The most well-liked inland resort in North Wales is Betws-y-Coed, also referred to as the "Gateway to Snowdonia." This area is a refuge for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike because it is surrounded by thick forest and stunning mountain landscapes. Cascading waterfalls, river pools, and historic bridges add to the area's splendour where the River Conwy joins its three tributaries coming from the west at Betws-y-Coed. The majestic Swallow Falls, which are located where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a breath-taking chasm, are the most well-known of all. The village is home to the Snowdonia National Park Visitor Center and is the beginning of the lovely Conwy Valley, which leads to the coast and the charming towns of Llandudno and Conwy.

We had an amazing week at Plas Iolyn. The local area was fantastic for walks and we ventured into Betws Y Coed for a look around the shops. You donât need to leave the house however, it is so well-equipped. The games room and hot tub kept everyone entertained and the lawned area at the front of the property was perfect for outdoor games. The log burner in the second sitting room was a very toasty touch! The house itself was equipped with every single appliance/piece of kitchen equipment you could possibly want, Iona truly has thought of everything. It is finished to an incredibly high standard and was immaculately clean throughout. All of the guests commented on the lovely bedrooms and comfortable beds (having linen and towels provided was helpful too). Iona left a beautiful Welsh hamper for us to enjoy which was a lovely touch. This property is perfect for all ages and we cannot wait to return. Thank you for a fantastic week away!

We enjoyed the hot tub and play room. The house is really spacious, comfortable and warm. Great kitchen for catering and a table to accommodate all our family of fourteen. The farm itself is full of character and the owner really helpful and friendly.
