Wern Olau Cottage in Groeslon near Caernarfon | Must-See Gwynedd Hot Tub Cottage

About Wern Olau Cottage

Wern Olau Cottage sits in North Wales, just 5 miles from Caernarfon. This upside-down house offers stunning sea views from the first-floor living area where you'll spend most of your time. The layout's genius - bedrooms downstairs, living space upstairs. Perfect for soaking up those Welsh coastal panoramas with a favourite drink..

The location hits the sweet spot between peaceful countryside and practical access. You're just a mile from the nearest shop and 1.5 miles from the pub (walking distance if you're determined enough). Snowdonia's mountains provide a dramatic backdrop while Anglesey sits 13 miles away. The hot tub on the deck is positioned perfectly for sunset views - nothing beats bubbling away while watching the sun sink into the sea.

Accommodation includes three ground-floor bedrooms: a super-king with en-suite, a king-size and a single. There's also a ground-floor bathroom with jacuzzi bath and separate shower. Upstairs opens into a spacious kitchen-dining-living area with an electric range cooker, two fridges and everything needed for proper cooking. The owners have thought of everything - from extra towels to hair straighteners.

Visit Caernarfon Castle (5 miles, 12 min drive), explore Snowdonia National Park (15 min drive), wander Newborough Beach (15 miles, 30 min drive), or shop in Bangor (10 miles, 20 min). The cottage makes an ideal base for exploring North Wales' highlights.

Wern Olau Cottage works brilliantly for families or small groups. The thoughtful extras make it special - games, puzzles, even toys for kids. And that hot tub? Worth booking for that alone.

Wern Olau Cottage Reviews

Absolutely stunning property, plenty of kitchen eqpt and basics. They also provide milk on arrival. They have 2 double beds not shown in photos as well as deluxe super king. Bedding is very heavy which is cosy, but hot for summer months. Beautiful views and lush hot tub not next to cottage or private as can be viewed from owners home, but is just across the driveway and overlooks garden Love that living area is upstairs and bedrooms downstairs as you get best views there. Gets very warm upstairs so a fan would've been good. A garden area or veranda would've been nice as garden shown in pics is the owners home. Plenty of children's toys and games provided. Should mention there is a dog on property very friendly but not everyone likes that Really helpful owners Thanks for a beautiful stay

Owners have thought of everything. A real home from home. I would recommend taking a fan if good weather expected. Will definately be back.

Beautiful property with everything we needed. Very comfortable and well equipped. Fantastic views. The hot tub was a great addition. Owners friendly and helpful. Plenty to do and see in the area. Would definitely recommend and return.

A beautiful holiday home! We absolutely loved our stay, the beds were so comfy, the rooms were immaculately presented and everything was thought of! We could relax and enjoy our family holiday. Would definitely recommend! We want to come and stay again.

Samantha

Gorgeous house, great to get there and have all the basics provided plus some treats. Lovely comfy beds, gorgeous views of the coast. Thoroughly enjoy our stay.

We loved our week at Wern Olau Cottage. It was the perfect place to explore the area. The accommodation was lovely, super comfortable and had everything you could need. Hot tub was an added bonus and the lovely animals too

Rebecca

What a fantastic property! Not only was the house in a great location and perfect for what we needed, it was clean, comfortable and great to return to at the end of a long day walking and climbing. The hot tub was an added bonus to relax in, watching the stars and winding down each evening. The owners have thought of everything throughout. Those little lonely touches make all the difference blankets dotted around, an airfryer, towels provided. The owner was also friendly and chatty, and nothing was too much trouble. A great place for a break away and we wouldn't hesitate to return

Lovely break for all of us

We thoroughly enjoyed our lovely stay at Wern Olau Cottage. The setting was tranquil and the quality of the accommodation was very high. The hot tub was just a few steps from the house a wonderful view of all the stars and planets in the night sky. Hosts very welcoming and ideally located for zipworld, criceith and angelsea. Would definitely recommend

Matthew

Amazing stay. Couldn't fault anything. Made for the perfect getaway for a few days off for my Birthday.

