Cot and highchair. Garden with terrace, patio, garden furniture and chiminea. Ample parking. No smoking. Please note: Families, couples and holidaymakers only. There are 12 steps and a sloping terrace in the garden.. Dating back to the Victorian era and a former vicarage, this large detached property is located slightly off the A5 historical route between Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig. The holiday property has been carefully restored retaining many original features, boasting a cosy and atmospheric wood burner, whilst a medieval highgate bed captures the Victorian period. The elevated gardens to the rear (steps may be slippery when wet) overlooks the mountains and local countryside.
The property is in an excellent location with the walks of Snowdon on the doorstep, including Llanberis Path, the easiest and longest route, The Miners’ Track, Snowdon Ranger Path and the Watkin Path. Capel Curig nestles in the foothills of Moel Siabod, Y Glyderau and Y Carneddau, endorsing the majestic view of the Snowdon horseshoe. Afon Llygwy flows through the village, making its way down to Betws-y-Coed, a nearby village where forests, lakes and mountains combine to produce a stunning landscape. Coffee shops, craft houses, a miniature steam railway and a number of good eating houses are located in the centre of Betws-y-Coed village.
Day trips to consider would be Bodnant Gardens, set in one of North Wales’ most famous estates, or Conway, with its castle walls, marina, selection of shops and delicatessens, not forgetting the smallest house in the UK according to the Guinness Book of Records. Llangollen in the opposite direction is a pleasant Welsh town with its horse-drawn canal boats, light railway, Dr Who experience, and world famous festivals such as the annual Eisteddfod. Beddgelert is a short drive and is good for walkers or children wishing to visit Gelert’s Grave. Most areas of the Lleyn Peninsula are within an hour’s drive, where good beaches and watersports can be found. Portmeirion village is also great for a day trip with its exotic plants and Italianate buildings. Fishing and golf are available within 5 miles. Shop 1 mile, pub ¼ mile.

Well proportioned house in a very good location for exploring North Wales. The communication with the owner was excellent - kind & accommodating. The house has everything you need & a well loved, family feel. It’s set back off a road, with ample parking which means easy access to beauty spots - but also it’s not a spot in “splendid isolation”. However - this is north wales & traffic is very light!

Excellent cottage, warm, cosy, great TV and Wi-Fi.
Excellent cottage, warm, cosy, great TV and Wi-Fi. Lovely pub 10 minutes walk away.
Useful utility room for boots, wet coats and bikes.
No downstairs loo but 3 upstairs!
The house has a lovely homely feel. Unfortunately it wasn’t very clean, needs a good deep clean. Couldn’t use the garden as steps were very slippery due to wet weather but the area out the front of the house was fine to toilet the dogs.
Great location for looking around the area- local pub served good food.

A very enjoyable holiday - the weather was kind to us as we had five out of six dry daytimes. Pretty good for North Wales! This meant that we were away from the property for much of the time and so less dependent on the facilities in Cartref. A comfortable, well equipped house with plenty of character.
