If you can tear yourself away, why not head to the royal town of Caernarfon for the day and visit the most famous castle in Wales.

Other attractions include Welsh Highland Railway (which runs for 25 miles to Porthmadog), Segontium Roman Fort and the scenic Lôn Eifion recreational cycle route.

When you've had enough of sightseeing enjoy a meal and a refreshing drink at one of the many restaurants or cafes like the Wal Restaurant or The Old Courthouse. There are also numerous walking opportunities in the area and a short car ride will take you to Llanberis at the foot of Mount Snowdon, where you can walk around Llyn Padarn Lake or take one of the six classic routes up to the summit of Snowdon itself if you're feeling more energetic. Enjoy a tranquil boat trip on the lake or take a ride on Llanberis Lake Railway, a treat for all steam train enthusiasts. Ty Gwair is ideally placed for discovering all of Snowdonia and the Isle of Anglesey has to offer, with miles of wonderful coastline and countryside. This really is a mecca for walkers and mountain bikers with the added bonus of a pub a short drive away.

The cottage was amazing, with everything we needed. The views were beautiful, especially from upstairs. Kathie and Mark, the owners, were lovely and very welcoming. The location was great too. We have already booked for next year!
