Ty Capel is an interesting stone holiday cottage located in Bryntwrog, Gwynedd, Wales, originally built in 1861 as a Chapel House. This delightful accommodation has been modernized to offer a comfortable retreat for up to six guests, while still retaining its historical features such as beamed ceilings, sash windows, original floorboards, and a cozy wood burner. Set in a serene countryside environment near the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, guests can enjoy easy access to scenic cycle routes, picturesque lakes, breathtaking views of Snowdonia, and numerous walking trails.
The interior of Ty Capel boasts an open-plan living space that seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas. The kitchen is well-equipped with essential appliances, including an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, and toaster, making it ideal for preparing meals. A round dining table accommodates six people comfortably, while the inviting seating area features plush sofas arranged around a multi-fuel stove, providing warmth and a cozy ambiance. French doors open onto a patio that leads to a spacious back garden, perfect for outdoor relaxation.
In addition to the main living area, Ty Capel offers a separate snug that serves as a delightful retreat. This room features an original bookcase stocked with books focused on local interest, maps, and a selection of adult and children's fiction, alongside games and a TV for entertainment. Guests will find this snug to be an inviting space to unwind and enjoy some quiet time away from the main living areas.
Upstairs, visitors will find three comfortable bedrooms: one double room, one twin room, and a room with full-sized bunk beds, making it suitable for families or groups. A family bathroom is also located on this floor, equipped with a bath and shower, a toilet, a wash hand basin, and a heated towel rail for added comfort. Outside, the cottage features a small enclosed courtyard at the front and a large lawned garden at the back, complete with a patio area, garden furniture, and a picnic bench. Ample parking is available, and for larger parties, there is the option to rent the adjacent Capel Bach, which accommodates seven additional guests.