A perfect holiday place with ever changing views of the sea and a large hot tub. The space is generous, the kitchen well equipped and we were able to prepare our Christmas meal with ease. The owners decorated the space for the festive season beautifully we even had two Christmas trees! There were ample games and puzzles and, if you have small children, toys, stair gates, high chair and baby cutlery are also provided. Hoping to return!

A wonderful relaxing break. The cottage has everything you could need. Everything is high class and plentiful from cutlery to extra towels and bedding. A unit full of games in the living room to toys galore if you have children Hair dryers straighteners . A fabulous aga for cooking and a ninja air fryer. Every condiment you need in the cupboards and fridge. Also bags of ice in the freezer so you can downsize your packing. A nice welcome pack of milk , sweets and prosecco Super comfy beds. Wonderful views from the hot tub. Made friends with the family cats there so gentle and loving. A wonderful place we would definitely return.

Really loved this place. Its very beautiful, and has everything you need and more. We loved the location as it was peaceful and scenic and a good connection to the coast and snowdon. The hot tub was great and very well looked after and clean. Owners are next door and very helpful and welcoming. Check in was easy as was the whole stay, I cant fault it!

Another repeat visit. .. and still VERY happy with all the facilities and the surrounding area

Fantastic base for exploring the local area. The cottage was really well stocked and the hot tub was a good size. Beautiful views from the livingroom windows and from the hot tub. Would highly recommend.

Nicola

We had an amazing weekend at this property! The cottage is beautiful and is so well equipped. It is so comfortable but still has a cozy feel. The bbq and the hot tub are an added bonus as well as the friendly cats and ponies. The sunset views we had from the hot tub were fantastic. It was very clean on arrival with plenty of towels, kitchen utensils and tonnes of plates, pots and pans etc etc. We felt like we werent miss anything we would have had at home. The owners were lovely and welcoming aswell. Overall this is a fantastic property and a great base for days out on Anglesey and Snowdon. We would definitely return in the future thank you!!!

Absolutely incredible cottage. Well stocked, all the little details were there. Plenty of towels, well maintained and clean cottage and hot tub. Perfect base for all our days out and best place to come back to with the views and sunsets. Kids loved the animals. Genuinely one of the best cottages I have found and stayed in. Thank you to the owners for such a beautiful base for our first North Wales holiday.

Beautiful spacious home with stunning views This was our second stay at Wern Olau and we anticipate staying again in the future The owners are very friendly and helpful. Our children loved playing with their cats and feeding the ponys.

This a real gem! The welcome gift of a box of chocolate and a bottle of prosecco was much appreciated.The cottage is comfortable and well equipped inside and out, and is in a wonderful location with stunning views across to the sea in the distance. We enjoyed using the jaccuzi and the spa bath. Our main contact was Dewi and he could not have been more helpful. The next time we have a holiday in North Wales we will be back!

It was a great cottage, spacious, clean with everything we could have needed. Dewi was warm, warming and friendly with the perfect balance of privacy. The views from the well maintenance hot tub were amazing and we watched many sunsets. The quiet location was great, yet close to the beach amd great pubs for food. We would highly recommend booking this cottage.

Denise

Absolutely amazing everything you need is there, Comfy beds, spotlessly ... Absolutely amazing everything you need is there, Comfy beds, spotlessly clean, Not far from amenities we Loved it , Owners amazing will Definitely return 1010

Michelle

We had an amazing time at this property. Our hosts were friendly, helpful and had obviously put a lot of thought, time and effort into making this feel like a lovely place to stay. We have recommended this to friends and if we return to North Wales will stay here again.

Wern Olau is a lovely place to stay very comfortable, spacious, really well equipped and extremely well positioned. Dewi was very welcoming, offered plenty of suggestions of places to visit, and was keen that we should have a great stay. You can walk from the door along lanes and across fields, drive a couple of miles to the coast or only a little further into the mountains. Anglesey and the Llyn peninsula are easy to get to and well worth exploring. Being an 'upside down' cottage there are extensive views down to the coast and Anglesey while the sunsets were stunning. The hot tub was just 10m away with the same views. We never go back to cottages, but we may have to make an exception to Wern Olau!

