This gorgeous property, nestled in a courtyard past the owner’s home, is the perfect bolthole for two. Sleeping you both in a comfortable double bed, this wonderful cottage is an opportunity to relax and unwind in a stunning part of Wales with breathtaking scenery all around. Head to Bala Lake for the day (10.5 miles) where you can sail, canoe, wild swim or simply take lakeside walks before returning home. Spend the evening dining alfresco looking out across the hills, then enjoy a soak in the hot tub under the stars.

The property, which is a former stable, is spacious and welcoming with plenty of natural light. The full aspect window in the open-plan living area ensures you can take in those amazing views, while neutral decor with pops of colour in the furniture creates a cosy vibe to relax in. Watch some TV on the sofa or cook up a storm and eat in the contemporary kitchen area; if you’re feeling sociable, head to the shared games barn for pool, table tennis or darts. Upstairs, a tranquil double bed awaits among soft dressing gowns and towels; indulge in a sumptuous shower in the stylish en-suite before snuggling into bed.

Head off to Betws-y-Coed (14 miles) where you’ll find historic bridges, waterfalls and plenty of outdoor activities to take part in. The National White Water Centre (7.5 miles) is also a must for adrenaline junkies. History buffs will enjoy a wander around Ty Mawr Wybrnant (14 miles) which is a stone-built farmhouse that tells the story of how the Welsh lived and has wonderful views of the Conwy Valley. Take a horse-drawn boat trip along the canal or a motorised aqueduct cruise from Llangollen Wharf (20 miles) for a tranquil afternoon.

The cottage was superb, such a glorious location. The peace and quiet were very welcomed, so pleasant to have the sound of bleating sheep as a background!

Lovely cottage and really well equipped. We wanted for nothing as everything was supplied. The hot tub was a lovely break in the early evening, and the games room was a lovely addition. We will definitely return.

Beautiful setting with all amenities you need, lovely games room and plenty to do on rainy days if you dont want to go out. The hot tub was a great addition, such a chilled and relaxing experience.

We stayed here for a week in Kestrel Cottage. We chose it as the design and layout of the cottage looked lovely, and a hot tub and beautiful views. Primarily for us, the hot tub is cleaned and refilled between guests so couldn't be cleaner. Our bedroom had a door that led straight down to the hot tub, which was very convenient and felt private. TheRead more cottage was very clean and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need including excellent facilities to prepare and cook a meal. Hide

It was a lovely place to stay. It was set in beautiful surroundings and very quiet. The cottage was cosy, warm and a nice place to relax in. The hot tub was great. I was sad we didn't spot the Tawny Owls but were never up early enough. Would definitely go again. Lots of walks in the area to enjoy. Thanks for making the start of 2025 a good one.

We stayed for 4 nights and had the most wonderful time, we couldn't fault anything. It was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was remote so really peaceful, but easy to drive to all the nearby landmarks and attractions. The hot tub was the perfect addition to the cottage and such a treat afterRead more a busy day out and about. The games room was a bonus. We want to come back soon when we tackle Snowdon again and look forward to the hot tub!! Hide

We had a fantastic stay here! Friendly hosts, couldnt do more! We made great use of the games room (especially the table tennis) and our own private hot tub! The views were amazing and there was lots we packed in in the few days we were there. We would recommended a drive into the lovely Betws-y-Coed and a trip to Llyn Brenig.
