Beautiful cottage in the heart of Betws-y-coed. Very clean and everything you need for a home from home experience. Lovely log fire for a cosy night in after a day out. Lots of birds in the garden which we enjoyed watching. Close to restaurants and bars and lots of lovely local walks. I little disappointed that the summer house was locked as it would of been lovely to sit in during the rain. Please be aware that parking is on the main road and you can't park right outside the property due to double yellow lines, we managed to park about 9 houses away but not sure if spaces would be available during the summer.

This is our second year at Squirrel Cottage and we hope to stay for many to come! The cottage was spotless, very cosy and homely and has all the kitchen equipment and utensils you could ever need! The area is stunning, a perfect base for exploring all that North Wales has to offer.Whilst there is no specific parking, we have never had an issue being able to park along the side of the road and a short walk down to the cottage. Loads of local amenities on your doorstep and wonderful food choices!
