About this property
A cosy stone-built cottage tucked away in a peaceful courtyard position, yet only 5 minutes' walk from the centre of Betws-y-Coed with its shops, pubs and restaurants. Tastefully restored by the owners to offer accommodation of a high standard, Royal Oak Farm Cottage provides a wonderful holiday retreat. The owners live in the nearby farmhouse and personally welcome visitors. A superb base for exploring Snowdonia at any time of year!
Betws-Y-Coed is known as the âGateway to Snowdonia'. Situated in a tranquil and picturesque valley in the Snowdonia National Park, Betws-Y-Coed has served as inspiration for artists since Victorian times, when much of the village was built. However, there is evidence of early Neolithic settlements and it is possible to explore the Neolithic Burial Chamber at Capel Garmon. In fact, the immediate vicinity has been home to the Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Celts and evidence of their tribes, villages and fortresses are to be found throughout the region. The village itself is well served by outdoor activity shops and you can sample traditional Welsh fare such as Welsh rarebit, Glamorgan sausages and bara brith in the inns and pubs that feed walkers and visitors throughout the calendar.

We had a lovely welcome from the hosts at this beautiful cottage - especially the scones with jam & cream on arrival. The cottage was secluded which equalled peace & quiet. It was gorgeous inside & out, with everything you could possibly need to make any stay amazing, with a comfy bed too. It was a perfect base after day trips and local walks. We hope to stay again, and will be recommending the cottage to friends and family.
