There's a cosy lounge with a wood burner, a snug with a games console and a stunning kitchen-diner with French doors opening to the garden and covered hot tub.

Caernarfon Castle (6 miles, 12 mins), Dinas Dinlle beach and hill fort (4.5 miles, 8 mins), Zip World (various sites nearby) and the Welsh Highland Railway from Caernarfon (8 miles, 15 mins) are all within easy reach.

Up to three dogs are welcome. Cysgod Y Dyffryn suits families or groups wanting space, great facilities and fast access to both mountains and coast.
