Lovely accommodation, very central with lots to do in the local area. We’d booked the Zipline at Zipworld which was very close by. The house was cosy, warm and well equipped with everything you need for a short break away. Very clean and the beds were comfortable too.Highly recommended, would definitely use again if we’re visiting the area! Kerry the owner is very responsive and gave great directions to help us find it. Her rescue chickens also provided us with delicious fresh eggs for breakfast, an added bonus!

Kerry's place was just what my friend and I needed for our weekend away. Directions to the cottage were spot-on (and would've been easy to follow if we'd remembered we were coming from the opposite direction!). Parking was no problem, and despite being one of a number of holiday lets, we were never bothered by the noise of our neighbours. The beds were comfortable - with the rooms having their own TVS - the kitchen and bathroom were clean and well-appointed, and the location was perfect for our ZipWorld adventure! The only tweak I'd suggest is eventually replacing or fixing the door handles: it was very warm when we stayed, so we had the windows open for a cross-breeze, but the doors didn't catch in their frames and would open then slam in the middle of the night. It's nothing that would put me off recommending Kerry's place at all, though.Thank you for letting us stay!

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

Following a family holiday in 2021, we saw Felin Uchaf and instantly fell in love!
So, we went home to Cornwall, sold everything we owned and moved here with an ageing mum. We are firm believers that you only regret the things you didn't do - so here we all are :-).

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.)
