Lovely little cottage with great character and original fittings. Very clean and everything you need. Great for a long weekend with easy acces to the road network and a short walk into the local village.

We had a great time at Bryn Alwyg Toll House, we found everything we needed. The little house is close to Betws-y-Coed, we drove there but I'm sure you could also walk, very close to zip world, and the little village itself, where you walk to in 5 minutes, has all amenities you might need including an amazing bakery, co-op, and a couple of cafes. Overall, we had a lovely stay and we would come back again.
