We stayed here due to the great location and it's closeness to Zip World. The cottage is lovely and very well equipped. it was spotlessly clean and warm and welcoming - as was Kerry!We would definitely stay again and would recommend to others.

The property was lovely, very peaceful and was in a great location as it was near Llanberis and not far from Anglesey which were the two areas we wanted to visit.The beds were comfy and there was everything you could need in the kitchen. Some lovely treats were left for us on arrival and the kids appreciated these especially! The only slight downside was that there wasn't really anywhere to walk the dog at the cottage as it was near a main road with no pavements. Kerry, the host, was really helpful and communication was great throughout.

Excellent base for what we needed

We stayed at one of Kerry’s cottages for two nights. It’s very easily accessible from the North wales express way and only a short drive to Pen Y Pass car park. We found it clean and homely with everything we needed. Plenty of DVDs and games for relaxing. Fully decked out kitchen and comfy beds.

The cottage was lovely. Clean, warm and with everything you could need. Kitchen was really well equipped rather than just the bare basics you usually find. Communication from the host, Kerry, was really good and the welcome treats of biscuits and milk was really welcome after a 5 hour drive. There was even tea and coffee.Bedrooms were all great and beds comfortable.We had our dog with us and the cottage was very dog friendly with treats and even throws for if you wanted to let you dog on the sofa. Location is good for access to Bangor, Anglesea and the National park. In 10 minutes you are in Bangor or over onto Anglesea. There’s also a chippie just 5-6 minutes away! Only slight downsides for us was the road that is quite close to the cottage we were in. Although you couldn’t really notice it indoors if you were sitting in the garden in the summer you would do. Also the private garden is not accessible from inside the house and you go out of the front door and walk round (literally 15 seconds) This is not really an issue except that it meant to let the dog out at night you have to put the lead on and walk round. Not a problem on a summers evening but in north Wales in November it was raining of course! Overall we would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay at this property. One of the best we have used. Every item of convenience was available with a number of nice touches by the hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Kerry

Host profile image
My family and I moved to this beautiful part of North Wales in 2021 following family connections and childhood holidays!
We enjoy exploring this beautiful area with our rescue pooch, Ollie.
We aim to provide the type of holiday accommodation that we would want for ourselves - welcoming, cosy & relaxing and spotlessly clean.
We live in the farmhouse close by (which was also the Old Watermill) so we are on hand if we are needed, but aim to leave you in peace to enjoy your holiday.

Why they chose this property

Following a family holiday in 2021, we saw Felin Uchaf and instantly fell in love!
So, we went home to Cornwall, sold everything we owned and moved here with an ageing mum. We are firm believers that you only regret the things you didn't do - so here we all are :-).

What makes this property unique

Felin Uchaf translates as 'Upper Mill' as this beautiful building used to be the old village mill. We still have the water wheel, the millpond and the stream.

Our future plans include renovating the old water wheel and bringing it back to its former glory. Maybe with some hydro electric power too but that may be just a little ambitious.

We are rural but with everything close by if its needed. Bangor, Llanberis and Caernarfon are only a ten minute car ride.
A car is useful to take in all the sights.

So, if you want beautiful scenery, wonderful fresh air, unpolluted night skies, wildlife everywhere and the sound of the stream - this is the place to be!

We also have an EV charger and well behaved pets are very welcome too (there is a small additional charge for each pet.)
