No smoking. . Nestled in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, this characterful and quirky, terraced Welsh cottage is situated in the quiet village of Cwm Penmachno. Bryn Rhos Goch is a slate quarry workers cottage from 1850 with many of the original features still intact. Inside the cottage it has a large fire area surrounded by the original slates, there is a sign rescued from the now redundant quarry, which would have been from one of the explosive boxes! An old bedstead is located in the garden - these are traditional of this area. Decorated with the original roof - apparently the oldest in the valley!! With red as the traditional mining colour in Wales, we have tried to keep the Welsh traditional feel going with Welsh words and slate a theme throughout the cottage.
It has a cosy wood burner to keep you warm on the coldest of nights, and although there is no mobile phone signal or TV reception, the owner provides a great choice of DVDs to watch – or you can take your own. You can also take your bike and ride one of the many bike trails in the area (bike hire is available nearby), or go walking in the Gwydyr Forest and see the fantastic wildlife! Thrill seekers will love Zip World Fforest, with its amazing treetop nets, in the pretty village of Betws-y-Coed, whilst you can do the same at Bounce Below in Blaenau Ffestiniog but deep underground in an old slate cavern, or even soar overhead on the world’s largest zip wire zone! If you’re a surf dude, then Surf Snowdonia, the world’s first artificial surfing lagoon, is only 16 miles away and is great for catching a wave, or a coffee and a cake! The Ffestiniog Railway, Portmeirion and Porthmadog are all within easy reach, as is Conwy and Llandudno. Shop 3 miles, pub 4 miles and restaurant 8 miles.

Great place for a base lovely cottage . As WiFi apps on tv so you can sign in to Netflix etc . Do a shop before you get there as supermarkets ten to miles away. Log burner so you need to get logs and bits . I’d recommend it

Me and my family we had an amazing time at Bryn Rhos Goch cottage. Love location ❤️ It’s located almost at the end of the world. The cottage is very cozy, though quite small. Far from the city bustle, we had time to play games, do puzzles, and watch DVDs by the warmth of the fireplace. It’s a wonderful place to recharge. All the little details—like the information written on stones—were very charming. Thank you for a wonderful time, and see you in the future. Joanna, Hein, Be, Bryan and Noodles ( sausage dog).
