About this property
Hafanedd is a welcoming pet-friendly house in the heart of Betws-y-Coed, nestled within the magnificent landscapes of Conwy and Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). Sleeping up to six guests, this charming retreat is ideal for families and friends seeking outdoor adventures, scenic walks and easy access to the village's popular amenities, boasting a nearby river and toasty woodburning stove. From the moment you arrive, the setting places you right at the centre of one of North Wales' most celebrated destinations, with woodland trails, shops, restaurants and riverside strolls all waiting just beyond the doorstep. After finding a roadside parking space on the main road, make your way up the slate steps and pause for a moment on the bench at the front of the property, where views stretch across to the river opposite.
A lawned area sits to the side, adding a pleasant outdoor spot to enjoy a morning coffee before heading out to explore. Step through the lovely pink front door and into a characterful holiday home that blends thoughtful touches with practical spaces for a memorable stay. The kitchen/diner provides a wonderful social hub, with seating for six guests around the dining table and an archway leading through to the well-equipped kitchen space. White units create a bright feel, while views of ferns and moss within the garden bring a touch of greenery to the room. Whether you're preparing a hearty breakfast before tackling a mountain trail, popping snacks into the air fryer for a quick lunch, or loading the dishwasher after an evening meal, everything is set up to make holiday living easy.
A hot tap offers added convenience, while the double electric oven, hob, microwave and fridge/freezer ensure cooking for the group is a pleasure. Moving into the hallway, the quarry-tiled floor adds character beneath your feet before leading into the utility room, where the washing machine and tumble dryer are ready for muddy walking gear after a day exploring the national park. When it's time to relax, settle into the sitting room, where a woodburning stove sits within a brick fireplace, creating a welcoming focal point on cooler evenings. Stretch out on the sofa with a favourite film projected from your own device, or better still, read a book or gather together to play board games whilst you plan the next day's adventures.
Climb the staircase, where exposed timbers, feature lighting and framed pictures celebrating the local area accompany your journey upstairs. The family bathroom offers the option of a leisurely soak in the bath before bed. Nearby, a double bedroom showcases a striking forest-themed feature wall, while the twin room enjoys views to the front of the property. The king-size bedroom provides an attractive space to retire to, complete with a feature wooden wall, decorative fireplace and an en-suite shower room with heated towel rail for added comfort. Outside, the side lawn provides room to sit and enjoy the surroundings, while the river opposite creates a lovely backdrop.
Better still, guests can leave the car behind and walk directly from the front door into nearby woodlands, browse the village's independent shops, or enjoy a meal in one of the local restaurants and pubs. Betws-y-Coed offers plenty to discover, including the cascading waters of Swallow Falls, the scenic woodland trails of Gwydir Forest Park and peaceful walks around Llyn Elsi, where elevated viewpoints reveal sweeping mountain vistas. A short drive brings you to Llanrwst, home to the historic Pont Fawr bridge, the famous Tu Hwnt i'r Bont tearoom with its ivy-covered exterior, and Parc Gwydir's riverside setting. Venture to Blaenau Ffestiniog for an unforgettable day out, where Zip World Llechwedd delivers high-speed adventures, Llechwedd Slate Caverns reveal the area's industrial heritage, and the Ffestiniog Railway journeys through spectacular mountain scenery.
Wherever your adventures lead, Hafanedd is perfectly placed to enjoy the best of North Wales.
Betws-y-Coed, known as the Gateway to Snowdonia, is North Wales' most popular inland resort. Surrounded by dense woodland and magnificent mountain country, this is a haven for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. At Betws-y-Coed the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, and the beauty of the area is enhanced by cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges. Most famous of all are the magnificent Swallow Falls, situated where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a spectacular chasm. The village has shops, pubs, places to eat, miniature railway, a riverside golf course and the Tree Top Adventure High Ropes Course, and is home to The Snowdonia National Park Visitor Centre, as well as being the start of the beautiful Conwy Valley which leads to the coast and the lovely towns of Llandudno and Conwy.
