    “Had a lovely Christmas break in Llys Elen.”

    The weather was very wet & windy but we expected that and enjoyed a restful break instead. Managed a boxing day climb up Snowdon with the two boys aged 9 & 6 so very proud of them! Thankyou for the beautifully decorated Xmas tree and decorations. We had everything we needed, including replacement light bulbs! Log burners were lovely & well used. We were aware of the situation with the TV being for DVD's only, but the mention of ' Wifi for streaming ' had us believe we could stream via the TV ...

Thank you for a lovely stay! Beautifully clean!

The property

Beddgelert 3.5 miles.

This lovely cottage, Llys Elen, is located in Nant Gwynant, Gwynedd.

Llys Elen is an ideal base for a group of four or a family of six, as it is situated in a prime location near Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and offers views of the famed peak from its traditional interior and garden.

Step into the living/kitchen space, where you can whip up delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen or unwind in the sitting area to a cracking fire as the woodburning stove adds a gentle warmth to the space.

Dine at the six-seat dining table or al fresco on the rear patio or elevated terrace, with breath-taking mountain views as a backdrop.

There is also a sitting area with inviting sofas and a wood-burning stove, ideal for curling up with a book.

Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you can indulge in soak in the bath or freshen up under the overhead shower, before retiring to one of the three well-appointed double bedrooms, one of which features an en suite shower room.

Adjacent to your new holiday home is the well-known Watkins Path, which offers a scenic route up to the Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) Summit.

Take a trip to the historic village of Beddgelert where you can visit Gelerts grave the faithful hound of the medieval Welsh Prince Llewelyn the Great, or pop in to Glaslyn ice cream parlour for a tasty local treat!

You can enjoy a range of watersports on Llyn Peris, tour the World Heritage site of Dinorwig Quarry, and delve into history at the National Slate Museum and Dolbadarn Castle at Llanberis.

If you come for the sights and not the trek, you can ride a train from Llanberis to the summit of the renowned Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) Peak.

Continue to Blaenau Ffestiniog, where you can explore Zip World Llechwedd's underground mines, or travel to Betws-y-Coed for treetop thrills at Zip World Forest and walks to Swallow Falls Waterfall.

Your North Wales adventure begins at Llys Elen.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
