Access Statement

This is a typical farmhouse cottage built around 1870 with a good level access from the main yard. You may park directly outside the main entrance. The back door is used as a main entrance from the yard and has a storm guard threshold (approx. 40mm high). There is good lighting to the back door. The whole of the ground floor is level except for a small ramp leading up to the kitchen. All the internal openings vary from 650mm to 800mm and although wheelchair users have used the property before, it obviously has not been designed for this purpose. However, the bathroom and one bedroom are on the ground floor, which is advantageous. You take the "front" door as an access to the garden but this has a step down of 100mm from the porch. From the main lounge area there is straight flight open staircase up to the first floor and then one step either side of the flight to the two main bedrooms. This staircase has a handrail to one side. Lighting is good with bedside lights to every bed. The walls throughout are mostly pale. The TV has remote control and teletext. There is no telephone. All electric power points (except kitchen worktop levels) are at the old-fashioned low levels and switches are approx. 1500mm high.

Description

In a stunning position, with views both across to the sea and the mountains, Ty Eiddew was the original farmhouse on this working farm near Llanfaglan, 2 miles from Caernarfon. This property is in a great location, with easy access to the beaches of the Lleyn Peninsula and the mountains and attractions of the Eryri - Snowdonia National Park. This peaceful location has walking from the door, through the owners' land, to a pebble beach with views across the Menai Straits to Anglesey and down to Caernarfon. Here you can find all the facilities of a small town such as supermarkets, cafes and pubs, plus some lovely shops selling local products, great restaurants, the Welsh Highland Railway and of course the world famous castle. In the other direction is the Blue Flag award beach and small airport with pleasure flights and a museum at Dinas Dinlle, 5 miles, and the delightful park, craft centre and cafe at Glynllifon. The award winning Fron Goch Garden Centre and Cafe are situated just one mile away and Zip World Velocity at Bethesda is a half hour drive.

BROCHURE DESCRIPTION

Reviews

Enclosed garden and extensive fields were perfect for our dog! Ideal location, coast and country walks straight out of the door! Very comfortable cottage.

Previous Customer,

The property is a very sweet old cottage, in a lovely location. It is dated, not on issue if the sun is shining and you are outside exploring. As we had lots of rain, and it was very cold, the log burner was glorious! The garden is great for dogs, although beware the planters in front of the wall as they can be used as a step up by larger dogs into the adjacent field which wasn’t a problem as it was clear of livestock.

Previous Customer,

Previous Customer,

Location

The walled town of Caernarfon is one of the most popular places to visit in Wales. Here are Jacky’s top 7 things to see and do whilst on your holiday in the area:

  1. Top of the list has to be to visit the majestic Caernarfon Castle. Open all year, great for all the family and with an interesting Welsh Fusiliers museum.
  2. Take a stroll, or bike ride from the castle, along the walls and past the marina (bike hire available in the town). Enjoy stunning views across the Menai Straits to Anglesey. If feeling energetic, the cycle way continues to the pretty seaside village of Port Dinorwic (Felinheli). Alternatively take it easy and wander back to the many independent shops and cafés in Caernarfon.
  3. The Welsh Highland Railway starts in the town and makes its journey, passing underneath Snowdon, through the mountains to Porthmadog. Beddgelert is a pretty village on en route where you can take a riverside walk, or enjoy a swim! Visit the famous Gelert’s Grave or National Trust shop and sample the very popular Glaslyn ice creams.
  4. For the kids there’s a great outdoor play area and skate park just across the river in Caernarfon. If the weather is not up to scratch there’s an indoor play centre for children and adults, if you dare… I haven’t managed the steepest slide yet! There’s a leisure centre with swimming pool, and on the outskirts of town, Gypsy Wood Activity Park.
  5. My favourite place to eat is the Black Boy Inn, good welsh pub food in a busy, lively atmosphere. Alternatively, during the day, Fron Goch Garden Centre’s award winning restaurant serving home cooked food and cakes is a few miles walk/cycle along the Welsh Highland Railway (Sunday lunch here not to be missed).
  6. The Foryd Nature Reserve runs along the tidal estuary from Caernarfon, enjoying great views of Caernarfon Castle and the Llŷn Peninsula. Whilst there, visit the tiny church at Llanfaglan, romantically positioned overlooking Caernarfon Bay.
  7. Discover the Roman Fort of Segontium on the outskirts of Caernarfon. Built to defend the Roman empire against rebellious tribes, the fort survived until the end of the Roman occupation of Britain, no other fort in Wales was held for so long.
