This two-bed cottage at the end of a single-track road doesn’t disappoint, sleeping four in total tranquillity amid stunning Welsh countryside. It’s ideal for a family, small group or couple seeking a restful break. Feeling energetic? The property overlooks Llyn Crafnant reservoir where there’s hiking and fishing, as well as a cafe. Betws-y-Coed is around 8 miles away, as is Zip World Fforest with its toboggan-style rollercoaster and zip wire safaris. Top up on supplies in Trefriw, just 3 miles away, while Llanwrst has a train station 5 miles away. The golden sands of Conwy Morfa Beach are 14 miles if you fancy a bucket and spade day along the coast.

Original features abound in this attractive two-storey restored stone cottage. Beamed ceilings, wooden floors and rustic exposed stone walls make the interiors feel cosy. Settle down on the living room sofa in front of the wood burner in its inglenook fireplace. The open-plan kitchen/diner is small but perfectly formed and even offers a window seat. The light wooden furniture throughout the property echoes the forest outside. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms: one double and one twin room. Both bedrooms share a shower room with WC.

This beautiful holiday cottage is set within 6 acres of grounds, shared with the cottage owner and their dogs who live in the adjacent property. There’s a private seating area for the cottage and a terraced garden to the rear. It’s all unfenced which makes it possible to access the lakeside pebble beach via paths through the garden. Likewise, there’s easy access to cycling and walking trails straight from the property.

Loved the cottage, the fireplace created warmth and ambience, the setting of the cottage on the lake with a beautiful walk around the lake, was peaceful and heavenly. The owners were really helpful, not intrusive.

The property was very cosy in traditional Welsh style with lots of traditional furniture. Beautiful views across the lake. Utterly tranquil. The only sounds being the birds and the lapping of water. Well situated for many attractions especially Betws y Coed. Good food and dog friendly restaurant locally.
