Superb is the first word that comes to mind! This lovely cottage is a real treasure and just a delightful place to stay. The owner Kerri was so helpful right from the very start of our booking and throughout our stay. Excellent up to date amenities mixed with charm of the cottage led to a memorable stay. We did not have a car which would have made travel into Llanbaris and Bangor easier but we made out just fine! Highly recommend!

Edge of Snowdonia

The property was clean and comfortable with all mod cons. Kerry and John were very welcoming and informative. There were several places around the property for sitting out and enjoying the sunshine. The location is ideal for touring North Wales. We had a few visits to Snowdonia and also Conwy Castle.

We stayed her from Friday to Sunday. It is a delightful little cottage and has lovely attention to detail. It was equipped with everything possible. Outside you have private access to your own little garden and acess to a shared garden. There are chickens on the grounds who are so entertaining and friendly and if you like an egg, I can confirm, that theirs were just yummy! The cottage is in a great location for getting around Wales and is also positioned for privacy and resting, next to a little farm. I whole heartedly would recommend staying here. We had a lovely time.

Delightful

Lovely cottage, very comfortable for 2 people. Really nice touches of little items like biscuits, Welsh cakes, Horlick drinks and microwave popcorn. Little patio / sun area to the rear was lovely. Well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen. Nice wet room suitable for some disabilities but would benefit from some grab rails. Easy access to main A55 expressway. Close to tourist attractions.

Great base for a visit to North Wales. Hosts were excellent at communicating which was fantastic as Vrbo, the agent we booked through, did not send us details until 2 days before we left. I couldn’t log on to their website to access the details for check in. Thankfully Kerry and John sent me great instructions and were there to help us on arrival. Lovely to have a milk, tea bags and sugar to make a cup of tea on arrival, as well as breakfast items. We felt very well looked after.

About the host

Hosted by Kerry

Host profile image
My family and I moved to this beautiful part of North Wales in 2021 following family connections and childhood holidays!
We enjoy exploring this beautiful area with our rescue pooch, Ollie.
We aim to provide the type of holiday accommodation that we would want for ourselves - welcoming, cosy & relaxing and spotlessly clean.
We live in the farmhouse close by (which was also the Old Watermill) so we are on hand if we are needed, but aim to leave you in peace to enjoy your holiday.

Why they chose this property

Many of our guests are 'returners' that book again as soon as they have left - which means we are doing something right :-)
Our three cottages are in a stunningly beautiful area with everything you could need close to hand - whether that's a day exploring Snowdonia, visiting a castle, going to the beach, a day shopping, restaurants and take-aways close by and then returning to your warm and comfy barn conversion.
All three cottages were once part of the original farm (we live in the farmhouse close by) and were converted a few years ago into what they are today.
The main farmhouse was once a mill and many of the original features are still there, including the waterwheel and the millpond and stream.
It is a beautiful area and we are truly blessed to live here!

What makes this property unique

Felin Uchaf translates as 'Upper Mill' as this beautiful building used to be the old village mill. We still have the water wheel, the millpond and the stream.

Our future plans include renovating the old water wheel and bringing it back to its former glory. Maybe with some hydro electric power too but that may be just a little ambitious.

We are rural but with everything close by if its needed. Bangor, Llanberis and Caernarfon are only a ten minute car ride.
A car is useful to take in all the sights.

So, if you want beautiful scenery, wonderful fresh air, unpolluted night skies, wildlife everywhere and the sound of the stream - this is the place to be!

We also have an EV charger and well behaved pets are very welcome too (there is a small additional charge for each pet.)
