The historic town of Caernarfon is a short drive or bus ride away where you can visit the impressive castle, wander through the old cobbled streets and even visit the "smallest bar in Wales"!
Y Felinheli, formerly know as Port Dinorwic, is situated on the beautiful Menai Strait between the historic town of Caernarfon and the cathedral city of Bangor. Home to a small, established yachting marina with an interesting lock (allowing boats to enter or leave before cruising down the Straits to the open sea), this small village also has a couple of pubs, a restaurant and cafe in the dock area, a shop and Post Office, a beautician, a hairdresser and several great restaurants on the nearby Island of Anglesey. Visitors to this lovely region are spoilt for choice, with stunning Snowdonia, the beautiful Llyn Peninsula, or the sandy beaches of the Isle of Anglesey all within easy reach.

We have stayed there twice now and both times it did not disappoint. The inside is beautifully decorated and consists of everything you would need for your stay. I would highly recommend this apartment and I will be visiting again.

The wi-fi was good but the mobile phone signal was non existent unless you used the phone via wi-fi. We found the sofas looked very nice but weâre not comfortable to sit on unless you lay on them. However, we had one major criticism and that was the showers, they were absolute death traps for anyone who was older as the trays became like an ice rink as soon as they became wet. The worst of the two was the main bathroom shower where I fell over once. We finally found the anti slip mat in a drawer but this really wasnât big enough to cover the whole tray. My wife felt that it may have been the cleaning solution that the cleaners used that was making them like this. Certainly this needs addressing before someone has a bad fall. Otherwise, everything was excellent and we enjoyed our rather truncated stay despite the weather.
