Cozy and inviting cottage, great Shower, comfy beds and living area, great kitchen, everything you need. You are attached to the bigger house but not an issue at all, very private, own parking area and garden, right across the road from Gyndyr Forrest park, so walks on the doorstep, easy walking or 5 mins in car to Llanwrst, for Co-op and great Chinese takeaway or longer walk/10 mins in car to Betws-y-coed, which is a beautiful (but busy) little Village full of cafes, shops & restaurants. We travelled to the Coast, Anglesey, Caernarvon, LLandudno as well as taking lots of local dog walks. Would highly recommend.

The cottage was very quiet and this allowed us to sleep extremely well. Altogether, it was a really nice experience in spite of the anticipated rain and we would certainly recommended it to others.
