Formerly known as Port Dinorwic, Y Felinheli is situated on the beautiful Menai Straits between the historic town of Caernarfon and the cathedral city of Bangor. This lovely harbour town is home to a small, established yachting marina with an interesting lock, which allows boats to enter or leave before cruising down the Straits to the open sea. There is also a wide selection of amenities in the village as well as pubs, restaurants, shops and a hotel, whilst just two miles away is an award-winning five-star restaurant for something a little more special. The landscape of this pretty region is incredibly diverse and offers the stunning mountain of Snowdonia, the beautiful Lleyn Peninsula, and the sandy beaches of the Isle of Anglesey – all of which are within easy driving distance.

Blissful. Communication with owners was excellent.

Central location which was perfect for visiting Anglesey and areas around Caernarfon and down to Porthmadoq with ease. Sitting in the lounge at night watching the world outside in a very private elevated spot was just great.

Having a shower room and a bathroom was a bonus. Everything that we needed (and much more ) was provided. The views of the Menai Strait from the windows were fantastic. The owners provided clear directions as how to find the cottage in Y Felinheli. We would stay here again and have no hesitation in recommending Penrallt Cottage for a long or short stay.
