About this property
Llanrwst 1 mile; Betws-y-Coed 3 miles.
A superb, detached stone-built cottage situated in a truly idyllic woodland position on the edge of the Gwydir Forest and only 300 yards from Gwydir Castle, within the Snowdonia National Park. The property enjoys over three hundred years of history and retains many original features including two foot thick stone walls, inglenook fireplaces and beamed ceilings. More recently it has been sympathetically modernised to an exceptionally high standard and offers every modern comfort. Visitors will also enjoy the sunny garden and the sound of nearby waterfalls. Betws-y-Coed, with its many amenities, is three miles away.
Betwys-Y-Coed is the most popular holiday destination in North Wales. When you take a look at what it has to offer, it's easy to see why. The town is, quite literally, the Gateway to Snowdonia, a breathtaking National Park comprising 832 square miles of the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside in North Wales. The whole region is a haven for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts and there are also a variety of outdoor activities including cycling, mountain walks and horse riding. The River Conwy also plays host to many fishermen and boaters who enjoy the tranquillity and beautiful scenery. Bets-Y-Coed is well served by shops and restaurants, making it the perfect base from which to explore the area.

Gwydir Forest and a beautiful waterfall right on your doorstep. The house is very cosy and spacious, with loads of character. Well equipped kitchen and modern appliances. All the beds were comfy and warm. The downstairs bedroom had a bit of a damp smell to start with, but once the cottage heated up it disappeared- you have to expect a bit of damp with a 300+ year old stone cottage! Plenty of parking outside and easy to find. Tip: bring fat balls to see lots of birds in the garden - we could have watched the woodpeckers all day.

There were only 2 of us so the bathroom facilities were OK but might be limited for bigger groups. And it is an older cottage so there are steps, quirky stairs and a bit of mustiness. The garden is lovely with plenty of birds to watch and the local curry house is a very good option during power cuts! We enjoyed the goodies left by the owners and had a really fun and relaxing 2 weeks.

The cottage is beautiful inside and out, clean, comfortable with everything you need. The garden is perfect, surrounded by trees, nature and the sound of the waterfall. We will be back next year.
