Inside, the sitting room offers a Smart TV and a woodburning stove for relaxed evenings in. Next to this is a well-equipped kitchen/diner for preparing and enjoying meals together. The enclosed rear patio has outdoor furniture, making it a pleasant spot for a morning coffee or an alfresco meal, while the light-filled conservatory provides another space to sit back with a book or a drink.

Upstairs, there’s a double bedroom and a twin, both simply styled for comfort, along with a bathroom featuring a bath and shower over. During your stay at Chandos, the Eeyri/Snowdonia area is not only stunningly beautiful but is regarded as a natural playground, with its mountains, waterfalls, forests and beaches. Adrenaline seekers will enjoy the nearby Zip World Llechwedd with its thrilling zip lines and underground adventures. Nature lovers can visit Rhaeadr Ewynnol (Swallow Falls) for spectacular views, while Betws-y-Coed offers a tourist information centre and local attractions like Pont-y-Pair Bridge and the River Llugwy. The historic Ffestiniog Railway provides scenic rail tours through the National Park, departing from nearby Blaenau Ffestiniog.

For quieter days, follow the walking trails of Gwydir Forest Park or explore the wide-open spaces of the Carneddau and Glyderau reserves, managed by the National Trust. Enjoy all of this and more at Chandos.

Situated in the beautiful Lledr Valley at the foot of Moel Siabod in the Snowdonia National Park, just 6 miles from the popular tourist centre of Betws-y-Coed, the pretty village of Dolwyddelan is an ideal location from which to explore the whole of this spectacular mountain region. The village has a church dating to around 1500, whilst on the outskirts of the village is the 13th century Dolwyddelan Castle, which boasts magnificent views from its battlements. There are numerous walks in the mountains and the Gwydyr Forest and the railway line along the valley makes it possible to combine a walk one way with a return by train. The Afon Lledr is noted for sea trout and salmon fishing, and visiting golfers are welcome at the 9-hole course at Betws-y-Coed. Dolwyddelan village has a late-opening general store and two pubs serving bar meals, whilst within 8 miles, Betws-y-Coed, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Llanrwst offer a wide range of amenities.
