor accommodation, off-road parking and EV charging, pet-friendly living, and contemporary décor throughout, Tan Y Coed welcomes up to four guests to enjoy the ultimate escape to North Wales. Cross the threshold into your home-from-home to be impressed by a light and airy open-plan living space, adorned with a well-equipped kitchen, intimate dining and sitting area with woodburning stove, the social hub of the home where you and your loved ones can prepare, cook, and savour mealtimes altogether. If the weather permits, move outside to the private patio to delight in an alfresco affair and delight in a favourite tipple as you soak in your lovely surroundings; during cooler months you also have the added convenience of a summer house where you can plan for the exciting days ahead. When the evening draws to a close, wash away the day in the sleek bathroom or opt for a neatly-presented double with its own handy en-suite facilities, to complete your evening routine; an additional twin bedroom provides a charming spot to unwind. In the morning, venture into Penygroes where your nearest conveniences can be found, including a shop and a charming pub, ideal for stocking up on the self-catering essentials or treating loved ones to some hearty fare on the days you don’t feel like cooking! Traversing the Snowdonia National Park, uncover a whole host of hidden gems including Beddgelert Forest, Dolbadarn Castle, Yr Wydffa (Snowdon) and Glyder Fawr, in addition to plenty of walking and cycling opportunities. In Caernarfon, tour the imposing ruins of the 13th century Caernarfon Castle, or explore Garth Pier and Bangor Promenade before delighting in dinner and drinks in one of several bars, pubs and restaurants in the bustling city of Bangor. However you choose to fill your days in North Wales, do it from the splendid base of Tan Y Coed.
The charming, peaceful community of Penygroes is just six miles from Caernarfon, a historic castle town, and it borders the Snowdonia National Park, where great treks and mountain vistas are easily accessible. The hamlet has a nice assortment of stores, cafes, and bars, and the surrounding area is full with restaurants and recreational opportunities like golfing, swimming, tennis, surfing, and horseback riding, to mention a few. The Gun Room restaurant is located at the nearby Plas Dinas Country House, which is also the site of some fascinating history. The beaches on Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula may be reached in about 30 minutes, while Dinas Dinlle's beach is only 10 minutes away by car. Caernarfon Castle, which is located nearby and is well worth a visit, offers additional shops and eateries in addition to steam train excursions. Another nearby location that was a setting for the television show "The Prisoner" is Portmeirion. The Welsh Heritage Center, which features a licenced cafe at Nant Nwrtheyrn with stunning sea views from its outdoor dining area, is only 8 miles distant. Beddgelert is a charming community with a wonderful arts and crafts store, a number of pubs, and is encircled by the stunning Snowdonia National Park. If you're in the region, it's well worth a trip.

A perfect location to allow quick access to Criccieth and Porthmadog. We loved walking into the mountains from the cottage and made this a daily routine. The cottage is fabulous with everything we needed, EV charging, fast wifi, clean, warm, comfortable - we loved it, and will be back!

and a carpenter was sent out to fix it. The other singe bed mattress was very uncomfortable and it felt like bars running through it. We wondered whether it should have had a topper on? The duvet on the double bed smelled a bit like as if a wet dog had been lying on it. Only one tea towel, we met the handyman and he gave us 2 more. Also only 1 bath towel per person. We complained but no more were brought to us. Otherwise the place was clean and plenty of hot water.
