Bryn Derwen offers the opportunity to stay in a beautiful cottage while enjoying the facilities this glorious landscape offers. It is the perfect base.

If you want to relax, read, sit in front of a log fire; the cottage is delightfully warm, sunny and comfortable. The gardens at the front and back of the cottage are private and fragrant. From the back garden you can reach a ridge which leads to Snowdon. From the house, two foot paths lead to Mynydd Mawr. The Afon Gwyfrai can be used for swimming in the warmer weather!

The village of Betws Garmon is just 6 miles from the historic town of Caernarfon with its stunning castle and access to the Menai Strait. Caernarfon is also the nearest shopping town for all your supermarket needs. It is 8 miles from the picturesque village of Beddgelert. The Welsh Highland Railway has a request stop in the village for steam train enthusiasts and the Sherpa bus passes the door if you want to leave your car behind. In the next villages of Waunfawr and Rhyd Ddu, each about two miles away, there are pubs with restaurants. In Waunfawr the pub has a micro brewery, in Rhyd Ddu the pub specializes in Real Ales.

The cottage is half an hour from Anglesey; famous for its coastal walks and beaches, an hour from the Llyn Peninsular where you'll find fabulous beaches and walks as well as the island of Enlli (Bardsey) and the Italianate village of Portmerion and the market town of Porthmadog are only 45 minutes away.
