Cosy cottage features are combined to create an instantly welcoming place to stay in the beautiful North Wales countryside. On the banks of the River Conwy, this delightful abode benefits from a rural position in the Snowdonia village of Ysbyty Ifan, 8 miles from the ever-scenic village of Betws-y-Coed and 15 miles from the lively town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Whilst amenities may be a short drive away, walks and biking routes are available in abundance in the property’s vicinity making it an ideal choice for four guests hoping to get to know Snowdonia on foot or two wheels. Any couple or small family  will love relaxing in peaceful surroundings after an adventure-packed day.

Warm and welcoming from the moment you cross its threshold; this country cottage is made for year-round stays. With exposed brickwork, a hearth with a working wood burner and original beams, the lounge is the best place to spend time on a blustery winter’s eve. The kitchen/diner offers bespoke fittings and everything you need for cooking just next door, and you can choose to dine outdoors if the weather is right. The property is completed by two bedrooms and a family bathroom located just upstairs.

Along the River Conwy find stunning waterfalls at Rhaeadr Y Graig Lwyd (5 miles), just one of the endless circular walking routes offering spectacular scenery in the surrounding area. Around here you’ll also find the Ty Mawr Wybrnant (8 miles), a National Trust-maintained house that’s the birthplace of Bishop William Morgan and surrounded by pretty gardens. From here discover ancient woodlands and far-flung views of Mount Snowdon when following the Ty’n y Coed Uchaf and Cwm Eidda walk. If summiting Snowdon is something that’s on your cards, then jump in the car to reach it within 21 miles.

I cannot say enough positive comments for this cottage. Spotlessly clean, everything and more was there in the kitchen. A very welcome bottle of prosecco. Location was perfect.

We were the first guests of the new owner. Cottage was warm and bedrooms cosy. Nice location though property backed onto a derelict chapel. Attention to detail needed. Limited connectivity so make sure you are aware of this before you book as a chilly and wet weekend in Wales with two children and no TV was not fun! Some tweaks needed to be a lovelRead morey holiday stay. Hide

Warm, cosy and comfortable, with very effective heating. Shower was great with plenty of piping hot water. Cottage is well-equipped in kitchen and living areas Location is good with wide-ranging country views, and easy access to main parts of Snowdonia and the coasts.

Quirky pretty cottage. Loved the history of it. Stunning location. Village is very pretty. Great for a weekend. Not luxurious in any way but perfectly fine as a base to explore the area. Only 12 minute drive to Betws-y-Coed.

A lovely quirky little cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and used it as a base. The log burner was a nice touch. There was plenty of hot water and it was nice and cosy. The bed and sofas were extremely comfortable. We ate out in the village a couple of times which was an added bonus.

The cottage is in a lovely village and was perfect for our family and dog. There are walks on the doorstep and lots to visit nearby. Parking right outside the front door was really useful on the stormy days and the cottage was snug on the dark evenings.

We are a family of 4 with a small dog and this was a lovely cosy cottage for our 5 night stay. It is a very peaceful village setting only a mile and a half to the A5 which takes you to many options for day trips etc. The cottage itself was very well presented and had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Very friendly owners who were able to hRead moreelp us on our first day. Would definitely consider staying here again. Hide
