Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally described as clean and tidy, with one mention of a damp smell that suggests a need for airing out. However, this seems to be an isolated comment within the context of otherwise positive feedback on cleanliness.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to accurately assess the location of the property, as the reviewers have not commented specifically on this aspect.
Comfort is highlighted as a strong point, with the property being described as comfortable and well-equipped. The central heating and shower facilities are specifically mentioned as being really good.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, there is a mention of poor maintenance, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.
About this property
Caernarfon 1.6 miles. Perched on the outskirts of the bustling royal town of Caernarfon in Gwynedd, lies this charming, three-bedroom holiday chalet, Samphire. Perfect for families or a group of sharing friends, this delightful property makes an ideal base for exploring beautiful North Wales. Inside, you will find a wonderful, open-plan living space, home to a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and an inviting sitting area, which serves as a great spot to gather with your loved ones to enjoy a hearty home-cooked meal or a movie night whilst snuggled up on the sofa. Hosting all the amenities you could possibly need, both within the dwelling and on-site, Samphire is sure to cater for all your self-catering needs. Boasting three plush bedrooms including a double, a twin, and a triple bunk, the layout is ideal for a variety of groups, so all the family can come along on your fun-filled trip. In warmer months, grab a novel from the bookshelf and head outside onto the decking to enjoy the fresh countryside breeze and your morning coffee, a calming way to start ahead of your action-packed adventure. If you can tear yourself from your tranquil new dwelling, take a stroll with a home-made picnic in-hand to the nearby waters of the Afon Seiont, which is just a stone’s throw from your new home. Further on, take a walk into the town of Caernarfon, which offers a wide selection of independent shops and eateries, as well as an abundance of historical wonders; it’s well-worth a trip simply to uncover its castle and lively atmosphere. Slightly further afield, head towards Menai Bridge before you arrive at Anglesey; the idyllic isle well-renowned for its superb beaches and array of ancient sites, providing an enchanting day out for all ages and tastes, with its own sea zoo, seemingly-endless coastal path walks, and even cruises to the magnificent Puffin Island, guaranteed to be a wondrous day out for all. In reach of the luscious landscapes of the neighbouring Eryri National Park, and towns of Llandudno and Porthmadog, Samphire is a superb chalet, perfect for your next family break to Wales.
Caernarfon (county town of Gwynedd) has much historic and cultural importance in North Wales. It is a popular tourist spot with its impressive 13th Century castle, well preserved town walls and delightful water front. During the season there are guided tours of the castle and special events including historic pageants. There is also a station for the Welsh Highland Railway, which passes through dramatic scenery, the village of Beddgelert and onto Porthmadog. Fishing trips are available from the harbour and another attraction within walking distance of the town centre is Segontium, a Roman fort and museum, housing many important finds. Caernarfon offers a wide selection of shops and places to eat and is close to the lovely beaches of the Isle of Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula as well as the mountains and rivers of Snowdonia, including the renowned mountaineering town of Llanberis at the foot of Mount Snowdon.

We just feel the chalet smelt a little damp and hadnât been aired out. I think we may of been the 1st of the season to use it. The decking was also very slippy when wet. Nikki was very helpful when my wife spoke to her. We would definitely stay here again.
