“We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage.”

From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome, and the cottage itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nestled among rolling hills, it is wonderfully peaceful and tucked away from the hustle and bustle, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind.

From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome, and the cottage itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nestled among rolling hills, it is wonderfully peaceful and tucked away from the hustle and bustle, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. One of our favourite things was enjoying a morning cup of tea on the patio listening to the birdsong. We also loved sitting further down the garden, taking in the peace and quiet, watching the sheep in the surrounding fields, and enjoying the beautiful natural setting. The location is ideal, both as a base for exploring Snowdonia and places such as Anglesey, and for simply switching off and enjoying some downtime. We especially loved the recommended riverside walk from the cottage into Beddgelert. Overall, we would highly recommend this cottage for a peaceful, relaxing getaway in a stunning part of Wales, and would happily return.

“This is a wonderful "get away from it all" cottage with views of fields and hills.”

It had everything we needed and we found it very comfortable. Our hosts were welcoming and we quickly felt at home. We enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace for a number of our meals (we were lucky with the weather!). For walkers, there are some lovely walks straight from the door, and other walks are only a short drive away. We loved the mountain scenery but the coast is also easily reached and we did a gorgeous coastal walk .

“The most wonderful cottage and location with a lovely welcome from the Harvey’s.”

The break over Christmas was so relaxing and every detail had been made for it to be that way, Christmas decorations and lovely and warm. We will definately be booking again this year and looking forward to it with more exploring of the beautiful countryside,Porthmadog is only 20 minutes for shopping although Tesco deliver, Betws y Coed is a beautiful village approx 40m drive with the walks along the Afon Conwy (river Conwy) for the dogs and Swallow falls. Overall a great relaxing break,, beautiful cottage with enclosed garden and acres of Farmland to walk with dogs on the lead with sheep being present on the working farm.

Norman June 2025

“Beautiful location and lovely pleasant cottage in scenic surroundings.”

Lots of places to visit local and distant in hills and coast. Rooms are spacious and comfy and great area if you bring your dog to play. As usual if you have the weather Snowdonia region is amazing to get out. If you’re a feet up TV addict then you might be disappointed as you only have internet TV. Short drive to Portmadog gives you all facilities you might need with good supermarkets and a must to visit the Osprey Centre.

The owners live close by but are respectful of the privacy of this cottage and the other on the farm. We could not find fault in anyway.

“A cosy,well maintained and quirky cottage with beautiful countryside and mountain views.”

All we needed for a restful retreat.Scenic walks from our door step and nearby village of Begalert a delightful visit. The completely secure ,enclosed garden was an added bonus for our labrador. Lovely warm welcome from the owner and thoughtful welcome cake was appreciated. Also appreciated the owners being on hand and available should we need anything during our stay. For us this cottage was perfect and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful break in a most beautiful part of Wales. We look forward to returning, thank you .

“3rd stay here and had a lovely relaxing time as usual.”

Gaye and family were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. Rudy (staffie) enjoyed the garden and walks around the property; even made friends with the sheep. We enjoyed the peace, quiet and watching the numerous birds and even had return visits from a local badger. The surrounding area and north coastline is beautiful, as is Anglesey and the Lyn. We hope to return again soon. Thankyou Gaye.

“We had a lovely stay here, so peaceful, very comfortable, warm & cosy, had everything we needed, lovely views, the garden was completely secure for our dog, perfect location for getting out & about & lovely to come back & sit with a cup of tea after a long day walking to sit & watch the birds on the feeders or the sheep out in the field, we thoroughly enjoyed it here, we will definitely be going back, thank you very much.”

- Tracey, March 2024
Adam March 2024

“When we booked the holiday I’ll be honest the cottage looked just ‘okay’ in the pictures.”

But when we arrived they just don’t do the cottage justice. It’s warm, cosy, homely and super clean and we felt relaxed as soon as we stepped inside. The location is perfect and although we had plenty of rain we still got out and enjoyed ourselves. The garden is lovely and secure for our two beagles with a good fence all round. I just hope they didn’t make too much noise!! There was no rumble of distant traffic and the night skies were awesome with no light pollution. It was everything I wanted for a break to celebrate my 50th and is a credit to the owner.

- Adam, March 2024

Thank you Property Owner
Andrew March 2024

“This is a lovely, cosy and warm cottage with a sense of isolation, which was just perfect for us and our dog Mikki (though only a couple of miles from Beddgelert).”

