This house was so comfortable! Wish we could have stayed longer. Right on the main road into Beddgelert - so easy access to pubs and shops. But also quiet and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the patio for breakfast and dinner and even just to relax - the river is beautiful and we loved seeing the cows across the way coming down to drink. The kitchen was well-equipped - we cooked breakfast every morning and several dinners during our 5 night stay. Street parking out front was easy (and free). Would definitely stay here again!

Very cool place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay, the river is your backyard and we slept with the windows open at night to listen to the nature. Location is fantastic, it was quiet, clean and nicely appointed. Lynn was an excellent host. I would definitely stay here again on our next adventure to north Wales.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful village

Simple but well appointed, clean cottage perfect for a family of 4. The river behind the property was a lovely feature and a 5 minute walk into the village for the shop, coffee shop or ice cream. Great location to explore snowdon or lots of the surrounding Moel’s, abergaslyn falls is a lovely walk.

Beautiful cottage in perfect location

We had a fantastic stay at Rhiwlas. The cottage was immaculately presented and thoughtfully equipped, and the location on the banks of the River Colwyn is stunning - lovely to sit out on the terrace for breakfast or an evening drink. Lynn is an excellent host and has clearly thought of every last detail. We look forward to retuning next year.

Tranquil base to explore Eryri.

Had a lovely late September stay. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed for our little family break away to explore Eryri. Parking outside the cottage was never an issue and with the heart of the village just a few minutes walk down the road, the location next to the gently flowing river Colwyn was tranquil. Thank you Lynn for being a great host.

Beddgelert cottage

Beddgelert is the prettiest village in north Wales, and this property is beautifully located along one of the rivers. We were very pleased with the rental, and Beddgelert made a perfect base for hill walking. Several hikes started out our front door. The electric charging for our rental car was also conveniently located <1 mile up the road. Highly recommended.

Great Location

Rhiwlas is small but perfectly formed. It has everything you need especially in the kitchen and the biscuits and milk left for us was very welcoming. We had a little trouble with the shower but Lynn had it sorted within the hour. Impressive! The location on the banks of the river is lovely and the easy walking distance into Bedd Gelert is great. We always managed to find a parking space outside. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Rhiwlas Cottage was perfect, clean and lovely size and had everything in that made a stay extremely comfortable. The setting is in the most idyllic picture postcard place. The river running along the bottom of the split level patios was so tranquil - all you could hear was the flow and the birds singing. Was easy to book initially and Lynn was the perfect host, a lovely friendly lady - kept us updated and was happy to answer any questions we had at any time. We couldn’t have wished for anything better and would thoroughly recommend staying at Rhiwlas. We’ll definitely stay again without hesitation.
