The small family home of Cefn Eithin provides two comfortable self catering holiday cottages.

Eithin Bach and Stiwdio Eithinog are located next to the family home of Cefn Eithin. This listing is for the cottage of EITHIN BACH.

It is perfect for a  small family or a couple to holiday throughout the year. It offers a wonderful home from home self catering holiday experience. The beautiful castle town of Caernarfon and the gorgeous Snowdonia National Park are within very easy reach of Cefn Eithin

The space
Parking for the property is ample and privacy is afforded.

Eithin Bach is a single storey cottage. The entrance leads to the comfortable kitchen / diner / lounge, off which you can access the main bedroom, then the bathroom. The second, smaller bunkbedroom is accessed beyond the bathroom. For this reason alone I would recommend the let is more suitable to a couple or small family than groups of friends.
Opposite the entrance to Eithin Bach, there is a smaal drying room which is perfect for drying wet outdoor clothes. It can be shared with guests in the Stiwdio if necessary.
Our campervan and caravan site has plenty of space to kick a football around, or just enjoy a bit of outdoor garden space. You are welcome to use the wooden goal posts there for a kick about. Bird life in the garden area and the neighbouring fields is very good.

The tranquility of the location is wonderful, as are views of the Snowdonia mountains and over Abermenai to Anglesey

The cottage is available for week long or shorter term bookings, depending on availability.

Guest access
The parking close to Eithin Bach is ample, with care you can easily reverse up to the front door.
