Llanrug 1.5 miles. This quirky cottage is a traditional wonder, tucked away on a narrow country lane and featuring white and black paintwork giving the property an olde worlde aura, the perfect escape away from the modern of the 21st century. This delightful detached property elevated and is perfect for a family trip away from the usual hustle and bustle of a city centre, it’s the ideal escape for tranquillity and relaxation with your loved ones. The first thing you will come across as you enter the property is the large living area, equipped with an open fire and spacious seating, it’s a wonderful place to spend winter evenings cuddled up with a hot chocolate as you watch the snow fall down over the hills of Anglesey. Alternatively, this property is also great for a summer break, with brilliant walking routes and close to Snowdonia National Park, it’s great for avid walkers or those wanting to explore the countryside of Wales. The kitchen in the property is modest but perfect for preparing a meal for you to enjoy with the family in the separate dining room, each room offering its own magnificent views of Wales, it’s easy to lose track of time whilst nature spotting from any of the rooms in the cottage, promising a range of biodiversity, be sure to look out for the weird and wonderful European polecat. Upstairs are three bedrooms which can host the whole family, from grandparents to grandchildren, the property hosts an array of sleeping arrangements, so that each member of the family gets a restful night’s sleep in a room that is suitable for them, particularly the children’s room which hosts dark wood-framed bunk beds, you’ll have no problem getting the kids into bed with this. Outside is an partially-enclosed area, safe for both the kids and the dogs to run around on a warm summer’s morning whilst you relax on the decking with a coffee, or to make snow angels in the evening before rushing up for a hot bath. The local area is great for exploration, with Bryn Bras Castle just 0.5 miles away to enrich yourself with history and carry on the traditional feel of the trip, and the glacial Llyn Padarn lake close by, offering panoramic views and woodland walks, there’s no better way to relax and unwind surrounded by stunning views in every corner of the village. If you feel like venturing out further one day to explore more of the magnificent views of Wales, we recommend taking a trip to Portmerion, a quaint and quirky village designed in the style of an Italian village, take an architectural wander to the waterfront and get a bite to eat in one of the many attires scattered about the weird and wonderful scenic lands, be sure to check out its own festival, ‘No.6’ if you’re here in the sunnier month of September, hosting a mix, from music to art, it’s an experience like no other. Bryn Tirion is a marvellous property for the whole family to enjoy, with lots to do and see both in the local area and further out in Wales, you’re in for an action-packed holiday with plenty of opportunities to unwind.
Llanrug is a small village with two pubs, two shops, a Post Office, a hotel with indoor swimming pool and fitness room, and a 9 hole golf course is nearby. The village is situated in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, only 3 miles from famous Llanberis. Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris, and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. Llanberis is something of a 'mecca' for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdonia Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Llanberis boasts excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 4 miles from Llanrug, on the coast, is Caernarfon with its magnificent 13th century castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd and many wonderful beaches.

We didnât find the road to be a problem, and the parking was also fine (room to turn around for our normal-sized car). However, there were lots of niggles. ⢠We arrived to a cold house (and the strip blinds on the windows didnât help to keep the cold out). The storage heaters were all turned off, and they took a whole day to start giving out heat. It was difficult to understand how they worked, and we had to turn the bedroom ones off because they came on at night. ⢠There was no welcome pack or written information/instructions for anything in the house. ⢠The reed diffusers in the bedroom were furry with grey mould. One of the bedrooms also smelled of damp. ⢠The soft furnishings smelled unpleasant; the cushions need washing and the sofa and armchair need a deep clean. ⢠The double beds were saggy and uncomfortable. They both had mattress-toppers, but that didnât help with the sagginess or the noise made whenever we moved; we ended up sleeping in separate rooms. ⢠Two of the four bedside lamps didnât work, and one of the working ones was constantly flickering. ⢠There was somebodyâs leftover mouldy coffee in the coffee machine, and a dog-ball behind the armchair â which suggested that the cleaning wasnât very thorough. Overall I felt the place was sadly neglected and, as an earlier reviewer commented, unloved.

We had a comfortable stay but looking a bit tired, could do with a bit of TLC! Damp patch in living room could easily be painted over. Grass very long, desperately needed cutting.
Mathilde
The location is perfect to discover the Wales (Snowdonia off the LlÅ·n peninsula). We miss a washmachine (for the regio, it should be usefull). For the rest, we had all what we need. For me the narrow lane was terrific but my man had no problem with that.
