Beautiful cottage just outside of Betws-y-coed that makes getting around to Snowdon or local amenities like Zip world, Go below, LLandudno, lots or waterfalls, etc, nice and easy. It's a great location just off the A5. but completely secluded and peaceful. The views in and around the area are of course spectacular.The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, cosy and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Hairdryer, soaps, spongers/cloths, utensils, dishwasher, etc. Even condiments like olive oil, salt, pepper and vinegar. As mentioned in the description, it is on a bit of a hill and not really suitable if you have mobility issues, there are a fair few steps that can get slippery if wet as they are slate but there is a sturdy hand rail to assist. The pool table, dart board and football table were a great additions and kept us entertained for hours in the evenings. They are a little tired, but fully functionable and were great fun. Beds were firm and comfy.There is a field with horses in the back which was a nice surprise, especially as there were some young foals with them. The garden is well kept with lots of flowering shrubbery. If I had to try to find any criticism it would be that the sofa wasn't the comfiest, the garden furniture could do with a refresh and a cover from the elements to help prolong it, and that the games were a bit tired as per above. The bathroom taps are also quite stiff and are close to the wall so difficult to turn, but not to the point they are a major issue. Not a deal breaker in any shape or form. Thoroughly enjoyable stay and will 100% be back.

We had the best holiday ever. We struggled to figure how to start fire but that’s what YouTube is for. It was so beautiful and quiet. I can’t fault it. I can’t wait to go next year
