Mr Belcher
Loved this place, exceeded expectations. Location is stunning, the mountains, stream, waterfalls and the amount of walks straight from the door is incredible. We loved sitting out at night and just enjoying the stars, the sound of the water and the silence. Cottage is warm, cosy and relaxing. I couldn't find the words to fully describe just how much we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay at this charming cottage. It’s in such a stunning location, and my children loved exploring the surrounding hills and streams. The cottage is well equipped for a self catering holiday. We would love to return one day!

This cottage is a charming place, steeped in warm family history and set in the most idyllic of landscapes. Every single window offers breathtaking views, especially the ones from the back of the cottage that look up at Cwm Glas Bach and Clogwyn Station! There are so many hiking options directly from the door of the cottage, including a (challenging!) route directly to the summit of Snowdon. One of the best things about the cottage is that it has direct access to the incredible mountain streams and waterfalls which are great for cold water plunges or simply just meditating next too. Also, at night there are wonderful views of the Milky Way. Honestly, this is a magical, warm and cozy hideaway which will really appeal to lovers of the wild Welsh mountains!
