Description

This delightful mid-terrace cottage is situated in an elevated situation on the outskirts of the historic slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, right in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. This cottage is deceptively spacious for a traditional slate miners cottage and provides a wonderful base for exploring the area with its rich cycle paths, walks, rivers and waterfalls and is perfect for a couple, friends or a family who love the outdoors. Sympathetically refurbished and renovated to a good standard, this charming cottage is lovingly maintained and well-presented by the owner; attention to detail is obvious with lots of wonderful muted colours, co-ordinating soft furnishings and wonderful fabrics. Miners cottages is very individual and stylish and has some lovely features, including a wonderful fireplace in the sitting room housing an attractive wood burning stoves which creates a wonderful ambience and a relaxing atmosphere on those cooler evenings. The kitchen caters for all your needs and the conservatory is a lovely place to sit and relax, enjoy a good book or to enjoy a meal together but with a choice of pubs and eating establishments within a fifteen minute walk, all offering evening meals, I doubt you’ll want to cook! The downstairs shower room is modern whilst upstairs there are two well-appointed bedrooms, all with a pleasant outlook over countryside and encompassing craggy scenery.

The cottage has a lovely enclosed rear patio which is a lovely place to sit out and enjoy the evening sun. Just across from the cottage is Llechwedd slate cavers and ZipWorld Titan, Zip Caverns and Bounce Below, there is also a café and Antur Stiniog extreme downhill mountain bike tracks and trails and a 15 minute stroll and you are in the town centre, offering a variety of shops, tea rooms, pubs and eating establishments. The famous Ffestiniog to Porthmadog Steam Railway starts its journey here too! Whilst the coastal towns of Harlech and Criccieth, with their medieval Castles and wonderful sandy beaches and hidden coves, and the Italian village and gardens of Portmeirion are all reached in just 30 minutes. With Snowdonia on the doorstep, and Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula easily reached, this is a perfect cottage for all to enjoy, whatever the time of year.

A lovely, cosy and well equipped cottage within easy reach of many fantastic walks in the Meolwyn mountains.

Some points to consider - the cottage sits directly below a working slate mine which gives off a constant hum. Not really a problem for us in October but might be intrusive in the summer months. There's no grass at the cottage, so if your dog will only pee on grass you will end up walking them down to the bottom of the terrace where there is a large grassy area. Something to consider if your dog isn't fond of going out in bad weather. What stopped me giving 5* is the dusting- light shades are thick with dust and the bedroom corners are cobwebby and spidery. The lighting in the conservatory is poor (only one dull lamp was working), so we couldn't make use of the lovely space in the evening. All in all we had a lovely stay :-)

We really enjoyed our stay in miners cottage.

The views are incredible from every window, the setting is nice and quiet as you're out of the way of the overly touristy areas but close enough to the national park and there are so many fantastic walks and adventures close by. The cottage was lovely and homely, and surprisingly spacious. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were really comfortable and the lounge really cosy. There is a nice selection of board games my children enjoyed playing in the evenings and a good bundle of maps and local books to plan your adventures. I highly recommend miners cottages and cant wait to come back.

The heating is at a set temperature which was not ideal, as there was no way of over-riding this and it was chilly, although kindling and logs were provided but only the first batch then you had to purchase more if needed which I do think is not on when we have already paid for the property.

We needed the portable radiator on every evening but this did not warm the whole house. I go on holiday to relax and like to be warm so this did impact on the holiday as I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis and need to be warm. The owner said that the heating was set by room temperature, at one point the room was 16degrees and still, there was no heating came on. We would not rent this cottage again.
