Coed Derw Isaf

This is our second visit at Coed Derw Isaf and it was just how we remembered it, clean, bright and homely.

The property is big enough to give everyone their own space but cozy enough to have some fab together time. We had some brilliant family meals around that amazing dinning table and movie nights after days in the mountains. It's so well placed for everything Wales has to offer, mountains, lakes, beaches, towns and villages, all a short walk or drive away. I highly recommend this property to all, contrary to everything in being which is telling me to keep this place secret!

We’ve been visiting this beautiful part of the world for over 20 years, and Coed Derw Isaf is without doubt the best house we’ve rented in all that time.

The layout of the property is excellent, making it feel both spacious and cosy. It’s set in a lovely aspect, with a nice garden that’s perfect for relaxing in after a day out walking. We also really appreciated the location – it’s just the right distance from the village: close enough for convenience, but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. A truly relaxing stay – we will definitely be back!

Great house in wonderful location.

Comfortable, clean and equipped with everything needed for a break away with friends and a dog. So many different birds seen and heard from the garden and lots of walks in nearby area. Easy communication with friendly and helpful owners. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this house, it worked really well for 6 adults and would have been equally as good for 8.

The hanging areas for putting jackets and boots was handy for wet weather, good showers, bed a little bit firm for me, but that's a personal thing and not a criticism. Kitchen was very well stocked, really easy to cook in, dining table was lovely for us all to chat at and play games. Just perfect.

Great house with fantastic facilities, very clean good number of bathrooms and all 4 four bedrooms of a good size plenty of space for 7 Adults plus 1 dog celebrating my sons 30th Birthday, directions to property first class ,great location for walks and adventure its 10 mins walk to the spar/bakery for supplies, being very picky my only word of caution would be that the walk to the town is for adults not young children we will return .

Lovely property with nice big lounge and dining room.

Easily accommodated our group of eight. Good walks straight from the front door and only five minutes walk into the village.

I leave this review with a huge level of reluctance.

.. as I want to keep it my little secret. :) Coed Derw Isaf is a real gem. We started our holiday with all the family and when everyone drifted back to work, my wife and I chilled out for the rest of our say. Coed Derw Isaf felt like home when it was full of family or just the two of us. We wanted for nothing. Our hosts ensured we had a lovely welcome and all our needs were catered for. Beautifully decorated throughout and loads of room to spread out and relax. Positioned within walking distance of the lovely Betws-y-Coed and a short drive from the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia Eryri national park you are well placed for a great holiday. I highly recommend Coed Derw Isaf and can't wait to return.

Amazing weekend at such a beautiful cottage.

The place was a perfect getaway for a long weekend.

Ideally situated, pleasantly quiet and easily accommodated us. Really felt like a home away from home.

Exactly the cottage we needed for our holiday in Wales.

Set in a quiet location but within walking distance of the village this property was ideal for us. There are walks from the door but also plenty of walks within a thirty minute drive. The cottage is clean, well equipped with a lovely garden for relaxing after those long, uphill walks. The bedrooms are light and airy with really comfortable beds and the showers are some of the best we've ever used. There was no space available in the kitchen for our shopping as all the cupboards were full and the low backed sofas and chairs were a little uncomfortable. Neither of these two things was insurmountable and in now way spoilt our stay. We are already planning our return to Coed Derw Isaf and would highly recommend this property. Thank you Sara and Pete for being lovely hosts.

The property was very near perfect.

Very cleanly decorated and well equipped. Ideally located just out of town so it was nice and quiet. We were six walkers coming back from wet winter walks and there was always plenty of hot water to satisfy our showers. The gardens were tidy and well maintained and would be wonderful in spring and summer. The only two negatives were the key box. We had difficulty every time as it was very fiddily to open. Secondly a tumble dryer for drying our walking kit would have been very helpful. Not insurmountable but better than cluttering up radiators.

Fantastic house with everything you could possibly ever need !

Lovely decor throughout. I cannot praise this listing enough !! Would definitely return.

A real "Home from Home", everything We needed and more!

