Manod is situated between the impressive Manod and Moelwyn mountains near the centre of Snowdonia National Park. Only 1.5 miles away is Blaenau Ffestiniog, once the capital of slate quarrying and in the 18th Century known as the "City of Slate".

A perfect little cottage in a good location to visit all of the surrounding area.
Mr & Mrs Wigg, Leighton Buzzard, October 2011
The cottage was very lovely and comfortable and in a great location to enjoy the National Park and not far from the beaches and other attractions. We loved staying there and would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Miss MacKenny, Hungerford, October 2011
This was our first time with Sykes Cottages and we enjoyed it very much.
The cottage in general was very comfortable and located in a very good position. Not too far from the beaches and a good starting point for hiking in the beautiful mountains of Snowdownia. Communication with Sykes, owners and housekeepers was perfect and very friendly.
Mr Nüeckel, Bodenfelde, July 2011
My daughter and I really liked the cottage which is of a good standard, clean and comfortable. We hope to return for a further week next year, as we found North Wales very beautiful and the people very friendly. My daughter would also like to climb Snowdon!
