Property code: OC-WAG576

This delightfully renovated cottage is nestled within glorious Eryri (Snowdonia National Park). This stunning location is in the heart of the mountains with walking from the door, a nearby lake for watersports and swimming plus a bus stop outside for buses to the start of footpaths up Yr Wyddfa- Snowdon.

Feel at home right away in this smart practical terraced cottage. Cosy furnishings, modern appliances and delightful features combine to create a retreat that you’ll never want to leave. The wood burner, set in a traditional Welsh fireplace, welcomes frosty toes after a day of hiking the mountains, whilst a spacious and light filled kitchen/diner invites your head chef to get creative with supper. Serve up on the table laid for six, or plate up alfresco and bask in the sun’s warmth overlooking the expansive grass area surrounding the property. Marvel at the mountainous vistas from your bedroom window before setting your head down on the pillow, dreaming of tomorrow’s escapades. In the morning, grab your walking gear and puppy lead from the handy utility room, and take a stroll around the local area before returning a lazy breakfast in the sunshine.

Walkers and climbers will be in their element in this property. Leading straight from the doorstep, soak up breath-taking panoramas while venturing up the popular mountain of Moel Siabod or over to the lakes of Crafnant and Geirionydd. Alternatively, climb the highest mountain in Wales, Yr Wyddfa, (Snowdon), which is easily accessed by the regular bus that stops directly outside the cottage. If you fancy exploring the local villages, Betws-y-Coed (6 miles) is a lively spot for walkers and mountain bikers, with a range of boutiques, restaurants and bars to choose from. Keen photographers may want to frame the picturesque cascades of Swallow Falls, less than 4 miles away.

The perfect place to return to each day on an active outdoor holiday. A warm hallway with plenty of space to hang wet gear - and it was all dry by the morning - a big kettle and big mugs!

We had a lovely stay here. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and finished to a very high standard. Unfortunately we had to leave earlier than planned due to family matters back home, which was a real shame as we would have loved to stay longer. The location is perfect for walking and hiking, with shops just a short drive away. We would happily stayRead more again and would definitely recommend it to others. Hide

Nicely appointed and roomy cottage in, for us at least, the perfect location. Everything was clean and lots of well-written and actually helpful instructions on how to use facilities in the cottage. Was warm enough without need to use the log burner. Will stay there again when we need accomodation in that area.

Lovely cottage in an amazing location for exploring Snowdonia. The Slate Trail is right on the doorstop, as is the stop for the Sherpa bus to get you into the mountains. Parking can be tricky if you have a larger vehicle, but the public car park is very convenient if necessary. Fantastic outdoor clothing shop right next door!

Well appointed cottage in a great location perfect for family of 4. Modern and spacious interior meant we had plenty of space and could chill out without being on top of each other at the end of a long day in the mountains. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Excellent location, very convenient for exploring the Snowdonia national park. Spacious cottage, with big kitchen and dining area. The utility area is very useful too for taking off muddy boots, wet coats or shopping.

The cottage was clean and had the essentials. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable unfortunately. The other negative component was the parking situation - one parking space was listed in the ad and home information brochure, however when we arrived the parking space was taken. After speaking with the neighbour the next day, we were told thatRead more there isn't really a parking space for the cottage. Otherwise the cottage was in a good location for travelling to nearby areas. Hide

Spacious, well-equipped, and with great views to Moel Siabod. The skylights in the kitchen made all the difference when we were staying in.
