Delfryn

The Nantlle Valley forms the backdrop to Delfryn, a former quarryman's cottage with direct access to countryside on foot. Caernarvon lies 8 miles south, Dinas Dinlle beach a short drive away across open farmland. This corner of Gwynedd puts you within striking distance of Snowdon's approach routes and the wider Snowdonia landscape, while the Lyn Peninsula beaches and Anglesey are equally accessible for a day out.

The cottage sleeps 5 across three bedrooms: a double on the first floor, a single on the ground floor with its own toilet, and a bunk room suitable for children. One bathroom with a walk-in shower serves the upper storey. Downstairs holds a living room with television and wood-burning stove, plus a kitchen with a gas hob and electric oven for cooking proper meals. An enclosed courtyard garden and front sitting area provide outdoor space. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all provided; one dog can stay free of charge.

The property works for families, couples and groups wanting a base rather than a destination in itself. Eight steps lead to the entrance. Arrival is after 15:00, departure before 10:00. No smoking indoors.
