Stylish and sophisticated retreat in a rural setting on the fringe of Snowdonia National Park, and just 3 miles from a well-known pub and handy shops. With plenty of space inside for socialising with friends, a big, beautiful decking, and wonderful views of the surrounding peaks, this is just the destination for a getaway with a few of your favourite people. This idyllic Welsh getaway provides an elevated hot tub with incredible views and is perfect for a group of seven seeking outdoor adventures.

After long days of mountaineering and soaking up breathtaking vistas, hit the snooze button when you return to this superb property in the Conwy Valley. Enjoy glasses of bubbles in the lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can immerse yourselves among high ceilings, exposed beams and toe-warming underfloor heating. Cook, relax and dine in style with your guests, or steal a few private moments with your book out on the decked terrace, where roaming wildlife and magnificent views are served in abundance. Across two floors, three charming bedrooms offer tired guests a restful night’s sleep. A handy mix of a super-king-size room, a double room with an en-suite, and a twin room with an en-suite makes this a fabulous choice for two families or groups of friends looking to spend quality time together. Spend blissful mornings drinking in the mountainous views from the decking while sipping your first coffee of the day. Each evening, unwind with a soak in your own private hot tub backed by the magnificent scenery.

If you can tear yourself away from this rural retreat, you’ll find plenty to do and see right from your doorstep. The property benefits from several walking trails around the grounds, or join the local footpaths to explore further. Satisfy your appetite with a trip to the medieval town of Conwy (10.5 miles) to sample delicious pub lunches, quaint tearooms and fabulous sandwich bars. While you’re here, visit Conwy Castle or try fishing on the harbour. Bird enthusiasts will be keen to go wildlife watching at Conwy RSPB Nature Reserve (9.5 miles), while experienced hikers will be itching to discover the heights of Tryfan (19 miles).

A lovely comfortable cottage, one of the best we have been to. Superb and relatively remote location amd certainly worth the climb up the long, steep track. Set near the top of the valley we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the surrounding, great for birdwatching but not being too far away from popular sightseeing destinations.

An excellent cottage. Don't be put off by the comments about the access - we were driving cars first registered in 1947 and they did it! So worth it for the incredible view. Mrs Weis was extremely helpful and our stay was a delight. Bring lots of food to eat in - you won't want to go out - no restaurant would beat that view!