It was a perfect location in idyllic surroundings. Sara and Pete were on hand if needed, it was wonderful to have a chat and say thankyou face to face before we left when Sara came to say goodbye. 100% we would recommend Coed Derw Isaf, and will hopefully be back again.

Had a great stay at Coed Derw Isaf.

A lovely home in pretty surroundings with most shops a short walk away. Due to a medical emergency we under occupied by 4 people but this would accommodate 8 people with ease. I was fortunate enough to have the master bedroom which was a pleasure to stay in including the vast bathroom which I swam in several times. My only moan would be the mattresses in both of the larger rooms, as all four of us using these 2 rooms were not sleeping very well and aching quite a bit throughout the week. Maybe time to replace the mattresses. However, saying that I'll be back in a heartbeat as my brother lives close by and we intend to try again with another family get together. Thank you, but I do urge you to test drive your bed for a night, xx

Fantastic property the rooms are large and extremely comfortable everything you could want large fridge freezer plenty of storage log burner etc.

8 of us stayed . Set in lovely area and garden is large 5 minute walk into Betws-y-Coed which is also lovely. Plenty of walks in and around the area we visited zip world at Penrhyn quarry also zip world in betws-y-coed a must if you have kids can't recommend the property highly enough amazing Thank you Sara

The property and the area was beautiful.

Even with the excessive rain the waterfalls and rivers were magnificent and amazing. We forgot to sign the book on departure but everything about the property was first class and very comfortable. Thank you, we would visit again.

A beautiful, comfortable and immaculately clean cottage in a lovely setting close to the village.

The gardens are well kept with plenty of areas for sitting outside and lots of space to park several cars. The lounge is large with space for everyone to sit together and there is lots of equipment provided in the kitchen for meals to be prepared. We enjoyed visiting many places in the area and would love to return to do more. The owners are very responsive to any issues.

Very nicely decorated and clean.

Very relaxing and comfortable to return to after a day walking

What a wonderful house!

We had a great time as a whole family with four generations all together ranging from 84yrs to 9months… everyones needs were catered for - from a walk in wet room for my elderly mother to a cot and highchair for my littlest munchkin!! Lots of space for the children to run and crawl around and plenty of seating for the adults to all be together either inside or out. And the welcome basket was a wonderful touch to start our holiday. Thank you.

The cottage is absolutely lovely.

It had all the facilities we needed and was beautifully presented. Thank you so much for an excellent stay!

It did get very cold during the day time.

The heating wouldn't turn on and we couldnt contact the owner using the number given in the welcome pack.

the cottage more than met our expectations.

The location of the cottage was ideal and offered the peace and quiet we wanted yet close to shops and restaurants. It is an ideal location for exploring Northern Snowdonia. The cottage was extremely well equipped for ones needs and the owners had spared no expense in the furnishing and equipment provided. I would definitely recommend the property to those wanting that extra bit of luxury. One point to note beware the stags head coat hooks they can bite!

We had an amazing stay over Christmas 2022.

The cottege was perfect and had absolutely everything you could think of. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The owners had great communication before and during our stay, they decorated the cottege with Christmas decorations, left us a lovely hamper and even left a Christmas present for my little boy. I would absolutely recommend here and we would love to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Coed Derw Isaf.

There was absolutely everything we needed plus extras like cling film, toilet roll etc. We wouldn't want anything to be different.

Beautiful Cottage.

Absolutely Immaculate nice location great surroundings. Would stay there again.

Spacious, comfortable and with a lovely garden the house was perfect for a multi-generational holiday.

A perfect location to explore the very best of North Wales.

Amazing property, great location, everything was thought of.

All equipment was available. Only one thing we noticed were the mattresses were somewhat hard in all rooms. Would recommend and would return. Thank you ever so much

Amazing, spacious property in a lovely scenic location on the outskirts of Betws-y-coed.

Everything you could need for an outdoor activity holiday is provided. The owners were great, even being considerate enough to bring candles to the property during storm Franklin in case the area suffered a power cut. Would definitely book again Dr Andy Skyrme
