Ty Loti

About this property

Penygroes 2.5 miles. Ty Loti is an appealing annex in Carmel, Gwynedd, with off-road parking, countryside and mountain views, and characterful open beams. Set in a remote spot yet within reach of the essentials, this is a memorable base for couples, walkers, and anyone drawn to wide skies and the changing colours of the landscape. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of stepping into somewhere with its own distinct character, where the rural setting and thoughtful layout make it easy to settle into holiday mode. Inside, the open-plan living space brings everything together in one welcoming room, making it just as suited to slow mornings as it is to evenings spent planning the next day’s route.

The kitchen is well-equipped for relaxed meals, while the dining area creates an easy setting for unwinding together. In the sitting area, the ethanol-burning stove adds a gentle focal point as daylight fades, while the custom-made winding wooden staircase introduces a striking design feature that gives the property its individuality. The super-king-size bedroom provides a generous place to retreat, and the ground-floor shower room offers a sleek, practical finish. Outside, the patio garden with furniture and barbecue is perfectly positioned for taking in the surrounding views. A short drive brings you to Caernarfon, where a visit to the impressive Caernarfon Castle offers a glimpse into Welsh history, while the town’s waterfront and traditional streets provide places to wander at your own pace.

From here, you can explore the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia National Park), with routes leading towards Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) for those keen to experience its renowned scenery. For coastal days, head towards the island of Anglesey, where locations such as Newborough Beach and forest, Beaumaris Castle, and the scenic shoreline offer a change of pace. With beach access also a short drive from the property, days can easily shift between coast and countryside. As evening falls, the dark skies around Carmel create excellent conditions for stargazing, bringing a memorable end to each day at Ty Loti.

The lovely quiet village of Penygroes is situated around six miles from the historic castle town of Caernarfon, bordering the Snowdonia National Park with beautiful scenic walks and mountain views easily accessible. A good selection of shops, cafes and pubs are available in the village and the wider local area is full of restaurants and activities such as golfing, swimming, tennis, surfing and horse riding to name but a few. Plas Dinas Country House is also nearby, which is home to some great history as well as The Gun Room restaurant. The beaches on Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula can be reached in about half an hour, while the beach at Dinas Dinlle is just a 10-minute drive away. Nearby, Caernarfon is home to Caernarfon Castle, which is well worth a visit, with further shops and cafes available, as well as steam train trips. Portmeirion is also a short distance away, featured in the TV series ‘The Prisoner’. Just 8 miles away is the Welsh Heritage centre which has a licensed cafe at Nant Nwrtheyrn with magnificent sea views from it's decked dining area. Beddgelert is a very attractive village, surrounded by the beautiful Snowdonia National Park, with a fabulous arts and craft shop, and several pubs. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
