  • Great location, just metres from the picturesque river and shops
  • Traditional Welsh cottage in a quiet road just off the main street
  • Enclosed garden, with heated storage for outdoor gear and bikes
Property code: OC-WAG474

This traditional Welsh cottage is right in the heart of Betws-y-Coed - known as the gateway to Eryri - Snowdonia – and, as expected, you’ll have a fantastic range of walks, cycle trails, and outdoor activities on your doorstep. The property sleeps three guests and suits both couples and small families. After a day of adventure, return to your cute cottage to dine in the private garden overlooking the valley.

The semi-detached cottage is made from local stone and has a slate roof. The property is simply but comfortably furnished throughout.  The bright lounge/diner has a dining table and seating to relax on after a long walk, to chat about your day or watch TV. The basic kitchen is a joy to cook in, thanks to its lovely garden views, and also has a little breakfast table where you can sit with a morning coffee. Upstairs, via the open plan stairs, is a single and a double bedroom, along with a small shower room, which round off the accommodation. Outside, you’ll find a heated utility room, which is perfect for storing bikes or drying your outdoor gear. An private, enclosed garden provides the ideal spot for al fresco dining on the patio, surrounded by breath taking scenery.

Betws-y-Coed has a distinct alpine vibe, surrounded by mountains and the dense Gwydyr Forest. Walkers and climbers will be in their element here, you are just a short drive from the paths up Yr Wyddfa- Snowdon, and you can also get the heart racing on a visit to Zip World Fforest, just 2 miles away. After an action-packed day, refuel in one of the village’s cosy pubs or bistros, which serve a delicious range of locally-sourced food. Further afield, the vibrant town of Conwy is 15.5 miles away, with its medieval castle, bustling quay and marina, and fantastic collection of independent shops and eateries.

Manaros is a very comfortable cottage in a fabulous location for all the amenities of Betws-y-coed. We found it to be an excellent base for exploring Snowdonia, and there are many opportunities to participate in activities that do not even require driving further afield. While it operated on a limited time table, the journeys from the local stationRead more were a great way to enjoy a picturesque train ride. We would highly recommend Manaros as a great place for a holiday. Hide

A comfortable cottage right in the heart of Betws y Coed. The parking space a real bonus. Great shower. Comfortable bed. The location and scenery is just stunning with lovely woodland river walks from the door. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful Snowdonian village. Was clean and fresh (not tired like at least one review suggests). A bit of everything supplied (toilet paper, soap, dishwasher tabs etc). Owner was quickly contactable when toaster tripped the electrics. Beds couldve been a little firmer. Parking is ok when you know where it is (just a feRead morew doors down on the right heading out of village). All in all very happy with our stay. Hide

The property is in the most fantastic location, in the heart of the village and close to shops and walks and the village is beautiful. Sadly the cottage did not live up to expectations. It is very tired, everything sort of worked but in poor condition. The kitchen had an odd layout, self catering but not a single cupboard or side to put food foRead morer storage apart from a window sill. The cutlery and crockery were all visibly dirty and needed washing before use. The kitchen is in need of a deep clean and the small breakfast table was rusty and rickety, just all in poor condition. The beds were reasonably comfortable, the mattress in the spare room had a lot of stains on it and no waterproof covering to protect it. The garden boasted beautiful views on the summary online, poorly maintained garden with overgrown trees meaning there was no view. Thats not a problem that there is no view but not really a selling point as I was looking forward to this. The stair case has no spindles on it and open, this is a family friendly cottage and this was very disappointing to see when we were travelling with a small child. The blinds in the property, especially in the spare bedroom do not meet legal requirements, again sad to see and a complete oversight of the property owner to not make sure the property is in full legal order before letting out. Our holiday was not spoilt by this stay but it certainly wasnt a home from home with beautiful views as the listing suggests. Hide

Lovely little cottage in a great location, we felt little Tlc maybe is needed with some decorating as it was looking a little tired. We loved our cottage and would come back again if it was taken care of. Agency comment - the property has now been redecorated

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Manaros as we find it ideal for walking into the village and local walks. Lovely comfortable cottage, had an issue with the Freesat box but immediately the owner ordered an updated new one and the lovely caretaker & husband came the day after and installed it, big thank you!

The property was lovely and perfect for our stay, we loved the location and would definitely stay again. Our only quibble would be some of the kitchen utensils and pans were not very clean and not everything listed was provided e.g. laundry detergent (there was a pot but it was empty). These are only minor things and did not make our stay any less Read moreenjoyable and would not stop us from returning. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we hope to come again soon. Hide

We were disappointed, with the cottage being so cold, knowing we were arriving at 16:00 on the 17th April, we would have appreciated, if heating was put on ready, as it also Smelt damp ! Which wasn't at all welcoming. The fact that we paid quite a lot of money for 5 day stay, there was, only one and half toilet rolls left for our use, very sparing Read morecleaning products for toilet too ! We have been on many cottage holidays, this one was quite disappointing, there was no welcome hamper either ! To top it all, the neighbour across the road, were doing building repairs which were extremely noisy the entire time we were there, they were also erecting scaffolding, the noise was deafening....
