It is superbly located with a gentle walk into town and opposite the forest for fabulous walks to Betws-y- Coed and beyond. Canât recommend highly enough.
Charles
The cottage was very quiet and this allowed us to sleep extremely well. Altogether, it was a really nice experience in spite of the anticipated rain and we would certainly recommended it to others.
Judith
Llanrwst is a lovely village and is a great base to explore the area. The property is very well equipped, very comfortable and furnished with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The host was always contactable and very quick to respond to queries. I would highly recommend the property and would be happy to stay here again.
