Rhiwlas Cottage was perfect, clean and lovely size and had everything in that made a stay extremely comfortable. The setting is in the most idyllic picture postcard place. The river running along the bottom of the split level patios was so tranquil - all you could hear was the flow and the birds singing. Was easy to book initially and Lynn was the perfect host, a lovely friendly lady - kept us updated and was happy to answer any questions we had at any time. We couldn’t have wished for anything better and would thoroughly recommend staying at Rhiwlas. We’ll definitely stay again without hesitation.

This house was so comfortable! Wish we could have stayed longer. Right on the main road into Beddgelert - so easy access to pubs and shops. But also quiet and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the patio for breakfast and dinner and even just to relax - the river is beautiful and we loved seeing the cows across the way coming down to drink. The kitchen was well-equipped - we cooked breakfast every morning and several dinners during our 5 night stay. Street parking out front was easy (and free). Would definitely stay here again!

One of the most wonderful places I've stayed in. Took my Mum for a mini break. The cottage was perfect for us. Very comfortable and cosy, and had everything we needed to make the stay just right. The location was stunning! The river was so relaxing and we even saw a cormorant that stayed in the same position for a full day. Thank you, I hope to return maybe with my Mum again or my husband.

We really enjoyed our stay, the river is your backyard and we slept with the windows open at night to listen to the nature. Location is fantastic, it was quiet, clean and nicely appointed. Lynn was an excellent host. I would definitely stay here again on our next adventure to north Wales.

We had a great long weekend here and it was perfect. The cottage is lovely, so clean, comfortable and well equipped. The terrace is a real treat. The village is lovely too, lots of choices for eating and drinking, we could have happily stayed much longer and would love to come back one day.
