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.
Perfect place for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful landscape. Lovely set up and the hosts were very accommodating. Looking forward to staying again in the future.

Thank you for the lovely review Sarah - glad you enjoyed New Years Eve in Snowdonia
Beautiful location and great space with good social areas. We were a party of 5 adults away for a weekend and the property catered for us perfectly. From there we visited Velocity 2 and Portmeiron easily.

Thanks fir the lovely review - sounds like you had a fabulous time.
My mother, grandmother, aunt, and myself enjoyed three nights at this wonder place. The cabin was cozy and the landscape was beautiful. Erika was very accommodating and nice leading up to our stay. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to spend a relaxing time in Wales.

Thank you for the lovely feedback Nopal. So glad you all had a fabulous time in the Welsh winter wonderland.
The cottage is absolutely gorgeous and much bigger than the photos online show. The views from the front and rear of the property are incredible. We found loads to do in the nearby area, castles, beaches, walks and zip world. Would definitely recommend a stay here, we loved it.

Wow what a lovely review thank you Jenny. So glad that you enjoyed the cottage and the area. Do come and stay again!
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!

The cottage is located in the lovely Machno Valley a few short miles from Betws. Beautiful hill walks, fresh farm eggs, a friendly pub, welcoming and helpful hosts and Snowdonia to explore. We loved it..

Fabulous review Ray - so glad you loved your stay at Bwthyn Angell. You are welcome back to Snowdonia any time.
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.

Brilliant...as usual!
3rd time staying at this little gem now and definitely won't be the last. Absolutely love it here. Peaceful, relaxing and stunning scenery. Even had a couple of days of lovely sunshine this time round! Can't wait to return.
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the cottage. It was so comfortable and cozy with everything we needed and was a perfect base for us to explore the surrounding areas. We loved it! Thank you.

Cosy, well furnished cottage with lovely views in a perfect location.
We found the cottage as described, we especially liked the large kitchen/dining room and enjoyed playing board games there in the evening. All the bedrooms were comfortable and the two good bathrooms helped with five people to organise in the mornings! We loved watching the sheep and lambs from the cottage and found all the locations we wanted to visit easy to get to from the village.

About the host
Hosted by Erika
We have just purchased this holiday cottage which has been run as a successful holiday let by the previous owner for the last 6 years. For all those returning guests, the property is being cleaned by the same amazing cleaner and will continue to be managed in the same ethos as before.
Why they chose this property
All the amazing waterfalls that I drove past when I went to view the property just swung it for me! Also the close proximity to Betws y Coed. I am from Wales originally and to own a property in my home country (nevermind Snowdonia!) is just amazing. We want to share this with you when we welcome you to our cottage
