  • "We had such a wonderful few days at Bryn Elsi."

    The location is superb and the house is perfect for families with young children whilst also being comfortable for the grown ups. Kitchen is fantastically well equipped and large utility room for wellies etc, bedding was of high quality also. Welsh cakes were lovely on arrival, our two year old was particularly fond of them. Perhaps some tea/coffee would be a nice addition.

  • "There were 6 of us all males to do some mountain biking all of us agreed it was the best place we have stopped in by far."

    Clean house with nice homely touches. Showers were powerful (which is something we usually grumble about at other places we have stopped at) place was large and very well equipped.

  • "Great place to stay."

    Property is very spacious, bathrooms were spotless as well as kitchen, property has all the amenities needed, great location too. The only little thing was one of the beds bedding wasn't clean and one broken bed slat prevented us from giving 5* ... Owner responded promptly to message upon our arrival and all got sorted. We would come back again.

  • "Spacious and very well equipped."

    Everything was working ok and welcome pack (milk, Welsh cakes) was a nice touch. A bit more detail on bin collection would be helpful but otherwise all instructions were clear.

  • "Great place in a very good location."

    Just of the main road but is in a very quiet location just 5 minuets walk to the town. Snowden is a nice easy 30 minuet drive.The house is very warm , Comfortable and has everything you need. The kitchen & utility room are a good size & well equipped. The living room has comfy sofas & a lovely log burner.Bedrooms were all comfortable . There were 5 of us staying and we had plenty of room. The only down side is it only has two bathrooms and one is on suite so a bit of queueing in the morning. I would defiantly stay again if I was in the area.The pictures don't do it justice. All of us agreed it was a great place.

  • "The property was one of the best we have been in."

    Very comfortable and warm. Could not fault it at all. The only point to make there was no starter pack for the fire as stated. Would stay again.

  • "What a fabulous place!"

    Tucked away in a quiet location but only two minutes walk onto the Main Street - absolutely perfect! We loved the space and light airy feel of the property, which housed us all without feeling on top of each other. The grandchildren especially loved it, so much that one didn’t want to leave his ‘holiday home’. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

  • "Fantastic property."

    North Wales is a wonderful holiday destination. Plenty of room for everyone, very comfortable, close to the amenities, but far away when Betws was busy. We had the best holiday and hope to go back at the same time next year.

  • "We thought it was a lovely cottage and it worked extremely well for our purposes."

    If I was asked how it could be improved, I would say it could do with a bigger fridge and a toilet downstairs, but we were fine and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was great for my 90 year old mum because she could be on one floor and she could just about manage the walk to the river and back. Fabulous supply of crockery and a lovely comfy layout. No complaints at all.

  • "Ideal location for access to all Betws-y-coed has to offer, and off the main road so really peaceful."

    Property is really well furnished in every room, although a little dated but lends itself well to the properties feel/ outdoorsy use. I did notice a few minor cleaning improvements- dusty in places, cobwebs and odd bits of the floor- but it a property that sleeps 8 and such spacious rooms these minor aspects are understandable. Thanks for the great stay!

  • "Absolutely lovely accommodation, well equipped and most importantly the beds were very comfortable."

    The only very very slight negative is there were a few cobwebs and those very fine spiders high up near the ceilings. I hate spiders so it could just do with de-cobwebbing more often, but it wasn’t bad enough to put me off the house. Would definitely return and would also recommend to friends. I should imagine it would be lovely to sit out in the garden if there in the summer.

  • "A nice holiday cottage in Betws-y-Coed, very close to the amenities of the village and easy access to some lovely walks."

    The cottage itself has everything we needed, spacious liounge and plenty of room for the 7 of us. I would recommend the cottage and the area.

  • "The cottage is in a great location, you feel as if you are in the forest whilst being minutes from the village centre."

    It is Tardis like, being so much bigger inside than it looks and is quite luxurious. Whilst some of the utensils (ovenware) could do with updating, the crockery and cutlery are plentiful and looked new. It was very clean on arrival and the large vestibule enabled us to take our boots off inside in the warm and dry when back from a walk. The conservatory provided a peaceful and light place to read and enjoy coffee and cakes from the excellent bakery. We came by train and used the frequent Sherpa buses; it was so easy to get round and be green.

  • "This is definitely the nicest holiday accomodation we have stayed in."

    It is brilliantly located with a 2 minute downhill walk to the village centre. All the facilities are top quality and very few similar properties have a conservatory (small) and a good sized garden which is on a split level with tables and chairs - ideal for the summer. Angela, the caretaker who lives very close, was an absolute star and she very promptly had a minor radiator problem corrected and was very helpful with the recycling. Perhaps it's being churlish but a tv in the main bedroom would be nice. Eating places in the village are at a premium and booking well in advance is recommended. The Old Ship at Trefriw is also worth a visit and for shopping, the Co-op at Llanrwst is the best in the immediate area. A really enjoyable stay and we were sorry to leave.

About the location

BETWS-Y-COED

Llanrwst 4 miles; Blaenau Ffestiniog 11 miles.

Betws-y-Coed, known as the Gateway to Eryri (Snowdonia), is North Wales' most popular inland resort. Surrounded by dense woodland and magnificent mountain country, this is a haven for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. At Betws-y-Coed the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, and the beauty of the area is enhanced by cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges. Most famous of all are the magnificent Swallow Falls, situated where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a spectacular chasm. The village has shops, pubs, places to eat, miniature railway, a riverside golf course and the Tree Top Adventure High Ropes Course, and is home to The Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park Visitor Centre, as well as being the start of the beautiful Conwy Valley which leads to the coast and the lovely towns of Llandudno and Conwy.
