Haulfryn
Description
Haulfryn is a characterful, elevated semi-detached cottage nestled in Dolwyddelan, Conwy, offering scenic views over the Lledr river, valley, and surrounding hillsides. Ideal for families or groups of friends, this inviting retreat sits within easy reach of local amenities and lies at the heart of Snowdonia National Park—a haven for lovers of the great outdoors.
Step inside to discover a welcoming living and dining space, where you can unwind in front of the Smart TV or make use of the fibre broadband after sharing a meal around the table for six. The kitchen, naturally lit by a skylight, is well-equipped for a relaxed self-catering stay, complete with a convenient dishwasher.
Upstairs, choose from two double bedrooms, each featuring a fireplace and far-reaching views, or head to the second floor where a twin room with exposed beams and its own en-suite shower room adds a distinctive touch.
For those travelling with an electric vehicle, Haulfryn offers a 7kw Zappi EV charger, including cable and type 2 connector.
When it’s time to dine out, the nearby Elen’s Castle Hotel and Restaurant offers a warm welcome, or you can stock up at the local shop and prepare something special at home. A short drive brings you to Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog, both known for their dramatic landscapes and wealth of outdoor activities.
Thrill-seekers will find plenty to enjoy at nearby Zip World sites—Llechwedd, Forest, and Velocity 2—while nature lovers shouldn’t miss Rhaeadr Ewynnol (Swallow Falls). Further afield, the Llanberis Lake Railway and the majestic Snowdon offer unforgettable experiences for those up for a challenge.
Whether you're seeking adventure or a peaceful escape, Haulfryn provides a memorable base for your Welsh getaway.

What guests are saying
Haulfryn is a beautiful little cottage!
It’s just a short walk into the village, which has a shop and pub serving food. The accommodation is comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to cook basic meals. The outside area is lovely with a beautiful view and tables and chairs. The sun shines on the patio most of the day. The beds were generally comfortable, but are metal framed so did creak a bit. The bedding was pretty but did smell very strongly of fabric conditioner, which I found overpowering. There were a couple of minor cleaning issues and some plasters in the first aid box would be useful. That said we had a lovely week in the cottage.
What a wonderful cottage , just perfect for hubby, the dog and our friends .
The view was amazing and although what seems a busy road right outside, it was so quiet and peaceful . Mabel’s (dog) favourite place was on our lap watching the sheep across the field . We explored so many beautiful places , and this was the perfect base. Caroline ( the owner ) responded immediately with any questions we had . My personal preference would have been a downstairs loo , but that’s only because of my dodgy knees ! Mabel is a dachshund and we have stayed in places before that say enclosed gardens , that haven’t been . Mabel really couldn’t find her way out of this one, which gave us complete peace of mind, despite the busy road .She did however keep poking her nose through next doors hedge to say hello to their Jack Russell ! The stairs to the cottage and top garden and not the easiest , but it states that in the comprehensive listing so we already knew that and wasn’t phased by it at all . Every bit of information on the website regarding the cottage was accurate , which isn’t always the case . So there was no surprises for us . We will definitely be coming back again soon and would recommend anyone to spend time in this beautiful place , trust me , you won’t be disappointed .
A lovely cottage to use as a base for exploring around Snowdonia.
The benefit of an EV charger that is available to use at an additional cost was a big benefit.
