Property code: OC-WAG432

This home-away-from-home in North Wales boasts stunning mountain views and a sunny, enclosed patio garden. The property sleeps four guests and two pups, and makes a great couples’ retreat or base for a small family. The historic town of Caernarfon and the lively resort of Bangor and within 7 miles, and you’ll also be just 15 miles from a sandy, paw-friendly beach.

The stone barn conversion is arranged across one level and has a plethora of original features, including exposed beams and stonework. The spacious lounge is bright and airy, with plump sofas to relax on and a warming wood burner for the hounds to stretch out besides. The beautiful, country-style kitchen has a stone floor and a characterful beamed ceiling, along with a wooden dining table and everything you need to cater for the group. When it’s time to say goodnight, choose from the pretty double bedroom or the cosy twin. A large family bathroom completes the accommodation. The patio has outdoor furniture and enjoys far-reaching mountain views. The space is fully enclosed, so the woofers can happily potter around.

The idyllic village of Y Felinheli is 3 miles away. Here, you and your four-pawed pals can potter amongst the cute cottages, dine in the independent cafes, or hop on a cruise around the Menai Strait. Bangor (4 miles), the oldest city in Wales, makes a great doggy day out. Stroll along the Victorian pier, browse the cute boutiques and galleries, and enjoy a bite to eat in one of the many quirky, woof-welcoming eateries. Alternatively, spend a day at the seaside at Dinas Dinlle (15 miles), with its vast expanse of golden sand. There’s a seasonal restriction on the main beach, but you’ll still find ample space for Rover and Fido to burn off steam.

The owner is very welcoming and friendly and we were treated to a lovely welcome pack of Bara Brith, Welsh cakes and a nice bottle of wine. Yr Efail is a very comfortable, cosey and well-equipped clean holiday home with comfortable beds. It is private and the location is peaceful with lovely views of the hills and located within a short drive to FeRead morelinheli and a short cycle ride to the coastal cycle path towards Caernarfon or Bangor. It is an ideal location to explore the North Wales countryside, castles, Anglesey, the Llyn peninsula, Bodnant Gardens and much more. We had a thoroughly enjoyable week stay. Hide