Philip

We thoroughly enjoyed the property. The owners had put a lot of thought and quality into presentation of the house as well as trying to supply every convenience in equipment. The quiet location at the end of a lane to the farm would suit everyone but was ideal us.We did not use the hot tub but it should be noted is away from the house.All the places we wanted were in easy reach and we found the holiday very relaxing

Fantastic stay, quality conversation with beautiful views, very welcoming. Hot tub with great views just a stones throw away from your doorstep. Perfect base to discover the surrounding area. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely loved this place! Perfect location for exploration of north snowdownia, also easy access via car for coastal areassouth stack etc. Some lovely treats in a basket for us when we arrived, which while not expected were a lovely addition. Everything has been thought of, even things like having 2 routers for Internet for upstairs and downstairs. Everything was clean, hosts friendly, cats outside friendly. Lovely hot tub, it was also very clean I've seen them not so clean at rental properties it's located out the front, not the back that's where the view is but it's literally 15 steps from the front door, so no idea why someone moaned about this in a previous review. I'd return in a heartbeat! We were 2 adults but this place would easily accommodate 2 couples and a child or 2 couples and additional friend. Thanks!

Stavroula

We were so impressed by the quality & abundance of all the facilities at the cottage. Amazingly clean and beds were so comfortable. Decor is so tasteful and communal areas are so homely Grounds are spotless and beautiful. Every possible thing we could of needed was available. Thank you

What an absolutely stunning place ,every detail has been thought of The masted bed is one of the comfiest I have ever slept in Seriously one of the nicest places I have stayed , they literally have thought of everything The hot tub is a huge bonus too with beautiful views of the sun going down The hosts were friendly and welcoming and could not do enough for us throughout our stay 1110 on all aspects Qe will definitely be coming back to this beautiful gem Thank you

Kirsty

I searched for hours for a cottage with a hot tub next to the property and the pictures were so deceiving as the hot tub wasnt next to the property and across the owners car park who lived next door. There were people outside in the day and everyone had direct view of the hot tub so was a bit embarrassing to use for a romantic weekend. A woman and a child walked directly in front on the cottage window when I was half naked which thankfully they never saw me but I didnt expect anyone to ever be walking past the property so close. I dont think Id book a semi detached again but Id also definitely enquire about the location of the hot tub before believing images. It did ruin the whole weekend as I booked it for the hot tub o leg as we dont ever put ours on at home. The fridges needed cleaning inside and the heating never worked downstairs so had to get another radiator which made a little difference but we really did appreciate the extra heat in the cold weather.

Fantastic holiday home to totally relax in. Beautiful location, lovely rooms. Hot tub was great, friendly cat's

Miss Harriet F Clark

Perfect location, well equipped property. The bed is huge, hot tub and jacuzi bath. Friendly owners.

Cristina

Great cottage, amazing views and very helpful owners.

This was our 4th year visiting. A quiet retreat that is so well positioned for visiting North Wales.

Veronica

We were thrilled with Wern Olan cottage ! It exceeded our expectations above & beyond. The owners were lovely & really helpful. Sykes Cottages were also very helpful when I had to phone them about an error Id made when booking they resolved it quickly & efficiently. Thank you.

This is our second visit to Wern Olau. Its such a beautiful cottage with everything you would need including a lovely welcome pack and lots of little touches to make our stay perfect. Great hosts, spotlessly clean and the owners are very approachable. After a long day exploring North Wales and Snowdonia its great to come back to the hot tub and relax. We will defiantly be back again

Lindsay

We stayed in Ween Olau Cottage as a family of 4. The cottage is beautiful, we received a fabulous welcome package and the cottage was equipped with everything you could ever need. The beds are amazingly comfy, especially the master. The jacuzzi was a great addition although note it is across the drive at the front of the cottage, where from the pictures we thought it was on a balcony at the back. The views and sunsets from the jacuzzi however are fabulous. We also thought that we would have access to the large grassed garden at the back, but this belongs to the owners property next door, so there isnt anywhere for the kids to be able to play. We had a very enjoyable week, and have no hesitation in recommending the cottage, it really is lovely. You will also have the company of 3 very friendly cats which my kids loved!

Rebecca

A beautiful property in a lovely location so many places close by to visit. The spacious jacuzzi was fabulous after a day out and about.

Nicola

Excellent place couldnt fault it. Lots of space, clean and comfortable.
