  • "This was a family holiday of 6 adults so accommodation picked accordingly."

    I must say that this was the best accommodation by a mile we have stayed in over the years of using sykes cottage’s. The house was presented on arrival beautifully making it instantly feel special. The rooms were all lovely sizes and the kitchen was outstanding. It was equipped with everything you would need so much so we cooked a roast for 6 on day 2 with no problems. The outdoor shower for the dog was brilliant but now he feels spoiled so will be a struggle back home

    Thank you! We’re so pleased that you had a great stay and the cottage had everything you needed. We’re big fans of spoiling dogs, and very glad he enjoyed his stay, too! Property Owner

    The cottage had everything we needed, well equipped and comfortable. We chose the property on the proximity to many great tourist attractions, which led to a fantastic week in Wales. Would highly recommend.

    Also it will be safer with anti slip mats. If the suggested facilities were provided we would have given top marks. All four enjoyed the holiday in Coopers Rest

  • "This is a beautiful cottage, much bigger than expected from the photo's."

    The living room is a lovely space for relaxing and the kitchen is super large. It is an ideal cottage for a family or group holiday. The two bathrooms were beautifully decorated as were the bedrooms. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who would like to holiday in North Wales as the location is very central for all activities. There is also a beautiful garden to dine, relax or play in at the end of your day. Excellent all round.

    Thankyou for your comments I am really glad you had a lovely time. Property Owner

  • "Coopers Rest is a lovely cottage, well appointed and caters for 6 comfortably."

    Excellent location for touring northern wales and local walks, the castle to roman bridge loop and a nice valley loop from the front door are excellent (but be quick as the de-foresting boys are laying new roads). The village shop is quite limited but has essentials. Unfortunately for us, the pub was being refurbed and the hotel was changing hands so there was nowhere to drop in to eat or drink. Will visit again, there was an 'attentive' neighbour who I am sure was trying to help regarding the waste collection system, but a little too much so.

    It is well situated to do outdoor activities, such as hill walking and climbing. The only downside was the weather. Although, probablby nit-picking, the sofas in the lounge were very uncomfortable. We were surprised that there was no BBQ.

  • "We had a lovely week at Coopers Rest (Gorffwysfa Coopers)."

    There were six of us, plus our son’s girlfriend’s dachshund - ‘Cooper’! We arrived to find a welcoming and reassuringly clean house, with a large family kitchen, the table all laid out and ready to go. The rest of the house was equally clean and well presented. It has all you might need during your stay. Microwave, Washing machine, dishwasher, etc, with plenty of crockery, cups, glasses and utensils etc. We even bought our own slow cooker to do a couple of meals, only to find there was one already there. There are also the essential TV and WiFi, but also there’s a selection of board games and cards if you would prefer to leave all that behind - we had several tense Uno sessions! The location is very quiet with wonderful views, which can be especially admired from the garden. It is well positioned for access to Snowdon (about 45 minutes to Llanberis, from where we walked to the summit ), Blaenau Ffestiniog and Betws-y-Coed ( both about 15 minutes away). On the doorstep there are walks, a small store, a pub and a railway station a five minute walk away (we travelled the one hour trip to Conwy and Llandudno, about £8 each return - well recommended). Also in easy reach are the three Zip World sites. We did Velocity 2 at the Bethesda site. A bit pricey, but very enjoyable (get a discounted price if you can make a group of four). Don’t miss Dolwyddelan Castle, it’s just a 20 minute walk from the house. You can go inside and there are lovely views from the top. Slightly further afield you can go and explore Anglesey or visit Porthmadog or Aberystwyth. All in all we had a fantastic week and achieved all we had hoped to, and this lovely house was the perfect base. I’m sure we will return at some point.

    Thankyou for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed it. Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely property, ideal for sharing time with family/ friends at Christamastime with its lovely big, well equipped family kitchen, filled with daylight (even on a rainy day)."

