3 as a family of 4, with children aged 2 and 2 months. We Found the cottage to be very comfortable with everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked for making meals. Lots of toys and games available, so we didnât really use the ones we brought. The boot room entrance was great to dump all our wet things on rainy February weekend. The underfloor heating was amazing. A stair gate at the top would have been a great bonus but didnât affect our stay. Great food options on your doorstep. The trains going past didnât affect us sleep wise, and our 2 year old loved it. Felt very well information with the information regarding parking etc before we arrived. Would definitely stay again, and have chance to explore more of the area.

We were well informed prior to arrival on the location of the Cottage and parking. The Cottage is well equipped, comfortable and warm. We felt at home there - modern kitchen, bathroom and facilities, underfloor heating throughout, and the entrance area is perfect for coats & walking gear, so you can off load before entering. The location in Betws-y-Coed is perfect. We were lucky to have been there for the first snowfall and the drive into the mountains that morning was magical - there's so much to see and do in the area. I would definitely look to see if 3 Railway Cottages was available if we stayed in Betws-y-Coed in the future.