The cottage was very clean and well equipped and the owner could not have been more friendly and helpful (whilst also giving us privacy and space). The garden was secure for our pooch and there was a lovely terrace to sit out on should the weather allow. Walks from the door include the spectacular riverside walk up to Beddgelert (though care is needed on the route during wet weather and high water). Nantmor has a stop on the Welsh Highland Railway. Go stay and don't believe any negative reviews about this accommodation.

- Andrew, March 2024
Chris March 2024

“Lovely cottage, has everything you need for your stay.”

Home from Home. Views from the cottage are lovely and plenty of walking from the doorstep. Perfect location for local walks or a short drive to many of the Snowdon paths, we walked the Watkin path and lucky that the weather was sunny and mild for the time of the year. Beddgelert a 10min drive. Beddgelert to Porthmadog a 15min drive. The owner is on hand if you need anything but makes sure your welcomed when you arrive. Definitely one that we’ll be returning to.

- Chris, March 2024
Jetske February 2024

“We had a wonderfull stay in this beautiful cottage.”

Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. The owner was very helpfull. The cottage is perfect for four people. It is very easy to explore the amazing surroundings, and it's a cosy place to stay inside in case of rain. We would definetly recommend it, and even come back if are able to:)

“Property listed as accessible for wheelchairs.”

We couldn’t get the wheelchair out of our vehicle even with our ramp due to large deep rocks. The threshold over the doorway was two high and no ramp provided. I had to be carried from the vehicle. Owner amended the listing day before we left. The property has beautiful views over the fields and mountains, lots of sheep and birds to see. Well equipped kitchen but only one shelf in oven. Some cupboards could do with some attention. Property soon gets warm we had to open windows at times. Bedrooms had plenty of storage, double bed needs attention uncomfortable for us both. Smaller bedroom smelt of damp, informed owner who came but said couldn’t smell anything. If damp we would see mould and bedding be wet. I wouldn’t recommend leaving items on the floor as they did get damp. When it rained it rains heavily against that wall. You get no phone signal which was no issue as WiFi. Cobwebs were left but most areas were clean. Shower was powerful but a very small rectangle head so difficult to wash. There is a shower chair available. Beautiful paintings throughout the property. Due to issues with listing and not being as accessible as originally advertised would restrict us booking again, but the property is in a beautiful location.

David December 2023

“Lovely stay in this peaceful quiet little hideaway.”

Comfy beds and cosy living room with lovely views. The owner greeted us and informed us that she was available to deal with any problems should we encounter any. We didn’t but it was nice to know. The property was as described. We loved it and have already booked for next year. Just to note - an inventory of the kitchen would be advisable for the coming season. Glasses have seen better days, chopping knives need replacing, frying pans and oven proof dishes require upgrading, no kitchen scissors. Although the directions to the property are detailed we had some difficulty locating it on first arrival due to darkness, heavy rain and it being hidden from the road. Perhaps a bigger sign on the approach lane and on the closed gate would be beneficial.

- David, December 2023
Roy September 2023

“A lovely well equipped cottage in a peaceful setting looking out over the countryside.”

The owner and her family were really friendly and helpful making sure we had everything we needed. I would not hesitate to recomend Bwythyn Y Wennol to family and friends .

Lenka July 2023

“We had amazing time in this beautiful cottage with our two teenagers and a dog.”

The garden was beautiful, private, and secure for our dog to freely run around so we could all truly relax. The cottage was comfortable and warm despite the wet weather and cooler temperature. The location is ideal to explore many fantastic walks (even without driving), access to Mt Snowdon but also Zip world and all Snowdonia has on offer. Hospitality was great, welcome cake and even flowers and a card for our anniversary. Thank you!

“Firstly, for the dog owners who have trawled through and either can't find the info on any of the cottages or are sick of looking at places that claim they have a garden but it's a square of gravel, let me reassure you.”

This cottage has French doors on the lounge and a door on the bedroom. There is a massive patio and a pretty cottage garden. It is secured by posts and stock fencing and approx 4 feet high. The resident dog did not come near the fence but the sheep do wander into the field at the bottom and side of the garden so may not suit if your dog is reactivate to animals. There are three steps from the patio to the garden but, if these are a problem, you could go out of the front door and walk a couple of feet to the garden gate and access it that way. The cottage is clean, the mattress very comfy- and I am extremely fussy about mattresses - and generally well equipped. The views are so relaxing and there is plenty of wildlife to watch if you want an escape. All you can hear are bees, sheep and birds, wonderful. You can also walk from the doorstep and there are lovely places to visit within a very short distance. I was lucky, I had amazing weather and spent most of my time here. I felt safe as a solo traveller as Gaye and her family are on hand if you need them but certainly not intrusive in any way.

