The Experience

This charming manor house sits on its own estate. Outside are sloping lawns, formal parterres and a wildflower meadow, inside are twisty corridors, marvellous antique furniture and staircases that date from the 1600s. The house is still in the family; paintings and ceramics by them decorate several of the walls.

Find a beautifully furnished hall, a cosy sitting room with an inglenook, a magnificent dining room with an oak refectory table and a lovely kitchen full of Welsh treats – you can pre-order breakfast, or even have it cooked for you. Everything shines. Trot up two steps to find a sitting room for children – sofa, toys, books, TV – and two good bedrooms. On the upper floors are the rest of the bedrooms, full of character and style, and big old-fashioned bathrooms with up-to-the-minute showers.

There is a housekeeper if you prefer to be looked after and maps, wellies, coats and hats to borrow – explore acres of grounds.

Reviews

Our big family party had the most wonderful week at Carrigfelen. Utterly beautiful setting, terrace and estate, fascinating house full of beautiful things and surrounded by all the magic of Eryri and the coast for climbing, swimming and surfing. Recommend heartily!

Charlotte, London

Another lovely stay at Careg Felen. 17 years since we first came to this amazing house and it never fails to impress. Kerry was brilliant and we will no doubt be back again as it really is now part of our family.

Chris, Nettleton

An old house with a history, romantic. from the kitchen window there is a view of the terrace and mountain, it is very pleasant to cook there to drink coffee and watch. It is correct to be called outstanding! If you are a romantic and want to spend an unforgettable weekend with friends or family who loves history and nature, it is wonderful. In the summer, enjoying the terrace, the sky and birds around - perfect. Thank you for letting us stay.

Andry, Kiev

Carregfelen was comfortable and private with lovely views. It was in a great location for restaurants with lots to do in the area.

Jennifer, Grange over Sands

We have stayed four years in a row and always rebook. A week of tranquillity in a wonderful area. Spend the week in the amazing garden or in the mountains. The choice is yours!

David, Penarth

This was the first time back to Carregfelen since 2017. We have been many times before and had marvelous family holidays and it didn't disappoint this time. Kerrie was a very friendly and helpful housekeeper. We have re-booked for next year.

Chris, London

Our stay was incredible! The house comfortably accommodated 12 adults with single, king, and twin bedrooms. The children's living room was a hit, filled with games, TV, books, and a cozy fireplace. The stunning dining room and garden with a breathtaking view made meals unforgettable. A 5-minute drive took us to a fantastic beach and seafood restaurant. The town was delightful for leisurely strolls. Three days weren't enough—we loved every moment! Highly recommend this remarkable Airbnb retreat. Grateful to the hosts!

Anastasia, Moscow

We traveled as a family of 10 plus a dog and all had a great time. The house is beautiful and the views are spectacular. Secluded and quiet with lovely local beaches nearby. We would definitely stay here again it was lovely and cosy :)

Daniel, Brighton

While at Carregfelen you feel you have entered an enchanted kingdom of beauty and relaxation. The house is filled with the atmosphere of many people's stories and experiences and all in a superlative setting filled with fantastic vistas and wildlife. There is something to discover at every turn and a 3000 acre estate to explore. Comfort combines seamlessly with a rich tapestry of family life.

Steph, Sawday's Inspector

A lovely well-appointed period house in a beautiful area with beach and mountains nearby and plenty to do for all ages. Highly recommended, and Kellie housekept us very well.

Christopher, Cheltenham

Carregfelen - what a place. Lived up to all that was promised...Conversation around the log fire - my favourite perch being the window seat. Delightful gatherings around the intimate yet grand dining table. The family portraits lending a sense of occasion & looking on approvingly. The house worked so well for our party of 10 - the annexe providing a charming addition of a separate sitting room to withdraw to - a quiet space from the collective. The setting and grounds were beautiful with the magnificent view of the mountain from the front door & such thoughtful hosts - a very special place.

Christabel, Cardiff

Yet another brilliant stay in a most magical place

Location

The neighbourhood

The ancient oak woodlands are a joy to explore, and there's a trout-filled lake you may fish. There is very little light pollution and as it is a 3000-acre estate there is a lot of wildlife, including bats. It feels very remote and is completely private from the other cottages on the estate, yet it is only a 10-minute drive to Porthmadog or Criccieth with many shops and restaurants.

Local points of interest from Wern Holiday Cottages

  • 2000 acre private country estate surrounded by ancient oak woodlands - perfect for dog walking or just exploring.
  • You can fish in our private lake at a very reasonable cost. Our lake has been stocked solely for the use of our guests.
  • Portmeirion is only a short drive away - created by Clough Williams-Ellis (the owner of the cottage is his great nephew) this quirky Italianaite village is full of surprises. Iconic architecture, scenic walks, restaurants, cafes and ice cream parlours!
  • Llanbedrog is a charming little seaside village with a superb beach and the most famous line of beach huts in Wales. Visit the Oriel Plas Glyn Y Weddw Gallery - see the owner's (David) sculpture "Louise" in the garden. Lovely tea room with homemade cakes
  • Black Rock Sands is a must - The beach is so vast that you can drive your car onto it. Perfect for dog walking, shell collecting, windsurfing or just having a good old run about.
