We are the largest independent holiday letting company in North Wales. At Dioni we have a passion for the people, culture, language, countryside & coast. We have great local knowledge and understanding of each specific area and property. We are looking for a sense of authenticity when we take on a new holiday cottage. Seeking a real ‘place’ ~ somewhere with distinctive heritage and culture, which connects with the region’s unique landscapes, food and people.

Bryncaled is a two bedroom barn conversion near Chwilog a beautiful and rural part of the Llyn peninsula. The sun was shining and the neighbouring farmer was haymaking when we visited... [Read more...]

There is one farmhouse nearby but apart from that, this ground floor barn conversion is surrounded by green fields on all sides. The area is a stronghold for the Welsh language and the cottage offers a true taste of rural Wales. The village of Chwilog is just over a mile away. The village has one pub, The Madryn, a post office and a small corner shop for papers, etc. The popular harbour town of Pwllheli and its boating marina is 5 miles away and the very fashionable seaside town of Abersoch a little further on again. These seaside destinations are a must for all guests naturally. (Don’t forget to try the ice cream at ‘Cadwaladers’ when you get to Criccieth.) But the real advantage of staying in this cottage is the fact that the mountains of Snowdonia are also so accessible. Snowdon itself is only a short drive away and the area now offers an abundance of activities for all. Centres for white water rafting, mountain biking, and rock climbing are fast making Snowdonia the place for adrenaline junkies. More leisurely and cultural pastimes are also available naturally. The area is littered with historic monuments and castles. Criccieth is the nearest, with Caernarfon and Conwy castle all within an hour's drive. The gardens at Bodnant are also well worth a visit for visitors to this ground floor barn conversion, as are the art galleries in Llanbedrog and Llangefni.
