Guests that stayed at this property said
The cleanliness of the cottage has received mixed reviews. One guest mentioned it appeared unclean upon arrival, which suggests room for improvement. However, no other reviews have raised this issue, indicating that this may not be a consistent problem.
The location is frequently described as fantastic, with the property being in a quiet area close to the village and local attractions. The beautiful garden and river view are particularly appreciated.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with mentions of comfortable beds and a cosy fireplace. One guest noted the master bed mattress was hard, but this seems to be an isolated opinion.
Facilities are well-regarded, with guests mentioning great facilities and a fully equipped kitchen. However, there are minor maintenance issues like a non-functioning blind and TV reception problems.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in gestures like providing a Christmas tree. However, as such gestures may vary and are not guaranteed, guests should consider them a bonus rather than an expectation.
About this property
Betws-y-Coed 0.7 miles. This wonderful detached cottage is situated in an enviable riverside location on the edge of the popular town of Betws-y-Coed in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. This beautifully presented property is set on its own grounds and is ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends wishing to get together to explore this fantastic area of Wales. The cottage combines character features such as beams and some original sash windows with contemporary convenience. You approach the property up a lovely wooded driveway. The entrance porch with its quarry-tiled floor doubles as a convenient boot room, perfect for kicking off those muddy boots after a day of exploring and the washing machine and tumble dryer are neatly tucked away behind cupboard doors. The kitchen is well-equipped with quality oak mix worktops and has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, with a lovely stable door that can be opened to take in the garden and river views. After a busy day, relax in front of the woodburning stove in the well-appointed sitting room. Upstairs three pleasant bedrooms are offering flexible accommodation. The master bedroom has high ceilings with beams as well as a king-size bed and there is a further double and a delightful single with riverside views. There is a tasteful family bathroom. Outside, relax in the picturesque front garden where you can enjoy the myriad of birdlife and wildlife on the doorstep. Guests also have shared use of the grounds which extend further around the Manor House. There are countryside walks on the doorstep or for the more energetic the mountains of the Snowdonia Range are a short drive away. The popular town of Betws-y-Coed with its array of eclectic shops and restaurants is a short walk away and is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. There are opportunities for walking, mountain biking, and climbing to name a few. Visit Zip World Forest for a tree-top adventure or visit the scenic Fairy Glen or Swallow Falls. Train enthusiasts will want a visit to nearby Ffestiniog with its narrow gauge steam railway and even the coast and the historic walled town of Conwy are within a day's trip. There really is something for everyone from this stunning property.
Bethel is a small village with one pubs, a Post Office, and a 9-hole golf course is nearby. The village is situated in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, only 5 miles from famous Llanberis. Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris, and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. Llanberis is something of a 'mecca' for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdonia Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Llanberis boasts excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 4 miles from Bethel, on the coast, is Caernarfon with its magnificent 13th century castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd and many wonderful beaches.

Was really disappointed when we arrived as it didnât look like it had actually been cleaned from the previous families stay. The kitchen was very dirty, I had to clean the kitchen including some of the internal cupboards. One of the blinds in master bedroom didnât work. The master bed mattress was so hard and uncomfortable. Such a shame as the cottage itself is beautiful and the setting stunning. Just such a shame it was dirty. Not sure if we will return.
