Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently highlight the exceptional cleanliness of the cottage, with several describing it as the cleanest holiday home they've ever used. This consistent commendation suggests a very high standard of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.
The location is often described as beautiful and perfect for exploring North Wales & Snowdonia. Guests appreciate the quiet, peaceful setting and the proximity to attractions, although some noted the cottage is a bit remote.
The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable, with cosy furnishings and a warm atmosphere. A few comments about the desire for a more powerful shower and larger TV suggest there is room for improvement in comfort for some guests.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being well-equipped. However, some guests mentioned a small TV and challenges with hot water regulation, indicating that while facilities are good, there is potential for enhancement.
Many reviews mention thoughtful gestures such as a welcome box with local sweets and savouries, and festive decorations. While these gifts are warmly appreciated, it should be noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
A lovely 18th century terraced barn conversion full of character with spectacular Snowdonia views. Offering light and airy open plan living accommodation, Arfon is the ideal base for a relaxing holiday. This property adjoins Ref. 1520 Meifod and Ref. 1521 Bwthyn and together they can accommodate up to 8 people.
Hailed as the Gateway to Snowdonia, Betws-Y-Coed is now the principal village of the Snowdonia National Park. Much of Betws-Y-Coed was built in Victorian times on the site where the River Conwy joins its three tributaries. Its natural beauty has inspired artists since those times and many continue to visit to try and capture something of the stunning scenery. Thick woodlands and imposing mountains dominate the skyline, offering an unspoilt habitat to a variety of animals, birds and some rare species of plants. With Mount Snowdon looming as a backdrop, Betws-Y-Coed attracts walkers, climbers and mountain-bikers throughout the year. As a result, the town is well served by inns and pups where you can sample local delights such as traditional Welsh rarebit and Glamorgan sausages. Also of interest are the many bridges in the area. Pont-y-Pair, built in 1468, is buffeted by foaming water after heavy rain, hence the meaning of its name: the Bridge of the Cauldron. A number of sign-posted walks in the surrounding countryside start near this bridge. A mile or so away is the Miner's Bridge, on the road to Capel Curig, where early miners crossed the river on a steep ladder to get to work.

The cottage is perfect for a family break away - lovely quiet area and stunning views around us! The owners made us feel very welcome & gave some excellent recommendations of things to do while we were there. We would definitely come back again.

It would have been more comfortable if the stairs and upstairs bedrooms had been carpeted. The TV was very small and this meant moving furniture around in order to view.