Claire June 2023

“The cottage was beautiful and perfect location for us and the 2 dogs.”

So peaceful. It was so clean and very well equipped. The host was lovely, helpful and friendly. We didn’t see her much, she left us to get on with things, but was there if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend this cottage 100%

Martin May 2023

“We absolutely loved this place, all of us , we arrived home yesterday and booked again for next year , cant say more than that really , i don't think the photos of outside quite give you the real feel of the place , the location is magnificent, up a track through Nantmor village , with nothing but hills and countryside in front , walks from the door ,the garden and outside space , a great place to relax if that's what your after , its an outstanding location .”

we were lucky with the weather sunny everyday , which only enhanced the beauty of Snowdonia , your right in the middle of it here , a 2 mile or so walk from the door to Beddgelert with its cafes and pubs , a 20 min drive to the start of Pyg/miners tracks for an ascent up Snowdon , which me and my eldest son did , and loved every minute but also your only a 20 min drive from the coast , Criccieth , Porthmadog and Harlech beach , there's so much to see , 7 days just not enough weve had a great holiday ,really enjoyed this one , thankyou very much , were looking forward to going again next year

Susan May 2023

“We absolutely love this cottage.”

It is the perfect location for seclusion, feeling totally private. It has dramatic views and is so peaceful and quiet, no road traffic just bird song. The owner makes you feel very welcome. The cottage is decorated well and the cupboards have everything you need. There is no phone signal from inside the cottage, although you can pick one up if you walk towards the owners home. What it does however have is fantastic, quick wi-fi. This was our second visit to the cottage and hopefully it won't be our last.

Just things like proper non stick pans and sharp knives make a difference.

Bruce March 2023

“This was our fourth or fifth stay at this cottage, so clearly it can't be too bad!”

! Lovely getaway, quiet, isolated, but a few minutes drive to Beddgelert or Tremadog and Porthmadog. We found a new restaurant in Tremadofg called Y Sgwar, and our old favorite in Beddgelert was open on Monday so a beautiful birthday celebration at Y Bistro yn yr Hebog.

Fabulous cottage in a great location, with a mountain back drop and walks from the door and yet within easy reach of shops and pubs. We had a fantastic time and would love to come again.

Joanna May 2022

“A lovely place in a lovely location.”

We found everything we needed and had a compfy stay, thank you. Two things that were bothersome were way too soft and mega squeaky bed in the master bedroom and funny smells from the bathroom. Overall we really enjoyed the place and we hope to come again in the future. Thank you!

- Joanna, May 2022

Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate that beds are subjective but are likely to be changing the bed in the near future. We had recently had the septic tank emptied before your visit and apologies if this caused any temporary odour. Thank you for your top cleanliness score and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

Jayne December 2021

“Beautiful cottage in very peaceful surroundings,the Xmas decorations were lovely as were the gifts which we were not expecting but very much appreciated.”

Also the cottage was extremely clean,we would definitely like to spend another holiday there but when the weather is more settled.Many thanks to the owner for her kindness and consideration.

Pj October 2021

“Thanks very much for a great stay at Bwthyn Y Wennol!”

The cottage is ideally situated for the Snowdonia National Park. We had great days out, and very cosy returns to the cottage. Proprietress was very supportive with some Victoria Sponge because of our bad luck with Welsh weather (even for Welsh standards). If we'd visit Wales again, we certainly would try Bwthyn Y Wennol again.

- Pj, October 2021
Anita October 2021

“Although this cottage is set in a lovely area and in itself is cosy and functional, our main issue was the presence of mice in the property.”

On the 3rd morning we found chewed remains of chocolate and on further investigation we found an abundance of mouse droppings behind the microwave and along the work surface in the kitchen. No one was available at the owners property until the evening to provide a solution and on the evening we were horrified to realise that this issue was not going to be dealt with by the cottage owner but instead by ourselves. She handed me 3 mouse traps and turned the conversation to the lovely day out that she had had that day. She did not come to the cottage to make any assessment of the situation on that evening which we consider totally unacceptable, although she did attend the following morning to ask if any had been caught. One of the traps had caught a mouse on that night and also on the following night. We do understand that rural areas may be prone to these issues but consider that the way it was dealt with was not acceptable. Restaurants are closed down if there is a presence of mice. We can only assume that there were mice around for the whole of our stay, and were quite clearly in the cottage as we slept. We will not reserve this cottage again as a result of these findings, and depending on how Sykes Cottages handle our experience, we will consider very carefully whether we book with your company in the future.

