“We stayed for a week over Easter at the brilliant Station Flat with our 7 children (aged 11 - 1.”

5) and they loved every minute of it! Very well located with decent amenities, shops, restaurants and takeaways all close by. Easy access to trains and buses to venture further afield and visit family. We were traveling without a car this time and, despite some stormy weather, we were still easily able to get about. A few teething problems early on with hot water but the owners were instantly available to help see us through (despite being away themselves). We will definitely return. Many thanks ...

“This is our third visit to Station Flat and it never fails to impress.”

The spacious flat itself is well equipped and feels like a home from home. Kay, the owner, is very good with correspondence and quick to reply to emails. The location of the flat is just perfect for families or groups as it caters to different interests. There are great dining out opportunities in the village, plenty of shops to browse and walks for all abilities on the doorstep. The teenagers were able to catch the train to other places without relying on taxi driving parents, an added bonus! We will be back again in the future.

“Amazing property - it’s in the perfect location and has everything you need an more for your stay.”

Our three kids loved it, especially the games room and the long corridor and the comms with owner were fab :)

Vanessa August 2022

“Station Flat was absolutely lovely.”

It was exactly as described. The flat was spotlessly clean and had everything inside that we needed. We are a family of 3, so ideal for us. The location is beyond perfect - we thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the spacious terrace watching the world go by! Lots to do, places to go for every age group. Would thoroughly recommend.

Mary October 2021

“Station Flat was, as always, spotlessly clean and well equipped.”

All fittings and furnishings are in very good condition . The kitchen has everything I would expect and more making cooking/baking stress free. Station Flat is ideally located for our family with teenagers and younger child with easy access to shops and public transport as well as many local walks. Communications from the owner is excellent.

- Mary, October 2021
Helen September 2021

“The manager of the property Kay was brilliant with great communication and gave us all of the information we needed to enjoy our stay.”

The position of the flat is perfect, right in the middle of the hubbub of Betws y Coed but it still felt peaceful and private. The flat is very spacious and has comfortable beds, the sofa and chairs are really comfortable too. At the back of the flat the living room window overlooks the station platform which we all loved, just watching life go by. But the trains are not that often or at night so there isn’t much noise. The kitchen has everything you could need and overlooks the village green. All in all a great place to stay.

- Helen, September 2021
Lucy July 2021

“Station flat is the perfect place to stay.”

Flat is very clean, Extremely comfortable, Very large indoor Space and an amazing balcony over looking the main green and the views are great. Flat is also very well equipped that catered for all our needs, Kids loved watching the trains come in at the station and the occasional low flying Jet or helicopter added to the fun. Station flat is in the perfect spot to explore the surrounding areas.

Maria December 2019

“Station flat is everything and more we could of asked for, much bigger than we thought from the photographs, brilliant location with many shops and restaurants.”

Lovely walks along the river and further along is swallow falls which is a must see ( charge £2) Also a mile away is zip world which is a brilliant day out and lots of fun. Could of done with a extra toilet maybe off the twin room ( playroom area) but really look forward to spending time here again in the future.

- Maria, December 2019
Claire July 2019

Carol May 2019

“Fabulous flat, very central location with some lovely cafes & restaurants.”

Perfect for children, there’s a playroom next to one of the twin bedrooms & at the back of the flat, there is a miniature steam railway that our children loved going on whilst we sat on the platform at an amazing coffee shop! Would definitely stay again.

- Carol, May 2019
Felicity October 2018

“The station flat at Betws y coed has all you need, very comfortable beds perfect for resting after climbing snowdon, the location is perfect and Betws y coed is a beautiful picturesque village.”

It's our second stay and will not be our last

“The flat is on several levels and the eating area up several steps and down a corridor.”

I would not consider this flat suitable for young children because of the steps and low windows. We were five adults (mum and four children 19-25) and any more would have been uncomfortable with just one bathroom and seating available. The flat is noisy as on route from YHA, above a parade of shops, opposite a car park and on a bus route - lots of early deliveries and rubbish collections. We didn't mind the hourly, church clock chimes. It was a choice of windows open or stifle in the heat. I imagine noise would be worse in high season. The flat is above a chip shop so smelt of oil all the time. Location is excellent and we managed to get free parking each evening a little way down the road, but it was not school holidays so not that busy - bring a supply of coins to be on the safe side. Fun to watch trains out of back window and jets flying above. Kitchen very well appointed and extras like foil, cling film, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, hand wash, loo rolls were supplied. Water pressure in shower very good but shower quite small. Check out is 10am so was surprised to open door to leave and see cleaner (a nice woman, if a little eager) standing outside before 10am. We felt pressured to get out quickly and when I went back to check all the bags were out at 9:58 she was starting on the bathroom! I feel that the communal areas are a little dated and it would be possible to install a second bathroom, but on balance we all agree we would choose this flat again because of its location and the fact that we were out most of the time, but we'd all bring ear plugs!

Rachel May 2018

“Such a lovely apartment in the middle of Betws-y-Coed.”

Great location. Well presented and maintained. Owner was very attentive before and after our stay. Highly recommend this property

- Rachel, May 2018
Hannah April 2018

“We throughly enjoyed our holiday at the station flat.”

