Mr Westell
September 2020

“Ideal location, comfortable cottage.”

- Mr Westell, September 2020
Mrs Thomson September 2020

“The cottage was excellent, very cosy and welcoming.”

The whole process of booking the holiday was very easy and the cottage was just as described. I would not hesitate at recommending Sykes in the future and would definitely use them again.

- Mrs Thomson, September 2020
Mrs Ginn August 2020

“Wow! What a wonderful cottage in a fabulous setting.”

Everything was immaculately clean and very well equipped - Mrs Williams was extremely helpful and provided lots of useful info about shops, pubs etc. The village is a perfect setting to explore Snowdonia and the surrounding areas - everything seemed to be much nearer than expected - which meant we weren't spending lots of time travelling... We cant wait to come back and explore further - once lockdown is lifted.. Many thanks...

Mrs Treves February 2020

“This cottage was lovely, and exactly what we wanted.”

My son who loves trains loved the train museum and shop. We all liked being so close to the shops and cafes while still being so quiet. Unfortunately due to rain we were unable to walk as much as we would have liked but found plenty to do locally with two high school children. The parking was close enough not to be a problem. We had a supermarket food delivery just after we arrived and were able to top up at the local shops as needed. We all really enjoyed our stay.

Mrs Quarmby December 2019

“Comfortable cottage, very convenient for visiting family in nearby Llanrwst - especially since the introduction of a train service on Sundays.”

Jenny C June 2019

“Lovely cottage, great location”

This is a lovely cottage, the best bit is the terrace at the back of the house that looks out onto the model railway and into the hills, you can sit and have your morning tea there. The rooms are a good size and everywhere was spotless, small dining area where we played cards, a room off the kitchen was really useful for dirty boots or wet clothes without bringing them into the house. The cottage is in a GREAT location. A minute into town but quiet and with a lovely view. Lots of places to eat, great for ZipWorld and hikes. Perfect.

- Jenny C, June 2019
Mr Limrick April 2019

“This cottage is ideally situated not just for the pretty village of Betws-y-Coed but for the Snowdonia National Park ~ you can get to the high lights of the Park like the Snowdon Railway or Zip World before the crowds and take advantage of the various early bird offers.”

There's plenty of private allocated parking, which is important in Betws, and it is literally a moment's walk away from the bustling shops and cafes around the Station. It is worth noting the trains are not running on the Conwy line at the moment due to storm damage in March '19 ~ due to reopen in the Summer. It's warm and well equipped and one we will revisit.

- Mr Limrick, April 2019
Mr Williams March 2019

“Have stayed several times before, same high standards, will no doubt book again in the future.”

- Mr Williams, March 2019

Cottage spotless and easy private parking for 2 cars My husband is disabled and to walk out of the front door and be in the centre of Betwsy Coed was marvellous! The only let down was the weather !!

Mrs Macfarlane July 2018

“The Railway Cottage is very specious and located at a very good spot in Betws-y-Coed (a good place to be!”

). The train passes really close to the cottage but as the train only runs 6 times a day (forward/backward) it only ads to the atmosphere we expected with a railway cottage.

- Mrs Macfarlane, July 2018
Childs April 2018

“It was a lovely cottage , would definitely recommend and hopefully visit again .”

Thought it Just needed tidying up a bit outside on the patio probably a few pots with flowers to make it more nice to sit out . Also a BBQ in the summer .

- Childs, April 2018

Mr Spence June 2016

Mr Huxley June 2015

“It was a fantastic week and the Cottage and location were just amazing.”

We met with the owners and everything was first class. We spent all week just watching wildlife and letting the world go by. The best holiday we have had in years, for all the right reasons; it was so homely and it was if it belonged to us! We thank the owners for making our special week very special! We felt and wanted our week to continue, the Cottage and location will get our top marks and we will recommend this property to others.

- Mr Huxley, June 2015
Mrs Brown May 2015

“For a train fanatic family the location of the cottage was perfect.”

Our 3 year old was in ecstasy, Mainline train drivers waved and tooted at him every day. In a lovely setting with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Watching the rabbits every morning was an unexpected bonus.

- Mrs Brown, May 2015

A FlipKey verified reviewer August 2014

“Better than Expected”

I rely on trip advisor reviews when traveling do happy to review. I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked this cottage for our family of five. It was better than I'd hoped- clean, great location, well- equipped kitchen. Cottage is walking distance from several hiking trails and also in the center of town. There is information on nearby attractions available and also has wifi. The only negative is the bedding had a bottom sheet and a blanket, no top sheet, but it worked fine. It is a bit tucked away, but directions given were good; just follow carefully. We plan to return to Wales and would stay there again!

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, August 2014
Mr Hicks June 2014

“Liked the closeness to the village but the quiet location.”

An excellent base for sightseeing the beautiful area of Snowdonia.

- Mr Hicks, June 2014
Mrs Brooks April 2014

“The location if the cottage was great!”

It had everything we needed and was very well presented. We would love to return to Wales and perhaps stay there again. Lovely walks right from the door without having to get in the car and drive. Exceeded my expectations!!!

- Mrs Brooks, April 2014
Mr Halstead November 2013

“A warm and comfortable base for a weeks walking in Snowdonia with the amenities of Betws-y-Coed on the doorstep.”

The cottage has everything you need.

- Mr Halstead, November 2013
Mrs Smythe October 2013

“Cottage very well positioned in centre of village, and had parking space.”

Porch/utility for coats and muddy boots. Downstairs of cottage spacious and nicely decorated. Kitchen large and reasonable well equipped. Warm and cosy. Walking distance to train station.

- Mrs Smythe, October 2013
Mr Smith September 2013

“We had a smashing week.”

The cottage was very comfy and relaxing. Everything we could wish for.

- Mr Smith, September 2013
sallyann126 July 2013

“Loved it so much wanted to stay longer”

We loved this cottage, it was gorgeous and everything we wanted. Really well equipped with little extras like tea and Welsh cakes ready on arrival, with a welcome card. This was the only contact we had with the owners. There were fresh flowers in a vase a nice touch , games, books, dvds & cd's. A washing machine clothes line pegs washing powder, not that I wanted to be washing on holiday but it was so nice not to come home to a load. the cottage has a single train railway line running outside the patio and garden. The 6am train woke us briefly but was really not a problem at all . The property is so so quiet and peaceful but not more than 5 mins walk you are in the heart of lovely Betws y coed a busy place full of live with everything you need . We marveled at this many times. I can't speak highly enough of this rental cottage, we had such a wonderful time here in North Wales. A small point being extra picky the bathroom was a bit dated and needed a bit more of a thorough clean . Not dirty as such just not as immaculately clean as the rest of the house. Like i say dated, toilet flush kept getting stuck so you had to get a knack of using it as it were. Shower not very powerful either. These are really just minor points and should not put anyone of renting this gorgeous little gem

“The cottage was really comfortable and seemed roomy even with six of us.”

It was bright, light and airy even on the dullest days. Central location meant we could walk easily to the shops and attractions, yet it was still quiet and undisturbed. Private car parking was a bonus. All in all a lovely cottage - will recommend to friends! Many thanks to the owner.

About the location

BETWS-Y-COED

Llanrwst 4 miles; Blaenau Ffestiniog 11 miles.

Betws-y-Coed, known as the Gateway to 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 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.
