Lovely cottage

Very clean and tidy cottage, attractive garden - great to sit in & eat tea&cake after walking whilst admiring the mountain opposite. Ideal location for walking. Didn't drive all week - either walked from cottage or used buses. Good meal at local pub (Tanronnen Inn). Property manager very helpful. Local Tourist Information Centre very helpful to someone who hadn't used buses for decades.

Wales, Beddgelert nothing more to say

Beddgelert is a lovely village within Snowdonia National Park, extremely picturesque with the river glaslyn running through it, the 1 bedroomed cottage 'Arosfa' was ideal for 2, clean, garden with a view and many walks locally that we didn't use our car, local guide booksclearly show these but caernafon, portmadog and other tourist destinations are all within easy reach. If a walking holiday is your thing then this is a truly wonderful place to stay. Lyn the owner lives in the village so any issues (we didn't have any) is on hand if needed. A little gem of a find, will be back. easyreatheseporthmadogmcaearfon

Quaint Cottage

Very quaint cottage with a pretty rear garden and right opposite a shallow river. Beautiful village in an ideal position for hiking, touring etc. Perfect size for 1/2 people, fully stocked with all u need and more! Some lovely touches - fresh flowers, cake and tea/coffee/milk sachets. We were very happy staying here and would highly recommend it.

Perfect!

Cannot praise this idyllic little cottage enough, it was perfect. Beautiful surroundings, opposite the river. A beautiful blackbird singing every morning and evening was wonderful. Stayed 2nd - 7th May / weather, happily good too and not overcrowded or too busy….perfect!! Lyn (owner) had thought of everything, even all bedding, towels, cleaning products. Even dvds in a cupboard, if fancy a night in watching and relaxing. Had regular contact with Lyn prior to visit, and met her on arrival, lovely lady, and helpful. Cottage was very clean and cosy. Parking outside or along road was fine, Lyn even had space near her own home if we couldn’t get any. Beddgelert was quiet and peaceful with many walks and easy access to reaching snowdon etc. Plenty of places to eat (they do close early perhaps for some but for us that was ok as we don’t eat late anyway) and a lovely local shop that was very well stocked, even with fresh produce. Found all staff friendly and helpful. Overall a wonderful stay, absolutely perfect in every way, for a birthday and our anniversary and can honestly say we’ll be back. Would definitely stay at Lyn’s cottage again. Thank you Lyn for making our special break so lovely. Jill & John

Ideal location

Everything we needed in the property which was in an ideal location for exploring the local area on foot and for driving around. Nice little private garden to sit and relax. The only issue was that we had no mobile phone signal for either of our networks. We were able to send WhatsApp messages.

cosy cottage for two

For a small cottage everything was very well designed and equipped. It was a lovely cosy place to stay and very convenient for the village facilities and walks from the door. The wood-burning stove was particularly appreciated in February.

Cute, clean, comfy cottage

Great cottage with a wonderful location on beddgelert. A short walk to some great restaurants and pubs (though they do get busy!) We had some rather heavy rain and wind during the week, (it is Wales in October) but Lyn reached out to make sure we were ok and all stock for firewood, which was a really kind touch. The cottage has everything you could need to be a great base for an adventure/walking/quiet get away holiday in Snowdonia.

Excellent Location

Lovely comfortable property in great location, lounge has sofa and not chairs as in the current picture. Host Lyn was very helpful and we had an enjoyable stay. 3 pubs in Beddgelert but all finished serving very early in the evening due to staff shortages so not easy to eat out, may be worth checking if this is important to you, Highly recommended

Nice little cottage in the heart of Snowdonia

My wife and I stayed at Arosfa cottage for 5 nights and made the most of its convenient location. In the heart of Snowdonia, Beddgelert is always 30 mins away from all the beautiful sights. The cottage was tidy, included all the necessary amenities, the garden was really well kept, and the bedding, towels and other kitchen cloths were very clean. Everything was Covid secure. The only minor detail was the shower: water pressure is abysmal, it took us ages to take a shower as so little comes out of the heater. Lyn was always very polite and kept us informed of everything throughout, we would definitely recommend staying here.