Bruce September 2021

“We have stayed in many of these holiday rentals and this was by far the best, and we have stayed in some very nice ones.”

The cottage was beautifully apointed, the location was incredible, and the house was very well equipped. This part of Wales has been very special to us for decades, so we were very happy to find what we hope to be a long term location. Peace and quiet and easy access to lots of great hikes. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful experience.

- Bruce, September 2021
Maureen September 2021

“The cottage was situated in such a quiet area, that we barely heard anything!”

Even the sheep were quiet. Cottage comfortable and everything we required was to hand. Beautiful area of North Wales - we walked in the mountains and along deserted beaches - heaven. Very tasty meals in local pubs. Will definitely return to continue exploring more walks in the area.

“Fantastic Holiday Collage.”

Bwythyn Y Wennol is an 2 Bedroom cottage in an idyllic setting in North Wales. The Cottage itself has amazing views around the local area & the perfect base for exploring the area by either Foot or Car. The Owner was very kind and welcoming. Cottage is Well equipment with either you can think off. Such an amazing Holiday and can't wait to return.

- Ian, June 2021
David May 2021

“We were looking for peace and quiet within reasonable distance of basic food necessities and Bwythyn y Wennol provided exactly what we wanted.”

We walked from the cottage door on five out of seven days and slept well as a result, even when it rained. We haven't exhausted the walking possibilties so we may well return. Unlimited hot water, which we had, has always been my choice of a luxury for "Desert Island Discs".

- David, May 2021
Julie November 2020

“The cottage is in a good location.”

It’s near Nantmor National Trust site with excellent walks. Beddgelert, Porthmadog and Llyn Dinas not too far away. The cottage had everything we needed Including a closed in garden to keep the dogs safe. The cottage warmed up very quickly and was really cosy. We did miss the games and DVD’s as they were removed due to COVID19, but we had a good book to read. We found the cottage a lovely size for the 2 of us and the 2 dogs.

- Julie, November 2020
Keith October 2020

“This is the second time we have visited this particular cottage, it is situated in a very beautiful area of Beddgelert super views, very quite, very relaxing, great for walking the dogs.”

The owners living next door are very pleasant, friendly and always pleased to talk when they see you.

- Keith, October 2020
Jen September 2020

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.”

Owner was very kind and welcoming. We had a fantastic week with our dogs. WiFi was a bit dodgy, but not really a problem. You can walk down to the fisherman’s path and into Beddgelert very easily, great walks on the doorstep. Pubs were perfect too.

- Jen, September 2020

“What a wonderful cottage, in a perfect location.”

The views were fantastic, and it was so quiet and peaceful, the garden was great for our two frenchies., there was plenty of space for us to bbq and sit out. This was just the right place for a hardworking family to relax. The owner was really friendly and helpful, especially when we had high winds and rain, she came to check that we were ok. I would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely stay there again.

Amanda August 2020

“The views from the patio door were fantastic and the surroundings were peaceful, with only the twitter of birds to interrupt your holiday.”

The landlady of the property was very attentive and understanding when we had a problem during our stay and she always asked if we were having a nice time. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were well appointed. In fact, when we arrived, the whole bungalow was spotless and the porch was a useful addition, as were the torches provided. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and taking a stroll along a beach with our dogs as well as taking photographs of the beautiful scenery.

“We really loved this cottage it is the BEST we have ever stayed in.”

It is very homely, nicely decorated, very clean, and had everything you could need. We had our two Cavaliers Bertie & Suki and they loved the very dog friendly garden. From this cottage you had really lovely views it was so peaceful. It was the ideal base for touring around we will definitely stay there again we wouldn't even look for other cottages. We give this cottage 10/10

“Directions to property could be amended to include "take left turn signed Nantmor, cross railway track, continue up narrow road, turn left at large chapel and pass phone box on right".”

