Dinas Dinlle is a fantastic coastal town known for its family-friendly activities and watersports (mostly wind and kite surfing) on its long, sandy Blue Flag beach. On a National Trust property near the beach, there is an Iron Age hill fort and Roman ruins. The modest Caernarfon Aerodrome is located at the beach's far end and is ideal for leisure flights or an afternoon at the Airworld Aviation Museum. Dinas Dinlle is close to Llandwrog, a charming Welsh hamlet, and Glynllifon Country Park, a Green Flag winner and one of Wales' best-kept secrets. Glynllifon Park was previously Lord Newborough's private park and is now a recognised S.S.S.I. with Victorian follies, streams, fountains, beautiful tree walks, craft shops, and The Glynllifon Mansion. Nearby, mediaeval Caernarfon, with its beautiful 13th-century castle and well-preserved town walls, is a popular tourist destination. There's also a station for the Welsh Highland Railway, which runs through some spectacular landscape. Caernarfon has several shops and restaurants, as well as a golf course, and is close to the beautiful beaches of Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula, as well as the mountains and rivers of the Snowdonia National Park.

Spotlessly clean and everything we needed was provided. The views from the cottage are amazing and the hot tub was a fantastic way to end each day. A really lovely relaxing week. Already planning our next visit

Fantastic views! The flat had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and was very clean. The bathroom is modern and was very clean. Plenty of towels. The roof in the living room leaked when it rained not only during the storm. The carpet in the dining area is in need of cleaning/replacing The hot tub was great especially at night with clear skies. Temperature was controlled by the owner and it was on the cool side. Both the double mattresses are in need of replacing. It was lovely to hear the sea at night when going to sleep and on waking! The steps up to the flat can be slippy when wet and need grip plates on them. We had a great time with local walks and time on the beach/painting from the patio. Caernarfon airport is great for lunch or coffee. Airport museum good to!

Lovely setting right on the beach. The hot tub is also a great feature. Just a shame many of the local amenities were closed for the season.
