It is also spacious and equipped with helpful information and games etc The owner was very helpful and informative. The cottage is situated in a very central position for all that Betwsy -y -Coed has to offer. there is a wide choice of eating places and shops (no chemist or bank) and many super walks. Very central for visiting all that Snowdonia has to offer.

I have stayed in Betws-y-coed before, but this was the most relaxed way to do it !

However a couple of issues we found was that hand towels hadnât been supplied in the twin bedded room and we found lots of long dark hairs on the back of a pillow and on the floors, the wardrobe floor in the main bedroom was quite dirty with dust. The outside areas at the side and back are getting very overgrown as is the path to the main road. The table and chairs are too dirty to actually sit on. I do hope these things can be addressed because we did generally have a lovely stay.
