The most well-liked inland resort in North Wales is Betws-y-Coed, also referred to as the "Gateway to Snowdonia." This area is a refuge for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike because it is surrounded by thick forest and stunning mountain landscapes. Cascading waterfalls, river pools, and historic bridges add to the area's splendour where the River Conwy joins its three tributaries coming from the west at Betws-y-Coed. The majestic Swallow Falls, which are located where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a breath-taking chasm, are the most well-known of all. The village is home to the Snowdonia National Park Visitor Center and is the beginning of the lovely Conwy Valley, which leads to the coast and the charming towns of Llandudno and Conwy.

    Very clean and had everything we needed. We loved staying at this cottage and would love to visit again

  • Vicky

    Everything you could ever need, and spotlessly clean. Beds are really comfy too. The whole group celebrating our 50th birthday want to return. 6 seater hot tub, pool table and a pub about 15 mins walk away. No shops in walking distance, but we had a supermarket delivery to stock up with essentials.Thank you to the owner Iona.

  • Rebecca

    The owner was so accommodating when we arrived early with our baby too! The house was a perfect location to drive to all the nearby sites. I’m sure we will be back, highly recommend.
