Situated between Llanberis and Caernarfon lies one of the most beautiful areas of North Wales: Llanrug. Although one of the largest villages in Arfon, Llanrug is still relatively small, with only 761 houses, many of which are farm buildings and renovated cottages. There are only a few shops in the village, including a butcher, two pubs, two grocers and a chip shop. Should you require any further amenities, Bangor and Caernarfon are only a short drive away. The village has its own attractions, such as the 11th Century church of St. Mihangel and the Memorial Hall, built in the early 1900s. Llanrug's most famous neighbour, Llanberis, is only a few miles away. Llanberis has been christened ‘the Gateway to Snowdonia' and offers access to Mount Snowdon and the unspoilt wilds of the Snowdonia National Park. Llanberis also has a variety of restaurants, shops and inns, serving weary walkers with local fare.
Reviews
"We had a wonderful stay in the farmhouse , a lovely big area for 14 of us . The house was beautiful and the views amazing. Barbara the owner is lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Tea coffee etc all there for us and lovely fresh flowers was a nice touch . Piggy pottery was fab too we had a good few hours both days , relaxing and fun . I will definitely be returning in the future . "
"We had a great weekend here, really well equipped, spotless accommodation and great location. Nothing not to like!!! Second visit for us and will not be the last."
"This accommodation was absolutely superb and suited our needs to a tee. Owner Barbara was extremely polite and helpful. There were eleven of us all on motor cycles taking a winter get together and finding such a welcoming site was amazing. Three of our group took the opportunity to make use o the adjoining pottery studio where we could decorate our own pots and see what an extremely talented lady Barbara is. Cannot wait to return"
"This farmhouse was amazing. The perfect location for the beautiful scenes of north Wales and so close to so many incredible activities. Everything in the farmhouse was clean, and plenty of utensils for all of us. Barbara was also amazingly accommodating opening up to allow us to paint at piggery pottery next door to suit our timetable of action packed fun and games to celebrate our friends 'last fling before the ring'! Plenty of parking space copious bathrooms and we were so lucky the amazing weather allowed us to enjoy the garden as well as the beautiful house. Would love to visit again. The perfect place for an action packed weekend. "
"Stayed at this 5 bed farmhouse for a weekend away with friends and teenage kids (14 people in total). We had a great weekend, and traveled down after work on the Friday evening. The farmhouse was comfortable and is in a great location. The farmhouse has plenty of room downstairs, plenty of hot water, was lovely and warm (we even turned the heat off at times) and decent size bedrooms - all with en-suite shower room. We took a trip down to Llanberis on the Saturday morning. The 'girls' all went into the on site Pottery Centre for the afternoon and had a great few hours painting Xmas themed pottery mementos, whilst the 'lads' went to the local pub which is 5 mins walk away. This was a great weekend at a good price."
"Booked this 5 bed farmhouse for a weekend away with friends and work colleagues, a group of 9. We had such a great weekend, we travelled after work on the Friday a bit of a delay on the A5 but apart from that easy to find. The farmhouse looks impressive and a great tranquil location. Mrs Winrow was very helpful and left us a welcoming pack, which was very thoughtful. The farmhouse has plenty of room downstairs, plenty hot water and decent size bedrooms. Barbara even drove us down to Llanberis on the Saturday morning for our walk up Snowdon. We had a meal booked at the local pub which is 5 mins walk. Where we found friendly locals and a good choice of food. We decided to have a go at painting a pig at the Piggery Pottery Craft Centre which is on site. We spent a couple of hours there which we all enjoyed. We all agree that it was a great weekend and would definately return."
"This was a family holiday with a total of 8 family and friends staying. It is in a great location for exploring the northern half of Snowdonia and we had good road access to Llanberris aswell as Bedgelert and the Ogwen valley, all within a 20 minute drive. This was great for days out on the hills. The accommodation is as described on the Sykes site but I would say that the decor is looking a bit tired and worn but overall still functional. The kitchen could do with a refit as it does'nt cater easily for large groups, there is plenty of pots, pans etc but the cooker hob is next to useless as you cant fit 2 large pans on at the same time! Its a great place for active people looking for a base rather than a luxury break.The pub up the road does good food at reasonable prices. All of our party would stay here again, just wish the kitchen was a bit more user friendly."
"Really disappointed with this place pictures look great on web but in reality nowhere near as good . Taking plates and pans from cupboards only to find dirty from last guests is not a good start. Water leaking through ceiling from one bedroom . Shower thermostatic valve not working so got scalding showers ( unless you are more than fifth to use as there is no more hot water available ) which is strange for accommodation for 15. We book large houses each year for new year for the last 10 years and this is way below what we expected Felt like it really needed a good scrubbing"
"House is very comfy, warm and welcoming.. Own entrance and parking. Ideal kitchen for entertaining and lovely conservatory with fantastic views over the countryside and mountains. The big sofa in the living room was very snug! Lovely! Barbara was around when needed and was very welcoming. We had a night in the pottery with her making pots and painting Christmas decorations which was hugely enjoyable. Great location."
"My family and I spent a relaxing week here during august 2012. The owner could not have been more accommodating. The property was well equiped, clean and spacious and the conservatory provided a welcome spot in which to relax and enjoy the scenary whilst suffering joys of the wonderful Welsh weather!"
"There were 10 of us staying at Llanrug; 6 adults, 1 teenager and 3 children and it was perfect with 5 bedrooms - all en-suite. Really nice location close to Llanberis and very quiet. Secure garden so the children could play outside. WiFi so the teenager was happy! Overall excellent accomodation"
"The directions to the cottage were excellent, we came from 4 directions and everyone got there with no problems. We were greeted by the very friendly owner, who showed us around the house. Facilities were excellent, and we all looked forward to our meals overlooking mountains and glorious scenery. The rooms were good, comfortable and provided all we wanted. They had workable showers and I think the TVs worked although we did not use them, there was too much to do and see in the area. The cooker provided a challenge,but we cracked it quite quickly although this I believe is being changed to a simpler one. Th owner told us of the many walks from the door and nearby. Everyone was sad to leave but we will all be back."
