About this property
A delightful 18th century terraced barn conversion offering comfortable, light and airy living accommodation. Full of character and with impressive views of the Snowdonia mountain range, Meifod is perfect for a relaxing holiday. This property adjoins Ref. 1519 Arfron and Ref. 1521 Bwthyn and together they can accommodate up to 9 people.
Betws-y-Coed is North Wales' most popular inland resort. A large portion of the village was built in Victorian times, situated where the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west: the Llugwy, the Lledr and the Machno. Set in a beautiful valley in the Snowdonia Forest Park, Betws-Y-Coed is ideal for outdoor activity holidays. Numerous Craft and outdoor activity shops are in the village with the popular Swallow Falls nearby. The wonderful setting comprises dense woodland and magnificent mountains which play host to cascading waterfalls, hill-top lakes, river pools and ancient bridges. Ever since Victorian artists flocked to the area and formed the first artist colony it has been a Mecca for those that appreciate its unique natural beauty.
Betws-Y-Coed has numerous inns and there are a number of shops that specialise in outdoor clothes. At the railway station is a Museum with a miniature railway, shop and restaurant. The old 14th Century church of St Michael's is one of the oldest in Wales and attracts many visitors each year.

It was very comfortable, very clean, the owners made us feel welcome and there was ample parking. The accommodation matched the description exactly. There is only 1 slight drawback and that is clearly included in the description. After getting wet on the hills it would be nice to be able to wash and dry your clothes, but as described in the notes there is no laundry facilities. We would not let this stop us returning to this cottage.

For us, both in our 80's, one with a wonky leg and the other with poor eyesight, we did find the steps down to the courtyard and up into the cottage a bit of a challenge, as was the lovely wooden staircase inside, with its quite tall risers. We also found we kept being caught out by the sunken doormat just inside the front door. But for anyone without a disability they probably wouldn't even notice these things. The one thing we did wish for was an electric kettle instead of having to mess about with the gas stove just to make a cup of tea. Having reached our 80's without ever having gas, this was a bit of a learning curve for us!

Kathy and John are very attentive and friendly and went above and beyond for us. Meifod is a lovely and cosy place to stay especially after a long day in the mountains. I will definitely continue to come back! Thank you again for a lovely stay!