Cottage was very clean, had excellent wifi connection but no BT mobile signal and the central heating was very efficient warming the property from cold to cosy in a short time. Plenty of drawer space in bedrooms but hanging space a little limited. Adequate kitchen utensils, sufficient pots and pans etc. but could do with some additional glasses and bowls especially if four people using. We found the lounge lighting a little inadequate for reading but the owner kindly supplied an additional lamp which solved the problem. Small welcome gift of bara brith and milk appreciated.

- Patrick, February 2020
David February 2020

“Having experienced various cottages over the years we can happily say that it was the best.”

Every requirement was met to the smallest detail. A real home from home in all respects. Even the dog didn't want to come home! Hopefully will be back again one day.

- David, February 2020
Carole September 2019

“We loved the location, cottage and clean air!”

It would be useful if it was mentioned on the directions that 2 gates would need to be opened and closed when entering or leaving the property.

Needn’t have been, it was fabulous. Beautiful accommodation, stunning location and an ideal base for our adventures in North Wales. Will definitely return.

Joyce July 2018

“The cottage was lovely and very well stocked with just about everything anyone could need.”

The people we met were very welcoming and the owner was there if we needed anything and she kept us informed about anything we might need. We were close to many places we wanted to go to and there were some lovely walks you could do if you wanted to. There are two gates which needed to be opened and closed whenever you went out but that was a minor thing. The views from the cottage were beautiful and it was in a nice private area so if you didn't want to see anyone you didn't have to. The weather was mixed but we managed to do everything we wanted to do in the breaks between the rain. All in all we had a lovely week and couldn't have wanted for anything.

- Joyce, July 2018
Urs July 2018

“The Cottage was extremely nice and comfortable.”

The Patio and garden were astonishing and grace to the nice weather we could really enjoy it. Good beds and a good shower in the cottage. The Cottage ‚Bwythyn Y Wennol‘ is because of the perfect location a good base for hiking and sightseeing.

- Urs, July 2018
Jane April 2018

“Well equipped lovely cottage in a peaceful location ideal for exploring the surrounding area.”

Walks from the door.

- Jane, April 2018
Alan April 2018

“We could not fault the cottage for the facilities,it is rather remote but there are plenty of walks nearby.”

The weather was not very kind to us the week we stayed,so didn't manage to do all the walks we planned to do. Nantmor railway station on the Welsh Highland Railway is a short distance down the road if want to go to Beddgelert and walk back along the Fishermans walk along the river.

- Alan, April 2018
Tim April 2018

“Very enjoyable stay, lots to do.”

- Tim, April 2018
Samantha March 2018

“We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cosy cottage.”

We were warm and comfortable. The surrounding countryside was beautiful with the hills and moutains all around us. The cottage itself was charming and we loved it, the only issues we had were lack of coat hangers and space to put suitcases etc. The kitchen needs looking at carefully and items such as vegetable knife, wooden chopping board needs adding also. A set of weighing scales should be added too, i took my own ( for weighing out dog food). An enjoyable week with some beautiful walks on the local beaches and visits to copper mine.

- Samantha, March 2018
Dorothy March 2018

“A lovely little cottage in a very quiet and beautiful location.”

The owner lives nearby but is not at all intrusive, and made us feel very welcome with homemade cake. For train lovers the steam train from Porthmadog to Caernarfon can be accessed from Nantmor (a short walk from the cottage) as it is a request stop.

- Dorothy, March 2018
Vanessa March 2018

“Third time at Bwythyn Y Wennol perfect location for exploring Snowdonia and surrounding area.”

Cottage secluded at the end of a private track, very cosy and warm and good facilities.

- Vanessa, March 2018
Anne January 2018

“We had a lovely winter holiday in this cottage, which is well-equipped, comfortable and warm (one reason for choosing it was somone else's past review mentioning what a warm cottage it was - they were right - it's great - and often this is not the case with holiday cottages).”

The pictures don't really do it justice - there is a good porch with coat hooks, shoe/boot rack and a huge selection of tourist information leaflets; this opens into a fairly wide tiled hall / passageway which makes the cottage more spacious than it seems from the pictures. It's very cottagey and homely with a lot of art and ornaments to look at when the cloud comes down and you can't see the lovely views outside. The wifi worked without any fuss (not always the case) and there is an ice-box style freezer compartment within the fridge which I am sure would have been worth mentioning in the description and a useful combi washer/drier as well. The kitchen has everything you could need and is quite spacious too. The cottage is well-located for many excellent walks; the enclosed side garden was useful for the dog and I'm sure it is pretty too in the right season. The owner is right next door but her house is the other side of the big barn, so the cottage feels secluded and it is a beautiful and peaceful spot. I'd consider it again for a winter break.

