  • "The Cottage was in a lovely location and contained everything you could possibly need."

    It was exceptionally clean and we arrived to a lovely welcome hamper which was very well appreciated. It was a surprising large cottage but previously it had been two cottages. The owner left us a very informative manual about the history of the cottage and places to visit in the area. We had no problem with parking using the carpark further down the road on the left in front of the playground. Using the parking space near the cottage at Weekends to unload and load the car. WiFi wasn’t the best but to be expected in the local area . Would definitely recommend this well kept cottage to anyone wishing to stay in this area.

    Thank you for you kind comments they are appreciated Property Owner

  • "This cottage is absolutely lovely, stylish yet homely and cozy in the evenings with the log burner on."

    Clean and well equipped everything you could need is provided. Including a lovely welcome basket. The garden is small but lovely and a little sun trap, spent a couple of late afternoons in there after a day out. A lovely place to stay would highly recommend it.

  • "A beautiful, well- equipped cottage."

    It was clean, cozy and had everything we needed and more. Communication was excellent throughout; the cottage is just lovely and we were able to do many walks straight from the door. A great week away and if we were to return to North Wales, we would certainly look to stay here again. Thank you.

The original stone-built fireplace complements the range of quality appliances and sleek kitchen units. Delight in home-cooked meals at the dining table, which makes for a wonderful social space before heading into the sitting room to relax. During the winter months, you can look forward to lighting the woodburning stove for extra warmth as you a browse the channels on the Smart TV with Netflix.

Upstairs, you will find two elegantly-dressed double bedrooms, both featuring plush linens and charming furnishings that create welcoming spaces to return to each evening.

About the location

TANYGRISIAU

Blaenau Ffestiniog 1.1 miles; Porthmadog 8 miles; Betws-y-Coed 15 miles; Beddgelert 16 miles.

Tanygrisiau, meaning "below the steps", refers to the stepped cliffs above this traditional Welsh village. The Moelwyn mountains protect the village from much of the northerly gales in the winter, and give it a pleasant southerly aspect with relatively mild weather considering its location high in Snowdon. The village stands amongst dramatic scenery, and Tanygrisiau is a good starting point for many walks, especially if your intention is to climb Moelwyn itself. Tanygrisiau was famous for its slate mining, producing a high quality black slate that was used across the world. Tanygrisiau railway station is on the famous Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow gauge railway built to carry slate from the mines down to the sea at Porthmadog; today it is a renowned tourist attraction providing stunning views on its trip to the coast. Only 1.1 miles away is Blaenau Ffestiniog, once the capital of slate quarrying and in the 18th century known as the "City of Slate". The town stands in an elevated, natural bowl amidst this mountainous region and has a good variety of shops and pubs, but is best known for its tourist attractions. One of the old quarries is now the renowned Llechwedd Slate Cavern. The famous narrow gauge Ffestiniog Railway provides wonderful trips through spectacular countryside. Enjoy superb walks and bike trails at Coed-y-Brenin, one of the best mountain bike centres in Britain, as well as good climbing at the Plas y Brenin National Mountain Centre, wonderful sandy beaches, or great fishing or golf. Visit delightful Betws-y-Coed, the Italianate Village at Portmeirion, or Bala, with its renowned white water rafting opportunities.
