  • Historic 300-year-old country cottage nestled in an idyllic location in the heart of a mountain valley
  • Unwind by dining alfresco in the garden, soaking up the breathtaking mountain views of the Ogwen Valley
  • Keen outdoor explorers can join a network of walking and cycling routes through Eryri from the doorstep
Property code: OC-T32402

This idyllic rural hideaway is in the heart of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), overlooking the beautiful Ogwen Valley and just 8.5 miles from Betws-y-Coed. The property welcomes five humans and one hound and is the perfect setting for outdoor enthusiasts, with a vast array of walking routes to explore from the front door. After a day of adventure, unwind in the peaceful garden, enjoying the far-reaching views across the valley.

Leave walking boots and dog leads in the entrance porch, before heading through to the main house. Inside, the holiday home is bursting with character, with exposed beams and stonework, and a fabulous flagstone floor. The social hub of the house is a gorgeous lounge with a vaulted ceiling and plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. Spend time here, reading a book or chatting about your day, whilst Rover dozes at your feet. Alternatively, retreat to the cosy mezzanine area, where comfortable seating is set around a Smart TV (please note, this area has a low ceiling). There’s also a separate snug with a roaring wood burner – the perfect spot for the woofer to hang out, away from the hustle and bustle of the main living area. The separate, country-style kitchen is a delight to cook in and has all the equipment needed to prepare delicious feasts for the group, which you can share together around the wooden table in the dining room. A pretty single bedroom and a family bathroom round off the ground floor. Upstairs, two inviting double bedrooms await, both with wonderful views across the valley. A handy shower room completes this level. Outside, the enclosed garden has furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining on balmy summer nights. You and your furry chum are also welcome to make use of the grassy area surrounding the property. Private parking is available for three cars, and there’ s a covered space for storing bikes. Please note, your canine buddy must be kept on a lead whilst enjoying the outdoor areas.

Journey into the bustling, alpine-style village of Betws-y-Coed, where you’ll find a fantastic selection of paw-friendly shops and eateries to explore. The village is a haven for nature lovers and the area surrounding Betws-y-Coed is adored by dog walkers, with popular routes at Swallow Falls, Gwydir Forest, and Llyn Elsi. From the cottage, it’s easy to take a day trip to Anglesey or spend the day at the coast in Colwyn Bay or Llandudno (all within 30 miles).

The location of this property was amazing. If you want your own little slice of Welsh Mountain wilderness this place is perfect. The scenery was exceptional. The house itself was spacious and comfortable. We all loved the board game table area and the vast selection of games provided. The teenagers also loved the mezzanine game console area. The coRead morettage was well placed to travel to Betws y Coed, Llabberis and other areas of Snowdonia National Park. We had a variety of weather for our stay and in poorer weather the internet could be slow but we were too busy board gaming, watching the sheep and lambs or gazing at the mountains. This place is a real gem. Hide

What can we say... This place is special. The owners have excelled with all aspects of the cottage. The location is unreal. If your dream home is a country cottage in the mountains - well this ticks every box. Endless walks from the front door. The kids loved everything from arrival, opening the cottage door, to exploring each room and then to be mRead moreet with the barn / family / games room... just superb. Also I must add, this the welcome pack was outstanding - full of local produce, and the attention to detail in suppling everything from toilet roll, to fox shampoo for the dog, just exceptionally kind. We will certainly be back. Not one negative to note - just felt very grateful to stay in such a gem! Thankyou to the owners. Hide

This is my 2nd time in Wales, and the 2nd time staying with these innkeepers. It was every bit as wonderful this time. Wales feels like home, and the Wiliams family feels like family.

Our family of 4 adults have just spent a fantastic week in this beautiful spotlessly clean holiday cottage, the cottage had everything we needed and more, very comfy beds, quality furnishings, beautiful soft furnishings making it feel like a home from home. Large accommodation yet still felt so cosy. The views from the cottage were breathtaking, anRead mored so much to do in the area, we had days out everyday we were there and only 20 minutes to 45 minutes drive for great days out. When we arrived at the cottage , in the kitchen there was a surprise hamper waiting for us full of goodies, bread , jam, shortbread, honey, fudge , apples and more, and fresh milk , orange juice and butter in the fridge, what more could you ask for, and lovely shampoo, conditioner and shower gels in both bathrooms. Great communication from the owner too, if you want a peaceful holiday home in a great location with fantastic views then this it, would highly recommend. We had a fantastic time and wouldn't hesitate to return. Hide

Beautiful cottage in both layout and decoration. Perfect combination of retro charm and modern amenities, and we were pleasantly surprised at how large it was. A very relaxing place to stay. The view from outside the property is wonderful (though the windows are small so you need to be regularly outside to fully appreciate it). The cottage is on a Read morehill away from the A5 road which can't be seen or heard. We really appreciated the welcome hamper and flowers Hide
