Guests say
Penlan cottage in Caernarfon, North Wales, is cherished for its stunning location, cleanliness, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the proximity to local amenities and the natural beauty of the surrounding area. While some noted the need for updates and additional facilities, the charm of the cottage and its setting often outweighs these concerns. The lack of Wi-Fi is seen as a chance to disconnect and enjoy the tranquillity.
The cottage consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'very clean' and 'immaculately clean' upon arrival.
The location is highly regarded for its beautiful views, proximity to local shops, pubs, and walks, as well as being a great base for exploring Snowdonia.
Comfort receives a good score, with many finding the cottage cosy and peaceful. However, some guests mentioned the mattresses being uncomfortable and the heating inadequate at times.
Facilities are generally appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen. However, points are deducted for blunt knives, lack of a tumble dryer, and occasional maintenance issues like leaks.
While some guests mentioned the lack of a welcome pack and the presence of Rupert Bear memorabilia, there is insufficient information on consistent thoughtful gestures such as gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that while such touches are appreciated, they are not guaranteed.
About this property
Beddgelert 0.3 miles.
A charming, detached Beddgelert cottage, set in quiet woodland in an elevated position above the picturesque village of Beddgelert in the Snowdonia National Park. This Beddgelert cottage is affectionately known as Rupert Bear's Cottage in memory of the author and illustrator of the Rupert Bear stories, who lived there from 1956 to 1986. He gained his inspiration from the local countryside and wrote the Rupert Bear stories from here for many years. This secluded Beddgelert cottage has two bedrooms, a sitting/dining room, and a well-equipped kitchen area, both with exposed wooden beams. The gardens and woodland surrounding this Beddgelert holiday home provide peace and tranquillity, yet the cottage is only a 5-minute stroll into the centre of Beddgelert. There are miles of walking tracks around, some starting from outside the door of this Beddgelert cottage. Further afield are the beaches of Porthmadog, Italianate Portmeirion, castles at Caernarfon, Conwy and Harlech and the coastline of the Llyn Peninsula. A fantastic Beddgelert cottage, in a great location at any time of the year.

The cottage is beautifully situated and has always been clean and well equipped. Heating by storage heaters is never the most efficient form of heating but the electric stove and portable oil radiators cover the colder times. WiFi is not provided which some visitors may find frustrating. For others it may be a relief.

Not just a lovely cottage but a friendly and pretty village. The weather was dismal, as expected in late November but we still managed to find plenty to do. Everything is within reach of the cottage. A well stocked shop, a choice of pubs and cafes, lots of walks for all abilities and a bus service. Weâll definitely like to visit again.
