Haulfryn

About this property

A delightful semi-detached cottage situated in an elevated position above the old mining village of Bethesda, bordering the Snowdonia National Park. At the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain range, in magnificent North Wales, this splendid cottage has been lovingly restored to provide a warm and welcoming environment in which to holiday. Haulfryn, (Welsh for sun hill), provides the perfect accommodation for a family or a group of friends looking to explore all that this beautiful region has to offer. Step inside into the spacious dining area and walk through into the bright and airy sitting room, offering comfy furniture and a warming woodburning stove set in a slate-and-stone surround, ideal for relaxing after a day adventuring along the North Wales coastline. The modern fitted kitchen benefits from a utility area with washer/dryer and Belfast sink, ideal for storing wellies and walking boots alike. Upstairs, the three bedrooms have been lovingly furnished with both comfort and convenience in mind: there’s a luxurious king-size double with plug sockets incorporating USB ports, a double and a set of adult bunks, along with a stylish family bathroom. To the side of the property, there’s off road parking for three cars, plenty of room for all the family, and to the front there is a cheery porch where you can enjoy the morning sunshine with a cup of coffee whilst you admire the dramatic views across the valley to the former Bethesda slate quarries. Venture outside to the rear of the property and you’ll find nine steps leading to a private enclosed patio. This spot is a real sun trap where you can make the most of the afternoon sun with a good book and a cup of tea. Just a ten minute walk will take you into the village of Bethesda where you’ll find a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants spread along the bustling high street. Closer to home, the Douglas Arms, an award-winning CAMRA listed pub, serves a fine selection of real ales and has a delightful beer garden with views of the mountain range beyond. For the adrenaline junkies amongst your party, across the valley there’s Zip World, home to Europe’s longest 500ft-high zip line and the stunning coastline of North Wales and Anglesey is only twenty minutes away by car. With something for everyone, this welcoming cottage is the perfect base from which to indulge in a relaxing and truly memorable holiday.

Bethesda is a small village settled beside the River Ogwen in North Wales. Situated on the A5 between Bangor and the Snowdonia National Park, Bethesda was once a busy slate quarrying town and nowadays offers a good selection of shops and other amenities, in particular a large number of chapels and pubs.
