Great little cottage in a perfect setting right under Snowdon and in beautiful scenic surroundings ! Cosy and comfortable with a great garden leading straight out onto walking paths and out the front onto the popular route to Beddgelert through the forest. 20 mins drive to a perfect clean beach Grugfan cottage is a gem

The cottage was very comfortable and was extremely well equipped. The garden was kept beautifully and led straight out onto one of the paths to Snowdonia, with lots of lovely sheep and lambs right the by gate. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom modern. Owe would definitely stay again.

Climbed Snowdon via the rangers path and views were amazing. Local pub had good food and staff were friendly . Good local bus service if you don't want to drive ideal base for walkers and for anyone wanting to experience Snowdon and North Wales.
