Overview
Property code: OC-BOW234

Close to the popular Zip World and a short drive to paths and train up Yr Wyddfa- Snowdon, this 19th-century quarry workers house set in mountainous countryside of Eryri - the Snowdonia National Park, whose traditional and contemporary features have been thoughtfully blended. This is a welcoming holiday cottage that will serve activity-hungry families well throughout their holiday. The house is within 1 mile of the centre of Bethesda, a village that is home to, shops and pubs. The Carneddau mountain range, with the second and third highest peaks in Wales, lies 4.5 miles away from the cottage, while there are ample opportunities to absorb the Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, just under 1 mile away. The beaches on Anglesey are a short drive away.

The cosy and welcoming lounge is the ideal place to lose yourself in a good book, podcast or relax on the leather sofas in front of the wood burner effect fire after a long day out and about. The kitchen/diner is a bright and inviting space, with views of the surrounding mountains the perfect backdrop for food preparation, and there is also a handy utility room at the back of the property. There are two bedrooms upstairs, a king-size room and a single room, along with a bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bath.

There are more unforgettable mountain views in the enclosed garden boarded by plants and trees, with a small, decked area with seating across from a natural slate rock feature.

The cottage met and, indeed ,exceeded all our expectations. It is in an ideal location to get to the mountains and the seaside. Zip World and some lovely walks were available straight from the door. It had all the amenities we could possibly have wanted and we found it very comfortable and spacious for our needs (two of us). Even the Eryri weaRead morether was very good during our two week stay so we were very glad that we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden. We only had one day of relentless rain, and were more than happy to stay in the cottage, resting our aching legs after a particularly strenuous hike and watching TV and reading. As hikers, we particularly appreciated having the utility room with washer, dryer etc and the bathroom was fantastic with a great shower, bath and lots of space. We loved staying there and would definitely stay again. Hide

The cottage was super clean, beautiful luxurious bathroom and is in a lovely location, close to a pretty waterfall and a few min drive from magnificent lakes and mountains. We had a small problem with the heating which was sorted very quickly and efficiently by the hosts. Thank you for a lovely stay and would highly recommend this cottage.

The cottage was lovely. The kitchen was cozy and had all the appliances we needed alongside a table that was plenty big enough for the 2 of us but you could comfortably fit 4 there. We did not use the utility room due to a leak they informed us about before we were there (being fixed!!) but it had a washing machine ironing board and hoover, etc. ThRead moree living room was spacious with two comfy couches, a coffee table that we managed to fit our (massive) board games on, and a TV with freeview. They explained everything (local area, what to do with the bins and washing, etc) in a handbook which was a nice touch. Upstairs there was a small bedroom with a single bed, we did not use this as there was only the two of us but it would be fitting for a child, probably a bit small for an adult. Was a nice bedroom though with wardrobe space. The main bedroom was very comfortable and spacious, the bed itself was a perfect size. Wardrobe space was the same as the small bedroom so possibly could have been bigger but there was also a dresser so there was enough room for all our belongings on a 5 night visit. The bathroom was massive and gorgeous- the only fault would be the baths drain was not working properly. We managed to get it to work well enough for it to not bother us too much. The heating in the property was a small issue as the old gas fire (seemed unkept so we didnt bother after a while) was difficult to work and the central heating turns itself off after an hour and a half (manually turn it back on every time). I do understand this is for health and safety and appreciate that but it is very cold, bring blankets and hoodies. Both bedrooms had lovely views of the mountains and town. Outside was lovely- it is a shame about the weather as we would have loved to sit out there! Beautiful views and the parking is fine for 1 small/medium size car (although pebbled and a pain to parallel/reverse park into). The location is stunning and the town is nice enough, couple takeaways and pubs, tesco express and a londis. Locals seemed lovely, alongside the owners. Overall beautiful experience thank you, we would love to come back! Hide

Great cottage and location etc as per scores. The only minor thing is that, for me, it was not overly "comfy/cosy". Oddly there seemed to be a number of missing pictures from the walls, that may have warmed it up a bit. The living room was a bit echoey - a rug on the floor may have helped and made it more homely too. Due to the time of year I had Read moreto sit inside most the time (one day a used the patio outside) - with no large widows or views from inside this was not so good - but this isn't something you can change!! But it comes down to personal taste and not a criticism of the cottage - I'm sure others would have different views. Hide
