About this property
Nestled in a National Park in the old town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, is this stylish mid terrace, TurTwig Cottage. Enjoying a toasty woodburning stove and just paces away from amenities to assist with your self-catered stay, this two-bedroom home is ideal for a family of four. Leave your vehicle on the roadside before stepping inside to discover the industrial style living/dining room, where you can curl up with a cup of tea besides the woodburning stove. Tuck-into heart-warming meals at the dining table, which can be prepared in the kitchen adjacent, courtesy of the gas oven and hob, before enjoying a friendly competitive game of air hockey. When the sun is shining, carry the conversation out on to rear courtyard and why not savour a glass of wine to celebrate your hideaway? As the evening cools, retire inside and enjoy a hot shower on either the ground floor or first floor, where a heated rail will keep your towel fluffy and warm. When sleep calls, choose between two beautifully presented doubles, both with hanging rails and bedside lamps so you can enjoy some bedtime reading. Awaken with a cup of coffee on the front patio to absorb the setting, with views of a spectacular mountain and enjoy a home-cooked breakfast at the dining table. TurTwig Cottage is an excellent base for the adventurers at heart, with the thrilling Zip World Llechwedd, the cascading Cwmorthin Waterfall and Ceunant Llennyrch National Nature Reserve for a ramble. History buffs may wish to visit the harbour town of Porthmadog; here you can unveil the past at Maritime Museum, hop aboard a steam train for a trip through the mountains or if that's not for you, sample the quaint cafes and boutique stores. For a special escape, spend the afternoon in the village of Betws-y-Coed, home to a plethora of walks, where you can explore Swallow Falls or delve into deep forests for wonderful wildlife. Whisk your loves ones to TurTwig Cottage for a memorable getaway.

Exactly like the photos, cozy, clean and homely throughout. Lovely little house to come home to after wet February walks ! Good base to see North Wales. Quiet little village 2 stores, takeaways and pubs close by..Parking wasn't an issue in the little dead end street. Well equipt kitchen, washer/dryer and lots of little extras for our dog .....throws and bowls etc. Perfect home, perfect stay.

We were so impressed how nicely renovated the cottage was and fitted out with virtually everything one needed, as well as being spotlessly clean. It was beautifully decorated and the beds were super comfy; we felt right at home and had plenty of space for my husband and I and our teenage son. We were very happy to have had a washing machine and dishwasher and the wide array of kitchen utensils that included a french press, electric kettle, toaster and microwave. The property is situated in a nice quiet area - street parking was easy to find. Grocery stores were very close by and the location is ideal for taking the blaenau ffestiniog railway train and very near hiking trails and other quaint towns. Just a few things - would be great to have had a clothes drying rack and maybe a few extra towels.

Had everything we needed. The entire downstairs area was lovely. Air hockey table is something a bit different and definitely fun! Kitchen was well equipped. Bathrooms were lovely, ours was the downstairs one and the shower was fab! Bedrooms were also good with plenty of storage. Enclosed areas out the front and back were great for the dog and also the children. Such a lovely part of the country to stay, the views and scenery were incredible! Also have to mention how amazing the owners were, we had car trouble and were about to be stranded on our last day as we couldn't physically leave but we were able to book a couple extra nights (which was so easy to do) while we figured out the car. Thank you for a lovely stay!
