About this property
Betws-y-Coed. Sitting amidst the picturesque scenery of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in Betws-y-Coed, North Wales, is this fabulous, detached cottage of Glyndwr Bach. A stylish base for a couple who love the outdoors, Glyndwr Bach rests moments away from the delights of Gwydir Forest Park and the Ty'n Llwyn Walking Trail. Upon arrival, you'll be glad to uncover an off-road parking space, making unpacking and settling in an easy task. Proceed inside to find a fantastic open-plan living space, where a range of stylish furnishings and fittings await, including the sitting area's plush corner sofa, where you can curl up in front of the wall-mounted TV together. After relaxing for a while, walk over to the contemporary kitchen, where sleek units contain all you need to rustle up easy meals, such as a two-ring hob and a microwave. These meals can be tucked into at the adjoining breakfast bar or brought out to the private patio, where you can savour an alfresco dinner before enjoying a well-earned dip in the neighbouring hot tub. After soaking up your peaceful surroundings, make your way inside again and climb the spiral staircase to find a welcoming, mezzanine double; the space features the sophisticated touch of a glass balustrade and is bathed in natural light, courtesy of the Velux windows. In the morning, freshen up in the ground-floor shower room, where slate tiling not only gives a nod to the surroundings but gives the space a sleek feel. After embarking on a hike along Afon Llugwy to Swallow Falls Waterfall or climbing up to Cerigiau Gleison, travel a short way to the centre of Betws-y-Coed, where you'll be welcomed by a range of superb eateries, from Y Stablau to Hangin' Pizzeria, where you can reward yourself with a delicious meal. Get to know more of Betws-y-Coed, where the delights of the local golf club, the Conwy Valley Railway Museum and Zip World Fforest are bound to keep you entertained; don't forget to travel up to the close-by Cyrau Viewpoint for a bit of mountain-biking! Continue the fun at Llanrwst, where you can enjoy access to Gwydir Mawr & Bach as well as the North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, ideal for birdwatching and leisurely walks amidst nature. Be sure to check out Blaenau Ffestiniog, where you can ride the renowned Ffestiniog Railway and soak up the National Park's magnificent sights; when you return from your railway adventure, why not explore the stunning Tanygrisiau Reservoir? Head towards the west coast and spend some time at Porthmadog or Portmeirion, or perhaps you'd prefer to venture to Anglesey or the north coast for the day? Choose Glyndwr Bach for a romantic getaway packed with fun!
Betws-y-Coed, often called the Entrance to Snowdonia, is the most renowned inland resort in North Wales.

Just about big enough for two of us and our hiking gear. 10 minute walk into Betws-y-Coed with great shops, pubs and restaurants. 10 minute drive to the Mountains. Perfect for a weekend in the hills.

Wales is quite expensive for eating out but its choice as you can eat in if you want to cook your own food. A really nice touch with the welcome hamper left for us. My partner is 6 foot tall and banged his quite often on the bedroom ceiling and staircase so be careful. It gave me a few laughs. We loved the hot tub but it can be a problem with midges around the water. My partner got bitten really badly and looked like he had measles. Would be a good idea to tell guests to bring insect repellent or even provide this. The bed was very noisy when turning over in the night due to loose bolts at the bottom. And the bathroom door was very squeeky which could do with sorting. Could do with another toilet roll leaving as two for a week isn't really enough. However these minor things would not stop us staying again, they are just an honest review of our time here. Lovely place thankyou Lucy and Gari
