Ty Castell is a well-received holiday cottage praised for its spaciousness, central location, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to local amenities and attractions, with special mentions of the thoughtful touches by the hosts. While some guests noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Most guests found Ty Castell clean and welcoming. However, a few reviews mentioned concerns with cleanliness, including dog hair and a musty smell upon arrival. These instances seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for being central and convenient, close to shops, restaurants, and attractions like Caernarfon Castle. Some noise from local nightlife is noted, but it does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception of the location.
Guests generally find the beds comfortable and the property warm and welcoming. The spaciousness is appreciated, although some guests mentioned issues with the attic room's suitability and the comfort of the sofas.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests enjoy the games room. However, there are comments about the need for maintenance, such as the dishwasher and electrical sockets, and suggestions for improvements like better showers and larger dishwashers.
While many guests mention and appreciate the welcome gifts, such as Welsh cakes, beer, and butter, there is not enough information to determine if these are consistent offerings for all stays. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
This wonderful, Grade II listed townhouse rests in the heart of the royal town of Caernarfon in North Wales. Set over four floors and tastefully decorated throughout, this townhouse is a quality base for families and friends seeking a fun-filled holiday in a superb location. You access the property via the rear door which brings you into the well-appointed kitchen, kitted out with all the appliances required to cater for a large group, and featuring ample seating at the dining table. Head into the sitting room and unwind on the sofas with a good film whilst the children find interest in the playroom with a Wii and selection of games. The bedrooms are arranged across three floors, with a double and twin on the first and second floor, whilst the third floor is occupied by a double with en-suite shower. Caernarfon boasts a great selection of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants to choose from, plus a historic castle and market square, all within a gentle stroll from the cottage. Cycling enthusiasts should explore along the Lon Eifion Cycleway which runs through Caenarfon, journeying along 12.5 miles of scenic Welsh countryside. Within fifteen minutes’ drive is Snowdonia National Park, where you can hike to the summit of Snowdon or catch the mountain railway for a chance to travel in comfort. Further attractions include Zip World and Surf Snowdonia which are perfect for an action-packed day out. A fine base to explore all the wonders of this corner of Wales.
The historic town of Caernarfon rests in North Wales and is Gwynedd's county town. Home to a unesco World Heritage Site and Wales' most famous caste, the town has gained attention with tourists.

The Welsh Highland Railway can be joined from the town station and passes through the villages of Beddgelert and onto Porthmadog.

John
Glad we only had one person in the double bed on the third floor due to lack of headroom. Thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay
Tony
The three floors and subsequent staircase was hard work for some of our party, so be aware of that when booking. Also the car parking, behind the property was far from ideal. A very narrow off road drive to the property was troublesome. It was very difficult to turn and get back out and I dented my door on a wall. And one day a large (empty) work vehicle blocked us in. This parking would not be suitable for a large vehicle.
Phillippa
Large spacious rooms, comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen. It is ideally placed for the town, the harbour, pubs and restaurants.
