A warm and welcoming, terraced cottage situated in the pretty Welsh village of Tanygrisiau, just over a mile from the popular town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. This is an ideal cottage for families or friends looking to explore all that this fabulous area has to offer. Located on a residential lane set near stunning scenery and lakeside walks, this charming cottage provides homely accommodation and boasts an open fire in the sitting room, perfect for those cosier nights in. The spacious kitchen with modern spotlighting is well equipped and offers a comfy dining area for those leisurely breakfasts, whilst planning your day ahead. Three cosy bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs complete this delightful cottage. Outside there is an enclosed front patio which enjoys a sunny aspect for most of the day and provides a nice area to sit and enjoy an early morning cuppa, whilst enjoying the surrounding countryside views. There are an abundance of pretty walks to waterfalls and around lakes, cycle paths and mountain bike tracks, all available from the doorstep, making this a great family base. For train enthusiasts the Ffestiniog Steam Railway is close by, and can be heard as it passes by behind the cottage. Zip World Titan and Caverns, the longest 4-man zip in Europe, and Bounce Below, an underground trampolining experience, and the magnificent slate caverns at Llechwedd, are also nearby. There really is something for everyone. The North Wales coast is easily accessible too, and other attractions such as Portmeirion with its Italianate village and gardens, and many historic castles are just a short drive away. Staying at this lovely cottage means you can enjoy exploring both coast and country at any time of the year.
Tanygrisiau, meaning "below the steps", refers to the stepped cliffs above this traditional Welsh village. The Moelwyn mountains protect the village from much of the wind from northerly gales in the winter, and give the village a pleasant southerly aspect with relatively mild weather considering its location high in Snowdon. The village stands amongst some dramatic scenery, and is a good starting point for many walks, especially if your intention is to climb Moelwyn itself.

Owner sorted out a plumbing issue straight away even though it was late in the evening. This is my second time at this cottage and hopefully will be back next year.

We arrived to find it beautifully clean and welcoming, everything we could need from toiletries, dishwasher tablets, towels, kitchen utensils, tea, coffee, sugar etc to a bottle of rose waiting on the table for us! The cottage it's self is stunning and felt so cosy. The children had the best time, especially our daughter who claimed the gorgeous attic room for herself! Our dog was happy and relaxed and the scenery was stunning. We will 100% be coming back to stay.
