This is a gem of a property. Beautifully presented with all that you need. The kitchen was very well supplied with all that you need to cook at home. The bedrooms were very comfortable, the bathrooms clean with a fabulous shower. The location is wonderfully remote so you need to be organised with food. They had a wonderful array of games and puzzles as well as lots of walking routes advice. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here to access Snowden and the surrounding area.

Stunning cottage in the most beautiful area. Great communication with the host before check in, process was easy. When we arrived cottage was warm, clean and full of little touches for the festive period. Very dog friendly, lots of lovely walks. All furnishings we're clean and comfortable with bedlinen and towels provided, really handy having 2 bathrooms, both with showers too. Would highly recommend this as a great base for exploring North Wales, we took a beautiful 35 min drive to Porthmadog, the scenery was breathtaking.

We had a lovely time here. The location is pretty spectacular, surrounded by peaks and the old slate quarry. Remote enough to feel very peaceful, but close enough to the village / town to not feel too cut off. Very well equipped and wonderful large kitchen area. Thank you!

Well appointed cottage with everything needed for a comfortable stay in a fantastic setting at the end of the Penmachno valley. Stunning views from the cottage and easy access to Betws-y-Coed and thence into the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia. Will definitely return, hopefully in the near future.