    The lovely large twinkling Christmas tree added to the light and festive ambience. There's been plenty of room for meal preparation, plenty of fridge space and good seating around the large family table. The living room is spacious, and the wood stove added to the cosyness. The beds are comfortable with enough wardrobe space, and plenty of additional towels, teatowels in case required. Heating has been just right and easy to control. The upstairs bathroom is spacious and the shower works well, however, there was a problem with the downstairs en suite (a blockage in the washbasin drain, and the control knob for the downstairs shower being difficult to turn on and off). The GleamTeam were very helpful in calling a plumber, who solved the drain blockage on Christmas Eve, but he'll need to give further attention to the shower control when the property is vacant. Apart from that little difficulty (for which we had good support), the property was everything we could have hoped for and would be happy to book again for another family occassion. :)

  • "Great place to stay, We only had two problems with the property ( not counting the boiler not working on arrival due to a frozen drip pipe which was soon rectified by the owner) 1) The key safe is too low down."

    I'm old'ish and have poor sight so I had to kneel down in the wet to see the keypad. 2) The patio has poor drainage So when we arrived the water that had pooled on the patio had frozen solid making the whole of the patio an ice rink and was very slippy. This was due to weather conditions but a front door key or rubber mats or something in freezing conditions should be considered. But over all a lovely property

    I would highly recommend for couples or families with children of toddler age upwards :) The cottage is such a short drive from many attractions and is very well kitted out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our 16 month old twins and would definitely come back once the girls are slightly older due to the house not being as baby friendly as we originally thought (rugs not hoovered so covered in dog hairs which covered the girls and their toys, fire place and wood exposed and a large step down from the living area to the kitchen, no stair gate for the stairs) so we certainly had to have eyes in the back of our head with two who have just started walking :)

The property

Enjoying an enviable position within the rural village of Dolwyddelan, surrounded by the rolling mountains and countryside of the Snowdonia National Park is Cooper's Rest (Gorffwysfa Coopers), a spacious semi-detached property.

This exceptional self-catering accommodation has been designed with a group in mind, perfect for families, friends and avid ramblers seeking a place to call home as they explore this part of North Wales.

Enter the property and discover the entrance hallway, where you can kick off muddy walking boots before taking a right turn into the sitting room, where a woodburning stove set within an exposed brick surround takes centre stage.

Light up the fire to set a cosy ambiance before flicking on the Smart TV to browse the channels, as you curl up on the plush sofas.

From here, a step down will bring you into the light-filled kitchen, where along the whitewashed walls, inky blue painted cabinets are topped by solid wood worksurfaces and contemporary splash backs, all of which are complemented by the large windows providing views across the rooftops and towards the rolling hills.

The range of quality appliances arranged in a contemporary assortment are certain to encourage a spot of home-cooking, and the high vaulted ceilings make a striking element to this room and offer a spacious spot for you all together to enjoy each other’s company over dinner and drinks.

The master suite can be found on the ground floor, where quality linens drape over a plush king-size bed, where each morning you can wake up and enjoy the views from the patio doors before freshening up within the sleek en-suite shower room.

Venture up the stairs to find two further double bedrooms, both boasting a refreshing ambiance and good wardrobe storage, and are served by a beautiful family bathroom, featuring a light controlled mirror and a shower over bath.

During the balmy afternoons, look forward to opening up the French doors within the kitchen/diner, allowing a seamless integration of the outside in and provides access to the large lawn area, where the children can play and your canine companion can stretch their legs, whilst the rolling countryside view continues to captivate.

Meander through the rural village to discover its array of amenities, including a shop and two pubs serving food, as well as an impressive church dating to around 1500 or venture slightly out of the village to visit the 13th Century Dolwyddelan Castle, which boasts magnificent views from its battlements.

Those bringing two-wheels along can explore the network of paths within the nearby Gwydyr Forest or keen walkers can don their walking boots to explore the surrounding countryside or endeavour on a trek up Wales’ highest mountain.

More outdoor pursuits can be found at Zip World near Bethesda, where you will find Velocity, the longest zip run in Europe or pay a visit to Blaenau Ffestiniog, where you will discover Titan, the first four-person zip line.

More leisurely afternoon can be found in the form of fishing on the Afon Lledr, noted for its trout and salmon fishing opportunities or enjoying a round of golf at the 9-hole course at Betws-y-Coed.

Betws-y-Coed itself is well-worth a visit and is home to a plethora of independent shops and eateries, and is where you will find the pretty Fairy Glen, whilst the historic town of Conwy lies slightly further afield and provides access to the sublime North Wales coast.

Bring your loved ones to share a memorable holiday in Cooper's Rest.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
