Property code: OC-WAG712

A lovely Welsh cottage in a rural location at the base of the Carneddau group of mountains, this property is ideal for walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and families with up to two pups looking for an active holiday in North Wales. This cottage is a perfect base for exploring some of North Wales''s most stunning scenery. Top dogs will lead you to the North Wales Path when it’s time to sniff out adventures and you are ready to explore the nearby surroundings.

This welcoming cottage is homey and spacious and retains the charm of its original exposed beams and stone walls in the downstairs living spaces. There are beautiful rural views from most windows. On the ground floor is the living room, where your hounds will race you to the most comfortable spot. There are soft leather sofas to relax on and a wood burner for a cosy atmosphere in the cooler months. The attractive contemporary kitchen and dining area has all the appliances you need to prepare and enjoy home-cooked meals together. A two-seater sofa means the space is sociable and the cooks stay in the conversations during meal preparation. The dining table sits at one end of the kitchen with plenty of natural light and lovely views through the windows. A shower room, two double bedrooms and a bunk room are available on the ground floor. The outside space consists of a large lawned area and a gravelled area with a BBQ and outdoor seating. The beautiful views of the local countryside and across the Menai Strait to Anglesey make this a lovely spot for a drink or to dine alfresco on a fine evening.

The location is perfect to explore the coastline on either side of the Menai Strait. Let your pups lead you on a historic adventure around nearby Penryhn Castle (3.5 miles), and when it’s time for an off-lead run about, head to and hike the mountainous trails weaving through the Gwydyr Forest (15.5 miles). Closer to home are the beautiful Aber Falls (5 miles) and your sea dogs will love the sandy beach at Conwy Morfa (12 miles) which welcomes paw prints all year round.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the cottage, a good location only a few minutes from the main road yet nice and quite, miles of walks right on the doorstep is also very convenient. The cottage is spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipment. The decor in the bathroom and kitchen is looking a bit tired and could do with decorating.

This place is in a brilliant location. Gorgeous views, easy to access Bangor, the beach, anglesey and not too far to snowdonia either. Plenty of choices for food. It is really well equipped if you want to eat in. Fenced off garden area although some of the fences/ gates are broken so couldnt let the dog/ small children out without close attention. Read more Downsides are its really not very comfortable, feels cold and needs some TLC and a bit of effort to make it a homely place to be. Lots of bare walls, not many soft furnishings and with all the sofas being leather and the walls off white its a bit bleak. Lots of areas where paint is falling off, bits that clearly hadnt been cleaned for a long time, smelt funny, hair on the beds etc. So overall its perfect for a base but we didnt want to spend much time there. Its a bit tricky to find until you realise you need to go through the field to get to it. We didnt meet the hosts. Hide

Fantastic remote bungalow, yet close to all amenities. We walked our dogs across the big entrance field daily and only met another person once. Will definitely be back. Everything needed was provided. There was occassionally sheep in the small adjoining field, but they moved on when they saw our dogs, who really weren't interested in them. We Read morehave a 4x4 so going up the track over the field was not an issue, but it could prove challenging for some vehicles. Close enough to everything for food and sightseeing. Good internet too and heating so we didn't need to use the log burner. Hide

We had a lovely week in the cottage and found everything to be immaculately clean and tidy. It was easy to see that a lot of thought had gone into making it feel like a proper home from home. The kitchen was large and very well equipped. We enjoyed the welcome pack, I am now addicted to Welsh cakes which are delicious. The views and sunsets from thRead moree cottage were beautiful. As well as being such a peaceful location it was also a great base for exploring further afield. Our two dogs (small spaniels) settled in easily and the garden was secure for them. Cae'r Ffynnon is one of the nicest holiday cottages we have stayed in and we hope to be able to visit again in the future. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. Hide

We watched flocks of sheep being driven to be shorn and brought back up past the cottage several times witnessing the dogs working with the drivers. We walked up the track on a circular 5.5 km walk ending up on part of the North Wales Pigrims way, without having to drive anywhere. Perfect! Hide

Cottage is both spacious and cosy with fabulous views. Great location for exploring Snowdonia and Anglesey and short 10 min drive to Bangor with many supermarkets and shops. We loved the sheep and cows in surrounding fields. Lovely walks from the doorstep. We were all sad to leave at the end of the week.

A very nice place for a holiday in beautiful Wales. Especially the kitchen, with large windows, where you can enjoy the sun by day and sunsets at evening. The views are stunnishing. The grounds are fenced so dogs stay safe. It is a truly silent place and both Anglesey and the Mountains are nearby.
