“A very nice cosy cottage tucked away in a quiet and peaceful location but just a few yards to all the amenities of the town.”

The owners were very pleasant and left some delicious scones, jam and cream which we enjoyed following our three hour drive to the property.

David January 2025

“The accommodation was 'adequate'.”

Much smaller than we were expecting, the pictures on the Sykes website differed from the reality (in particular the bathroom and the furnishings) leading to being somewhat disappointed. Kitchen facilities were basic, some of which were not very clean. Overall cleanliness wasn't up to much. On a positive note, the location was perfect. Also, the bed was very comfortable (the most comfortable part of the whole cottage).

“Perfect week away.”

We had a lovely welcome from the hosts at this beautiful cottage - especially the scones with jam & cream on arrival. The cottage was secluded which equalled peace & quiet. It was gorgeous inside & out, with everything you could possibly need to make any stay amazing, with a comfy bed too. It was a perfect base after day trips and local walks. We hope to stay again, and will be recommending the cottage to friends and family.

“Great stay in oak cottage, very cozy, quite, and overall an ideal cottage for two.”

The position of the cottage could not be better to tour North Wales and also ideal position in Betswy-y-coed a wonderful village with plenty going on. Only thing we found was the sofa could do with being replaced It seems to be going a bit flat but this is a minor gripe. Overall we enjoyed our stay in Oak cottage and would recommend to anyone wanting to explore North Wales.

About the location

BETWS-Y-COED

Llanrwst 4 miles; Blaenau Ffestiniog 11 miles.

Betws-y-Coed, known as the Gateway to Snowdonia, is North Wales' most popular inland resort. Surrounded by dense woodland and magnificent mountain country, this is a haven for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. At Betws-y-Coed the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, and the beauty of the area is enhanced by cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges. Most famous of all are the magnificent Swallow Falls, situated where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a spectacular chasm. The village has shops, pubs, places to eat, miniature railway, a riverside golf course and the Tree Top Adventure High Ropes Course, and is home to The Snowdonia National Park Visitor Centre, as well as being the start of the beautiful Conwy Valley which leads to the coast and the lovely towns of Llandudno and Conwy.
