After removing a chilled bottle of wine from the wine cooler, settle down to tuck-in to your feast at the dining table for 10, as you discuss plans for the days ahead. If the weather is nice, why not make dinner an alfresco affair, and fire up the barbecue in the large, lawned garden? As the evening grows dark, curl up on the plush sofas with reclining feature and relax in front of your favourite film on the Smart TV with Freeview, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby. Awake from a restful night and rustle up morning coffee ready to enjoy on the private balcony as you savour the fabulous country views on offer, followed by a walk through the shared grounds. Explore the local village where you will find the welcoming Pant yr Ardd pub, where you can treat your guests to a selection of tasty food and local ales, ideal for those evenings where you don’t feel like cooking! Bethesda rests nearby and offers further dining options, including a takeaway and a well-stocked supermarket for picking up any last-minute essentials. Outdoor enthusiast will delight at the easy access to Zip World Penrhyn Quarry, where you can see the sights in a truly unique way whilst zooming down the 500-ft high zip line! Take the drive over to the charming village of Llanberis, which lies at the foot of the famous Snowdon peak and is home to the National Slate Museum and Electric Mountain where you can venture underground and tour the hidden power station from the depths, take advantage of the excellent watersports opportunities available on the Llyn Padarn, including paddleboarding and kayaking, explore the UNESCO Heritage Site of Dinorwig Quarry, or kick-back and relax as you enjoy a scenic ride aboard the Llanberis Lake Railway. Those who are feeling brave can embark up the magnificent 3,560-ft Snowdon Peak, whilst if you’re wanting the views but don’t fancy the climb, the Snowdon Mountain Railway offers panoramic views on its journey to the top. From here you can visit the historic Caernarfon, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Caernarfon Castle overlooking the Menai Straits, or the beautiful Ise of Anglesey where you can enjoy the delights of Anglesey Sea Zoo.

For a day at the beach, make the trip to the town of Llandudno, which offers beautiful sandy beaches with traditional donkey rides for the little ones, a Victorian Pier, walks up the Great Orme, seal spotting at Angel Bay and live performances at Theatr Cymru. For a getaway to North Wales like no other, choose Craigfa Cottage.

Bethesda is a tiny town in North Wales, situated on the banks of the Ogwen River. While Bethesda, located on the A5, previously served as a bustling slate quarry town, it is now home to a variety of stores and services, including a number of chapels and bars. Snowdonia's stunning mountain environment abuts Bethesda, and the Lôn Las Ogwen pathways for bicycling and trekking cut through it. Visit Zip World in Bethesda, which boasts Europe's fastest and longest zip line, if you're feeling really daring.

    We were there for 3 nights in August and the entire family loved it and are desperate to go back! It was extremely spacious and clean and plenty to keep kids entertained. Garden is huge and even has swings and slides in! Had a clean cot and highchair for the baby and very thoughtfully even a stair gate. The owner was lovely although we only met Dave as we were leaving. We already recommended it to others and hope to come back ourselves. Thanx a lot, Zev and Rachel

    really happy to help us with any issues we had (of which there we none).Lovely quiet area.

  • Rachel

    It was great for a group of friends with lots of little things that made it great like blankets. We couldn't seem to locate the Amazon fire stick that linked to the remote so were unable to use the smart TV and couldn't see a pan for the brush to clean up some glass. We also found the check out at 10am way too early when you were expected to strip the beds and put all clean pots away. (Just a note I think the en suite needs some drain unblocker in it as the water struggled to go down) Overall we'd definitely stay again. Thank you.
