About this property
Laurel sits on the quiet edge of the Bodnant Estate, looking west across the Conwy Valley to the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia). It sleeps four, with a private hot tub on the patio and a heated indoor pool shared with just one neighbouring cottage - available to guests around the clock. Dog-friendly and all on one level, with a dedicated boot room for walkers. Bodnant Garden is ten minutes away; Conwy Castle, the coast and the mountains are all within easy reach.
Laurel: Indoor Pool, Hot Tub & Panoramic Views
Laurel sleeps four across two ground-floor bedrooms, with sliding glass doors in the living area opening onto a private patio and the view beyond. The valley stretches west towards the peaks of Eryri, with woodland from the Bodnant Estate framing the foreground. It’s a quiet spot - no traffic noise, just open countryside - the kind of place where you find yourself spending more time outside than expected, whatever the weather.
Outside your door: a private hot tub on the patio and a heated indoor pool shared with just one neighbouring cottage, available to guests around the clock. Both cottages are dog-friendly, and Laurel is entirely on one level, making it a practical choice for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.
Local Area
The location earns its keep. Bodnant Garden is three miles down the road, the mountain bike trails of Gwydir Forest Park are on the doorstep and Zip World's sites at Betws-y-Coed, Llechwedd and Penrhyn Quarry are all within easy reach. Conwy Castle, Llandudno and the coast are under half an hour away. For most guests, the harder question isn't what to do, but what to leave for next time.
Group Bookings
Laurel shares a courtyard with Fig Tree, our neighbouring cottage sleeping five. Booked together as The Entire Getaway, the two cottages accommodate up to nine guests - ideal for extended families or multi-generational groups who want to holiday together while keeping their own front doors, living spaces and kitchens.
Laurel is available year-round, with short breaks from two nights available outside peak season. Friday and Monday are our standard changeover days.