- Anne, January 2018
Martin November 2017

“Bwythyn Y Wennol is a perfect holiday cottage.”

It is very comfortable, has a great heating system (which was important for a November stay) and every facility we needed. For us it is ideally located at the end of a secluded track, making it very private, quiet and set between the hills, with a great outlook from the lounge to the surrounding pastures. Our host, Gay, met us soon after arrival to ensure everything was okay and then left us to our own devizes. The cottage was spacious and very cosy at all times. We're happy to highly recommend it to anyone seeking a base in North wales.

- Martin, November 2017

Pity about the weather but that is why wales is so green!

- Kathryn, July 2017
Clare April 2017

“We had an amazing time - if anything the listing didn't do the cottage justice.”

We were delighted with the location (remote, beautiful), and the size of the property, which was much bigger than we expected. We did lots of walking (plenty of walks without needing to use the car at all), and the kids loved it too. Perfect!

- Clare, April 2017
Mark March 2017

“Absolutely fabulous cottage with beautiful views of the Welsh mountains.”

Owner was a lovely lady who kindly left us cake when we arrived .The patio and enclosed garden are just the ticket on a sunny day.We will definitely return to this little treasure

- Mark, March 2017
Vanessa March 2017

“Second stay at Bwythyn Y Wennol,cottage is comfortable and cosy.”

Secluded spot at end of a lane but not too far away from civilisation if required! Perfect location with easy access to Snowdonia and surrounded area. Best time of the year to get up Snowdon and avoid the crowds, especially during the hottest day of the year so far!

- Vanessa, March 2017

- Brian, September 2016
Carol June 2016

“This amazing cottage is set right in the mountains, so peaceful and private.”

The cottage was roomy and comfortable, everything and more you could want was provided. The garden was beautiful and a real sun trap with wonderful countryside views. The main plus point for us was that the garden was completely enclosed so safe for our two dogs. I would recommend this cottage to anyone but would prefer to keep it a secret, hopefully we may be able to return another year.

- Carol, June 2016
Eleanor May 2016

“The pictures of the cottage online dont reflect the true beauty of the cottage and surroundings, so as you can imagine we were in awe of everything.”

Would highly recommend this cottage stay.

- Eleanor, May 2016
Vanessa March 2016

“Bwythyn Y Wennol was cosy and comfortable.”

Plenty of walks from the door with local shops and pubs only a couple of miles away. Lots of walks and activities locally and surprisingly weather was good and even managed to get up into the snow. Good base for exploring Snowdonia and surrounding area.

- Vanessa, March 2016
Terry February 2016

“The location was beautiful, and the owner was very helpful and kind.”

The cottage was clean, cosy, warm and inviting. A lovely relaxing holiday near to mountains, sea and a pub!

“The location was perfect for us and we were more than happy with the accommodation.”

The property was very homely and cosy and lived up to all expectations. It was ideal for planning walks, and the coast wasn't far either. A very very nice stay, will holiday there again in the future.

Michael May 2015

“We found this cottage absolutely delightful, it was great to be off the beaten track 'but only just' over a slight hill.”

Every aspect was exactly as described and we felt at home as soon as we entered the cottage - and that was late in the evening in the dark! We awoke the next morning and were very happy with the aspect and surroundings we found ourselves within. We had a delightful stay.

- Michael, May 2015
Dean March 2015

About the location

BEDDGELERT

Porthmadog 7.7 miles; Caernarfon 12.8 miles.

The picturesque village of Beddgelert lies in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park at the foot of Mount Snowdon. Beddgelert is a bustling village with arts and craft shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, centred around the Afon Glaslyn river. A 20 minute stroll along the river will take you to the Aberglaslyn Pass, one of North Wales’ most famous beauty spots. The Welsh Highland Steam Railway passes through the village on its journey from Porthmadog to Caernarfon. Beddgelert is famed for its monument to the Welsh Prince Llewelyn's dog, whom the Prince killed thinking it had attacked and killed his son, only to discover afterwards it had been defending his son from a savage wolf attack. With Porthmadog, Portmeirion, Borth y Gest and the whole of the Llyn Peninsula easily reached, this is an ideal location for a Welsh holiday.

Note: minimum stay is 3 nights.
Two well-behaved dogs welcome, please contact the office if dogs are a larger breed than a Labrador before booking.
