A unique, dog-friendly property that accommodates 24 people or more, Tal Y Bont Uchaf Farm makes arranging large groups to holiday together easy. Whether the occasion is a party, a wedding celebration or a gathering of family and friends, this big Bolthole has it all.

Located in the village of Tal y Bont just outside Bangor, it is easy to head onto Anglesey, into Snowdonia and Carneddau mountains or over to Conwy and the beautiful Conwy Valley.

Gather together knowing that everything can be catered for. Dine inside or out with options aplenty. Flexibility is at every corner - a large hall with an open fire, bar and sofas to settle into for a great catch up. A huge dining room with seating for all and a grand piano on standby for the talented amongst you or for a musician chosen to accompany your celebration. With two large, fully equipped kitchens for chefs to choose between, there's plenty of space to cook expansive meals to feed all or to hand over to caterers when needed.

Head outside to the covered dining and dancing area with its own bar and fairy lights ready to add magical light to smiles and laughter. For a secret gathering, a magical bbq hut nestles quietly on the grounds, with lights and a grill ready for a feast with a difference. A touch of the Lord of the Rings without the Orcs - a dull moment we will not have. A wood-fired hot tub and outside decking add a touch of luxury for warm evenings and there is plenty of space for little people to run around.

For larger celebrations, marquees can be arranged and caterers recommended by the owner. And with access to incredible chefs, given time and planning, a perfect celebration can be arranged.

Accommodation galore surrounds each celebratory space so sleepy children can be put to bed knowing you are all nearby. Family rooms, king-sized beds, shared bathrooms, a private cottage, bunk beds, single beds, platform beds, baths and showers with a difference to bring a smile to all. With plenty of parking for all, life couldn’t be easier. And with stunning views across to Penrhyn Castle and up onto the Carneddau mountains, this is a location fit for a King and Queen and all their courtiers.

Located with Snowdonia in mind but a short hop from the beaches of Anglesey, enjoyment is compulsory when staying here. Arrange a day at Zip World, climb Snowdon or race the others to the top on the mountain train. Arrange nighttime paddleboarding on Llyn Padarn with Psyched Paddleboarding, explore beaches, and learn to surf at Adventure Parc Snowdonia or with Gecko in Rhosneigr. For those who party with endurance, catch the rising sun as it crosses Snowdonia - a moment in time you will never forget. Why not add a photographer so you can be "in the moment", captured for the book of memories?

For a slower, quieter pace, less than two miles away is Penrhyn Castle, a 19C fantasy castle owned by the National Trust. There is a walled garden to lose yourself in, ample grounds set in spectacular surroundings and full to the brim with fascinating historical items. Plas Cadnant Gardens in Menai Bridge are a must-do for garden lovers and there are gentle coastal walks rich in bird life directly from the farm out along Morfa Lafan.

Make memories at Tal Y Bont Uchaf Farm and enjoy quality time away with family and friends in this beautiful big Bolthole.
