About this property

A wonderful end of terrace, stone-built cottage resting in an elevated position amidst the traditional village of Tanygrisiau which has just been granted UNESCO world heritage status. With plenty of walks from the doorstep and fabulous views over the Moelwyn mountain range, this retreat is well-suited for a romantic break, or those looking for a sense of adventure. The ground floor is home to an entrance hallway, which continues through to a pretty lounge featuring an elegant sofa, woodburning stove and dining for four people. Take a step down to the modern kitchen, here you can prepare those home cooked meals amongst the dramatic mountain landscape which almost follows you around. Open up the French doors and stroll outside to be at one with it all, a lovely place to relax and take in the natural scenery, while enjoying the soothing sounds of the waterfall. Take the stairs to the next floor where you will find an all-white bathroom containing an overhead shower, with a Velux window overseeing the formation. Two bedrooms promise a good nights sleep; the first is presented as a double, complemented by front-facing views and chandeliers which uplift the room in a boutique fashion. The single bedroom is equally as stylish, however this time views reach out towards the mountains, so you can wake up to the serene backdrop every day that goes by. The village stands amongst enticing scenery, and Tanygrisiau is a good starting point for many walks, especially if your intention is to climb Moelwyn itself. A short distance away is Blaenau Ffestiniog home to a variety of shops and pubs, best known for its tourist attractions. A short drive takes you to Zip World Titan with its amazing zip lines or Bounce Below with its underground trampolines for a great day out. Visit delightful Betws-y-Coed, the Italianate Village at Portmeirion, or Bala, appreciated for its renowned white water rafting opportunities. A characterful location for a heart-warming stay.

The traditional Welsh village of Tanygrisiau, meaning "below the steps'' is situated within reach of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The village stands amongst dramatic scenery, and Tanygrisiau is a good starting point for many walks, especially if your intention is to climb Moelwyn itself. Tanygrisiau railway station is on the famous Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow gauge railway built to carry slate from the mines down to the sea at Porthmadog; today it is a renowned tourist attraction providing stunning views on its trip to the coast.

    Thanks so much to Rob and Debbie for going out of their way to get our WIFI and TV fixed (through no fault of theirs) during our stay, and for their kindness and hospitality in making us feel welcomed and looked after. I've been coming to Snowdonia for over 25 years and love it, and I have stayed in many holiday cottages over this time but few I would return to if I'm honest...however 19 Cwmorthin Road is not one of them and I will definitely be returning as often as I can afford!! Brilliant location with lots of mountains, rivers, waterfalls, lakes and slate quarries to explore - all from the front door. The cottage is clean, lovely kitchen, and bathroom and bedrooms are perfect. The only suggestion I would have is to reinstate the cottage handbook, to help with how to use equipment, recycling, etc., however Rob did mention that it is currently being updated. Wonderful place to stay both in terms of location, and the cottage itself and its reasonably priced too!! Thanks Rob & Debbie x

    The cottage is very convenient for some lovely walks. Thank you.

  • Carl

    It is very comfortable and clean with a real homely feel. The walks from the door step up to the dam, around the lake and up past the waterfall to the old mining buildings are all worth doing. Add in the wonderful views from the back garden and you'll appreciate how lucky you feel staying here. Rob and Debbie kept in touch to make sure we had everything we wanted, which was a lovely personal touch.
