About this property
An 18th century terraced barn conversion full of character with beautiful views of Snowdonia. Offering comfortable open-plan living accommodation, Bwthyn is ideal for a peaceful and relaxing break.
This property adjoins Ref. 1519 Arfron and Ref. 1520 Meifod and together they can accommodate up to 9 people.
Betws-Y-Coed has truly achieved its status as the âGateway to Snowdonia'. Set in a stunning and temperate valley in the Snowdonia National Park, the village has served as an inspiration to artists and painters since Victorian times. Sitting on the banks of the River Conwy, Betws-Y-Coed is an ideal base for a variety of outdoor pursuits. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in the hundreds of square miles of unspoilt scenery that houses an abundance of birds, animals and species of rare plant. Walkers, mountain-bikers and climbers can anticipate the challenges offered by Mount Snowdon and her smaller cousins. For the less adventurous, a railway has been constructed that will take you to the summit of Snowdon, allowing you to experience the breathtaking views without the breathtaking effort. The village is well facilitated, the inns and pubs serving good local food to weary travellers and it plays host to a number of festivals throughout the year such as the Snowdonia Mountain Run.

Everything needed is provided. The owners are very helpful. We had a problem with the shower but he came straightaway and fixed it. The only comment I would have is the lack of a blind for the skylight above the stairs, as I woke every morning, as soon as it got light, but I appreciate that this could be difficult, due to the height. The cottage is in a beautiful, rural position, with no traffic noise at all, which we were thankful for.

We were made to feel very welcome on our arrival by the owners Kathy and John. Most places of interest were within and hour or so drive and only 10 minutes from Betws-y-Coed. The weather was not particularly good to us but did not stop us getting out and enjoying the beautiful scenery and coastal resorts. Two downside things to the Cottage were 1) The Shower. Very small and the water pressure was poor, nothing more than a trickle. We were told about this on arrival but to late by then. We have stayed in a lot of Holiday Cottages and this is the worst Shower we have come across. 2) The Bed. Wooden frame with wooden slatted base and a thin Mattress. This made the bed very low and (in our opinion) not very comfortable. Despite these two things we would like to thank Kathy and John and would recommend this Cottage for a couple looking for a peaceful holiday.
