Brynkir Tower

Situated in a prime North Wales location in the Snowdonia National Park, Brynkir Tower is an exceptional holiday property, indeed it's really like no other property you will have stayed in – a dog-friendly Gothic folly with amazing views from every dual-aspect room, five floors and two bedrooms that can sleep a couple, a small group of friends or a family of four in unique splendour.

The tower's various floors are access by a spiral staircase, so it's not really a place for anyone of limited mobility, but for anyone else it feels like a privilege to stay here, with its pointed Gothic windows that give the feel of a fairy-tale castle (you almost feel you should see Rapunzel''s hair gliding past as you look out over the stunning countryside).  There are two beautiful bedrooms, one double, one twin, a living space with a wood-burning stove and  TV and DVD player and a kitchen with electric cooker, microwave, fridge and dishwasher and a small dining area. The top floor bathroom with its freestanding tub and shower is probably the most scenic place for ablutions that you will find, literally looking out over the canopy of trees that surround the tower.

The allow two dogs and it's a great place to bring them, with walks galore in the surrounding countryside, and you are just a short drive away from seaside towns like Criccieth, Porthmadog and Portmeirion, and classic Snowdonia locations like Beddgelert, Blenau Ffestiniog and Zipworld, and of course Snowdon itself.