It is in a suburb location with beautiful walks and exciting activities alike. Only negative points were that one double bed was uncomfortable (with a dip in the middle) and a window leaked when we had heavy rain. Regardless of these issues the flat is spacious and clean and perfect for our large family group. We would love to return!

- Hannah, April 2018
Victor March 2018

“We have used Sykes before and normally they give good quality properties.”

However this time we are truly disappointed. We paid near £900 for a 4 night stay for 5 people and it seems like the owner didn't really care the state of the place. There's cobweb we can see around the flat. The guest book has an entry about shower not draining properly and it is still the case on our visit. It is a long Easter weekend and they gave us 2 rolls of toilet rolls. Also there is no coffee/tea/sugar/salt or anything to make us feel welcome. I would not recommend this property to anyone, especially given the price

- Victor, March 2018
Anna March 2018

“Lovely stay, plenty of space for 8 adults.”

The living area is great for staying in for an evening meal, we also enjoyed a great meal at the pub across the road. Will definitely be coming back!

- Anna, March 2018
Catherine October 2017

“Beautiful stay in this property.”

Myself and friends ran the British fell relays it was equipped with everything we needed. Would be nice to have a second toilet between 8 of us. This wouldn’t put us off staying again. Can’t wait to return thank you.

- Catherine, October 2017
Ann April 2017

“This was a family weekend away attending my niece's wedding nearby.”

The station flat was perfect ! Spacious, clean and a great central location. Good communication with Kay made everything easy. We will be coming back here again in the future! Thank you!

Felicity October 2016

“Station flat is perfectly located at Betws y coed, the flat has everything you need, it is very spacious, comfortable and clean, a view of the train station one side and view of the village green the other.”

We did not have any problems at all, no noise from the shops below, the trains do not run through the night so no noise from there. We climbed snowdon and appreciated the lovely comfy beds after it. We will def visit again.

Mary August 2016

“The flat was far more spacious than I was expecting and the kitchen was extremely well equipped.”

It felt less like a holiday cottage and more like a home from home. There was even children's and adults books available to read and toys for the children to play with. The children said the flat was 'awesome' and they would like to live there! The location could not have been better for our groups range of ages: we had toddlers to teenagers to OAP's, fit and unfit. There were local walks to suit all abilities without the need to go in a car; the minature railway kept the younger children amused while the older ones browsed the shops. The recreation ground provided a great place for the children to play while the more sedentary ones of us could keep an eye on them from the decking. If I return to Snowdonia this will be my first choice of accommodation.

- Mary, August 2016
Nick August 2016

“Location: Betws-y-Coed is a fantastic location for the entire family to have a wonderfully enjoyable holiday.”

The facilities available are perfect for every member of the family and is not far from any main town. Lot of wonderful walks, cycling, fishing, Snowdon and much, much more. We will be returning. Property: The Station Flat is a little be tired and would do well to have a bit of a modernisation. An extra bathroom/shower room wouldn't be a bad addition. Some blinds in the kitchen to take the heat of the sun away from the exposed fridge. Thank you

- Nick, August 2016
Lynne July 2016

“Spent a fantastic week in the Station flat.”

It was so comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. The balcony was a highlight and was great to sit out and watch the world go by! Great location close to Llanberis and Snowdon. Caught the train to Llandudno and had a great day at the Orme. Would highly recommend the flat.

In a great location with plenty of space and everything you need. Can't wait to return next year!

- James, December 2015
Karen July 2015

“Station Flat was very spacious and well equipped.”

Even though it sleeps 8 people, there was plenty of room to not be on top of one another. We would not hesitate in recommending this flat.

- Karen, July 2015
Jessica July 2015

“The location was great both for our avid train watching children who loved watching the trains on the mainline and being just across from the miniature railway.”

Betws-y-Coed is also usefully located for lots of other attractions in North Wales. The trains were not disruptive, being pretty quiet and infrequent. The flat was plenty big enough for our party of 6 and had everything we needed. Having a washer/dryer was brilliant with three small children!

- Jessica, July 2015
Mary June 2015

“This is a large spacious apartment which suited our extended family with 2 young granddaughters.”

It is very well decorated with ample storage space. The playroom was a big hit with the children. We enjoyed the large balcony and had some meals out there. The field opposite and the children's railway were also well used. Betws-y-Coed is a lovely area within easy reach of mountains, hillside and beach. We would definitely recommend for many reasons.

- Mary, June 2015
Gary February 2015

“This is a lovely apartment in a prime location for exploring a beautiful part of Wales.”

- Gary, February 2015
Sandra February 2015

“We all had a very lovely weekend at the cottage and would highly recommend to other guests looking for somewhere that is close to the Zip Wire.”

The cottage was quite large and felt very homely. The owner was able to be contacted straight away to arrange keys, even though I was trying to organise it from the middle of Africa and she made sure the house was warm for our arrival.

“An extremely spacious apartment in a great location.”

The one twin bed room with an attached playroom was a great hit with the two six year olds in our party, it was great that they had their own space. We all really enjoyed our stay.

“Station Flat is well furnished and extremely spacious.”

Upon arrival it was very clean. It is in a fantastic location situated right on the station. There is plenty to do in the area which has some stunning scenery. A very enjoyable week was had with visits to Llandudno, the Ffestiniog narrow gauge railway and a climb up Snowdon. Would definitely recommend a stay at this fantastic property.
