Lovely cottage. Well equipped, modern and clean and great for a family holiday. Hot tub and garden lovely. The owner was very helpful and responded to minor requests very quickly. Great base for Anglesey, Snowdonia, Caernarfon and the gorgeous beaches on Lleyn

Helen

A lovely house tucked away, in easy walking distance of a Co-op. It's a good base to explore the area. The house was well fitted out and very comfortable- and the hot tub was brilliant!

Jean

Absolutely beautiful! Everything you could need for an amazing stay. Attention to detail is second to none and even a welcome pack with goodies for both humans and pooches. Well located between Caernarfon and Porthmadog so plent to do. We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Liz

We so enjoyed our stay here. The property was so comfortable with every kitchen item you could require! The hot tub was so needed after long days walking and the property is situated in a little village with a bakery, Co-op, takeaway places and pharmacy. I would highly recommend anyone to stay there. It's situated not too far from lots of must sees in the area as well.

Vivien

Beautiful property. Lovely Welcome pack. The owner is great and was quick to respond with a small issue we had. The deli few minutes away does great rolls etc. The vineyard ten minutes walk makes lovely drinking chocolate .

Eileen

The cottage was very nice and plenty of room for all the family. Inside the house was immaculate and comfortable. It rained almost every day so it was good to have a comfortable place to be! If it rains, go to Anglesey!

Yvonne

Lovely big house with plenty of space for multigenerational family. Great kitchen diner and well equiped. You need to take your own bin liners and dish washer tablets though. Second sitting room/games room very usefull. Travel cot and high chair were great but no stair gates for toddlers. Big garden for kids to run about but patio pools with water when it rains so needs to be cleared before you can use it. Good base to visit other areas of North Wales but nothing much in Penygroes itself.

Angela

This is a luxurious cottage with everything you need and more it definitely has the wow factor its so beautiful and nothing is too much trouble for the owner definitely 5 stars from me

John

Wow, stunning property, we lacked for nothing during our weeks stay. Luxurious house with superb hot tub. Important to follow the directions, not satnav in the village - the track down to the house really is opposite number 72. Close to main road to Caernarfon and Porthmadog. Cleaners were just leaving as we arrived at 5pm so please dont expect to be in before then! Would thoroughly recommend this property.

Rhian

This property was one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed at. Loads of space for everyone and very well equipped. The beds and sofa's were very comfortable A great place to stay.

Belinda

This is a lovely very well maintained house. It was immaculately clean and equipped with everything you could think of. There was so much space both inside and out with plenty of room for the little ones and the dogs to play. The hot tub was a good size and undercover which was handy when the Welsh weather closed in! Altogether a perfect place to s tay!

Kathryn

Absolutely beautiful house! The house has been done to a very high standard, lots of space, beautiful location and is a lovely big space. Very clean and modern. The owner was contactable but by no means imposing and when contacted, very friendly and accommodating. Hot tub a massive bonus! Would love to bring my family back!

Victoria

This is a beautiful house with plenty of space for a big family. Lots of room and nicely furnished and decorated. The hot tub is amazing. The house was very clean and the welcome pack was a n added bonus. The kitchen was fully stocked with cleaning products and the added utility room was a great asset (and storage space!). The house is only 20-30 m inute drives away from some local attractions, bars and restaurants. The photographs do not do it justice.

Michelle

Fantastic holiday with every need catered for. A true home from home and owners were so helpful and polite and we will definitely be back! Wonderful location too, all boxes ticked!

Denise

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage with good quality furnishings. We liked having the snug which we used as a games room as well as the lounge. The hot tub was great for chilling out in the evenings. Theres not a great deal in the village but plenty of attractions and hostelries within a reasonable distance.

David

The property was a perfect base for our holiday. The presentation of every room was perfect with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and is a credit to David the owner. We did have two small issues we felt needing addressed during our stay which were courteously and quickly rectified after contacting David, again credit him. Beautiful p art of the country and loved every minute. We would fully recommend Cysgod Y Dyffryn as a holiday destination.

We loved our time at the house. Everything was in immaculate condition, exceptionally clean and a luxurious set up. The house is spacious and welcoming. The kitchen was a joy to use (loved the fridge/freezer and water/ice dispenser). The hot tub was a wonderful way to relax after a day out. Best of all is its central location to so many wonderful p laces to visit, it was the perfect base. The owner was also brilliant and very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely property. All comforts have been thought of. Location is great as you have easy access to various coastal areas.

We would recommend this property.

Ross

Fantastic house. Just a stones throw from a cycle path all the way to Bangor and a short walk to a vineyard! House was very well equipped and perfectly suited our families needs. Hot tub was a great place to relax and catch up. Local village has a lovely deli, a coop and a vineyard but not a lot more. Its not a long drive to the beach though and Ca ernarfon and Bangor are within easy reach via car. Highly recommend this property.
