  • "I leave this review with a huge level of reluctance."

    .. as I want to keep it my little secret. :) Coed Derw Isaf is a real gem. We started our holiday with all the family and when everyone drifted back to work, my wife and I chilled out for the rest of our say. Coed Derw Isaf felt like home when it was full of family or just the two of us. We wanted for nothing. Our hosts ensured we had a lovely welcome and all our needs were catered for. Beautifully decorated throughout and loads of room to spread out and relax. Positioned within walking distance of the lovely Betws-y-Coed and a short drive from the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia Eryri national park you are well placed for a great holiday. I highly recommend Coed Derw Isaf and can't wait to return.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review, We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner

  • "Exactly the cottage we needed for our holiday in Wales."

    Set in a quiet location but within walking distance of the village this property was ideal for us. There are walks from the door but also plenty of walks within a thirty minute drive. The cottage is clean, well equipped with a lovely garden for relaxing after those long, uphill walks. The bedrooms are light and airy with really comfortable beds and the showers are some of the best we've ever used. There was no space available in the kitchen for our shopping as all the cupboards were full and the low backed sofas and chairs were a little uncomfortable. Neither of these two things was insurmountable and in now way spoilt our stay. We are already planning our return to Coed Derw Isaf and would highly recommend this property. Thank you Sara and Pete for being lovely hosts.

    Thank you for your lovely review - we are pleased you enjoyed your stay - I’ll sort some space out in kitchen as things are spread out a bit! Sofas I have a think but thank you! Sara and Pete Property Owner

  • "The property was very near perfect."

    Very cleanly decorated and well equipped. Ideally located just out of town so it was nice and quiet. We were six walkers coming back from wet winter walks and there was always plenty of hot water to satisfy our showers. The gardens were tidy and well maintained and would be wonderful in spring and summer. The only two negatives were the key box. We had difficulty every time as it was very fiddily to open. Secondly a tumble dryer for drying our walking kit would have been very helpful. Not insurmountable but better than cluttering up radiators.

    Thank you for your feedback I’ll check the key box maybe it’s suffered over the wet months! I have considered a tumble dryer and thank you for your kind comments Sara and Pete Property Owner

    It was a perfect location in idyllic surroundings. Sara and Pete were on hand if needed, it was wonderful to have a chat and say thankyou face to face before we left when Sara came to say goodbye. 100% we would recommend Coed Derw Isaf, and will hopefully be back again.

  • "Had a great stay at Coed Derw Isaf."

    A lovely home in pretty surroundings with most shops a short walk away. Due to a medical emergency we under occupied by 4 people but this would accommodate 8 people with ease. I was fortunate enough to have the master bedroom which was a pleasure to stay in including the vast bathroom which I swam in several times. My only moan would be the mattresses in both of the larger rooms, as all four of us using these 2 rooms were not sleeping very well and aching quite a bit throughout the week. Maybe time to replace the mattresses. However, saying that I'll be back in a heartbeat as my brother lives close by and we intend to try again with another family get together. Thank you, but I do urge you to test drive your bed for a night, xx

    Thank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay - with regards to the matteress the one in the main master bedroom is new - we have replaced the one in the other larger double . Many thanks Sara Property Owner

    The gardens are well kept with plenty of areas for sitting outside and lots of space to park several cars. The lounge is large with space for everyone to sit together and there is lots of equipment provided in the kitchen for meals to be prepared. We enjoyed visiting many places in the area and would love to return to do more. The owners are very responsive to any issues.

    We had a great time as a whole family with four generations all together ranging from 84yrs to 9months… everyones needs were catered for - from a walk in wet room for my elderly mother to a cot and highchair for my littlest munchkin!! Lots of space for the children to run and crawl around and plenty of seating for the adults to all be together either inside or out. And the welcome basket was a wonderful touch to start our holiday. Thank you.

    The location of the cottage was ideal and offered the peace and quiet we wanted yet close to shops and restaurants. It is an ideal location for exploring Northern Snowdonia.

    The heating wouldn't turn on and we couldnt contact the owner using the number given in the welcome pack.

    Thank you for your feedback - the heating is on in the morning and the afternoon on a timer - we would have happily changed it for you if you were in working during the day. You messaged me to advise that an extra guest and dog were coming which I acknowledged which was the same number in the Welcome Pack.

The property

This extraordinary property is set in its own grounds a stone's throw away from the charming village of Betws-y-Coed in Conwy.

Ideal for hosting a group celebration for friends and family alike, Coed Derw Isaf is a lovely setting for an escape to North Wales.

A well-kept garden greets you upon arrival to the property, with an abundance of mature greenery spread considerably around the grounds, offering a peaceful setting to enjoy a fantastic holiday.

Entering into the property you're welcomed by an enticing seating area in the spacious hallway, featuring a quirky animal print armchair perched together with a rustic stained wood bench, bringing the nature of Wales indoors and offering a solace escape from the main area of the house.

Continue through the hallway to the country-style kitchen, fit with an impressive range cooker and contemporary wine cooler, perfect for enjoying a drink perched at the breakfast bar whilst the designated chef prepares a feast for the group.

Follow the room through to the dining area where a large wooden dining table with seating for eight guests sits in the centre of the room, ideal for spending quality time together as a group over a game of cards.

End the day in style with an escape to the patio, watching the evening grow darker as you take in your tranquil surroundings.

Head back inside to the sitting room, beautifully designed with a mix of traditional and contemporary décor, where you have the choice of cosying up on the Chesterfield sofa in front of the TV or gathering around the coffee table on a plush armchair with your loved one, enveloped in the warmth from the log burner.

Completing the ground floor is a wet room featuring handrails in the shower, heated towel rail, ideal for guests with limited mobility.

As the evening draws to a close, head upstairs where you will find the property's sleeping quarters as well as three additional bathrooms.

Natural lighting drawn in through the dual aspect windows floods the master suite, where a grand Gentleman’s wardrobe takes centre stage, offering plenty of storage space to house your personal belongings, complete with sleigh bed and cosy rugs.

Also has a smart TV – the suite offers a private space for guests.

The master suite also benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, where you can make the choice between enjoying a leisurely bath in the tub or steaming the day away in the walk-in shower.

The cottage has a King double bedroom which is serviced by an en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe, thoughtfully laid out with bright and airy décor and complimenting soft furnishings, sourced from a local boutique.

The charm of the property continues through to the double bed twin bedroom, decorated with a neutral colouring and elegant headboards towering above the beds.

The final bedroom has a double bed with headboard and a large window looking on to the garden, these two bedrooms are serviced by a large walk in shower with sink, WC and heater towel rail.

Before retiring to bed, freshen up in the contemporary family bathroom, presenting a spacious walk-in shower cubicle and glossy fittings.

Discover the local history at Conwy Valley Railway Museum, enjoying a ride on the miniature railway around the beautifully landscaped grounds.

Outdoor adventurers can catch the Sherpa bus from Betws-y-Coed and travel to Pen-y-Pass, where three of the most popular routes to the summit of Mount Snowdon, the tallest mountain in Wales, begin.

Spend the day at Zip World Fforest, a treetop adventure course set in Welsh woodland, featuring the UK's only alpine coaster.

Thrill-seekers can travel further afield and visit Zip World Penrhyn Quarry, home to a 500ft-high zip line where you can enjoy mile-long rides with panoramic views over the slate quarry and scenic coastline.

If that's not your thing then travel North to the seaside town of Llandudno, where you can indulge in fish and chips along the promenade, soaking in the delightful views across the water.
