About this property
A lovely 18th century terraced barn conversion full of character with spectacular Snowdonia views. Offering light and airy open plan living accommodation, Arfon is the ideal base for a relaxing holiday. This property adjoins Ref. 1520 Meifod and Ref. 1521 Bwthyn and together they can accommodate up to 8 people.
Hailed as the Gateway to Snowdonia, Betws-Y-Coed is now the principal village of the Snowdonia National Park. Much of Betws-Y-Coed was built in Victorian times on the site where the River Conwy joins its three tributaries. Its natural beauty has inspired artists since those times and many continue to visit to try and capture something of the stunning scenery. Thick woodlands and imposing mountains dominate the skyline, offering an unspoilt habitat to a variety of animals, birds and some rare species of plants. With Mount Snowdon looming as a backdrop, Betws-Y-Coed attracts walkers, climbers and mountain-bikers throughout the year. As a result, the town is well served by inns and pups where you can sample local delights such as traditional Welsh rarebit and Glamorgan sausages. Also of interest are the many bridges in the area. Pont-y-Pair, built in 1468, is buffeted by foaming water after heavy rain, hence the meaning of its name: the Bridge of the Cauldron. A number of sign-posted walks in the surrounding countryside start near this bridge. A mile or so away is the Miner's Bridge, on the road to Capel Curig, where early miners crossed the river on a steep ladder to get to work.

Cottage was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. Set in beautiful countryside, very close to Betws y Coed and Snowdon. We'd happily return for another holiday to this lovely property.
