Ship Cottage, Llanrug, Snowdonia

This is a property of great distinction with its foundations set in history over 300 years ago. Established as a quarry mans ale house, then called the Ship Inn. From horse draw delivery of slate to the exporting ships on the coast, up until steam train delivery ceasing in the 1960's this property remained set up as a place for hard working men to take refreshment. Improved and lovingly maintained by myself it is now a romantic character cottage, retaining all of its original features. The inglenook fire place blends in with slate topped kitchen units and cosy bedrooms, with toilet and shower upstairs and luxurious bathroom on the ground floor in where the ale used to be kept. Through the rear windows the summit of Snowdon is in majestic view as it is from the decked area at the side of Ship. There is a large parking area to the rear of the cottage and a lock up shed to hold bicycles and canoes. Activity holidays are encouraged although not obligarory as it is a brilliant place to come and relax. Shops are available within walking distance as to are local Inns and eating houses. The village of Llanrug is predominantly Welsh speaking and they are just waiting to say croeso y cymru.

A good place to be as it is central to everything you can do and eat. if you have a large car you need to take a long way round as if you take the sort way the roads are narrow

A treasure off the beaten path
This cottage is a gem, as is its owner, Basil Rose. His loving renovation of the property makes it shine with welcome and comfort. It is unique in the best possible way, like finding a fairy house in the woods. It is a rural location with grazing sheep across the road but within walking distance or a short drive to amenities. We so enjoyed returning to this lovely cottage after a day of exploring the gorgeous areas all around us.

Lovely little cottage
A well maintained cottage in a quiet country lane. Spotlessly clean inside with pretty much everything you need for your stay provided, bedding, towels and all kitchen utensils. Plus a lovely log burner in the lounge

Basil the perfect host
My second visit to ship cottage, it’s Spotlessly clean and Basil the owner is the perfect host, on hand to meet you on arrival and he lives next door so easy to contact if you have any problems. It’s got a lovely big bath too, perfect for relaxing in after my night trek up mount snowdon in aid of Marie Curie.

Ship Cottage - five wonderful days
The cottage is clean, c o for table and extremely well set up to cater for all tastes. Even though there is a road just outside the situation is quiet and peaceful with only a short 5 - 10 minute stroll to convince stores and pubs.

Perfect little cottage for family of 4. Cosy and full of character, with a fire for cold evenings, and outdoor space for hot ones. Really comfy beds. Will stay again.
