  • "Misleading saying it has electric central heating and log burner, the cottage was very cold (March) and we found that the logs were the source of heating for the cottage which we had to buy lots of!"

    There was two small fan heaters that we had to use which without them it would have been unbearable to be honest. No cupboard to put our weeks groceries in, so the worktop was the only place to put them, and there’s no parking, don’t park on the church car park as you will get a notice asking for money! We stay at many cottages each year and this is the first time we have felt let down by what we consider important issues.

    Good afternoon, thanks so much for staying with us at Merrion Cottage. I'm sorry that your feedback wasn't more positive, like all of our other reviews, especially as the photos and description of our cottage do cover the points raised. We provided logs for you well in excess of the usual amount we provide for guests generally, both at the beginning of your stay and even part way through due to the forecast cold snap, thought this wasn't mentioned in your feedback, over £30 worth of logs in actual fact. The electric heaters provided are very efficient and are there as a back up to our popular wood burner fired central heating system. We take on board your comment regarding cupboard space however, and would like to provide more, but space is limited in a 200 year old cottage and we have to prioritise living space for guests. Car parking is not provided for guests at the cottage, as per the property description, but there are lots of options in and around the village on a first come first served basis. Thanks again for staying and for the feedback as we do endeavor to always strive to improve our services and facilities to provide guests with the best possible experience. Mark Property Owner

  • "Honestly, this cottage is stunning and has everything you need for either a short trip or a couple of weeks."

    We loved the log burner, it really does add a special touch to the cold evenings. The dishwasher was super handy, alongside the great location. Parking is easily found in the church car park, along with the pub and local corner shop within less than a minute from the property. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a well-presented and clean home to stay in.

    Lovey respectful guests. It was our pleasure to host Chris and we really appreciate the kind review, it really does make all the hard work worthwhile. Kind regards Mark andAlwena Property Owner

  • "We had an absolutely amazing stay at Merrion Cottage."

    The cottage itself was very clean and cosy, with a compact and bijou kitchen equipped with everything you need. Great internet connection and detailed instructions on how everything works. The cottage is literally 15 seconds from the local shop AND the pub, which incidentally does lovely home made food on Fridays and Saturdays. The village of Penmachno is beautifully situated and the drive up from the south is a breathtaking journey through the mountains. We had a great week here and would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage. We’ll definitely be back.

    Thank you so much for staying with us at Merrion Cottage and for your kind review, we really appreciate it. Kind regards Mark & Alwena Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely property and we really enjoyed our stay there."

    Parking was just round the corner either in the church carpark or just slightly further down. The shop and pub were close by. We took our dog and as the property has a spiral staircase he wouldn't go up it. (He is too big to carry). This is the only way to the garden other than going through the pub garden which backs onto the property. That was the only issue for us, apart from that a lovely character cottage.

The property

Located at the heart of the quaint, semi-rural village of Penmachno, Conwy, lies the charming, one-bedroom holiday home of Merrion Cottage.

Boasting a tastefully-presented, rustic interior complete with exposed stonework and a spiral staircase, as well as superb positioning to nearby amenities, this lovely, white-washed cottage welcomes a couple for a romantic escape within the magnificent setting of the Eryri National Park.

Step into your delightful new home-from-home, and be charmed by the well-presented, open-plan living space, which comprises a well-equipped kitchen where you and your loved one can rustle up romantic dinners for two; a dining area complete with dining table for two where you can savour your meals; and a sitting area featuring a Smart TV and a woodburning stove where you can retreat to in the evenings when you're ready to relax.

In the evenings, be sure to refresh with a rejuvenating shower or a long, hot bath on your way to settle down for a well-deserved rest in the inviting double bedroom.

After you've sipped your morning tea or coffee out in the rear garden, slip your shoes on and head out to explore what your surroundings have to offer.

In the village of Penmachno, you will find the Londis & Outreach PO where you can stock up on essentials, whilst The Eagles Bunkhouse serves up traditional pub fare for those looking to fuel up before embarking on a day full of fun and activity.

Your trip to the region would be incomplete without spending time visiting the many sights and wonders of the Eryri National Park, including the beautiful rushing waters of Cwmorthin Waterfall, the historic landmark of Gelert's Grave, or the awe-inspiring spot of the Llanfair Slate Caverns.

For an unforgettable escape to North Wales, look no further than Merrion Cottage.

About the location

PENMACHNO

Betws-y-Coed 4 miles.

The small, peaceful village of Penmachno is situated in the beautiful Machno Valley, just 4 miles from the popular town of Betws-y-Coed. Surrounded by woodland, magnificent mountains and flowing rivers, the whole area is a haven for walkers, birdwatchers, mountain bikers and climbers, whilst Betws-y-Coed itself offers a good range of shops, pubs and cafes. Here the River Conwy meets its three tributaries, creating a host of cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges throughout the surrounding countryside, the most famous of which is the magnificent waterfall at Swallow Falls, situated where the River Llugwy meets with a spectacular chasm, creating a sight not to be missed! The beautiful Conwy Falls are also well worth a visit and are situated in the Machno Valley. With all of Snowdonia to explore and North Wales' Heritage Coastlines also within easy reach, this beautiful location has plenty to offer at any time of year.
