  • "Really enjoyed our stay at Osprey Cottage."

    Clean, lovely quality bedding and fluffy towels. Lots of nice little touches, wine and cake, basket with pasta and sauces for first night meal if late for shops. Lots of beverages and tolietries in case you had forgotten any. Thought of everything. Lovely views sat outside eating meals. Very peaceful. Wouldn't recommend for less mobile people as the stairs are very steep and if you sleep in the right side bedroom at top of the stairs then you have to remember a large step down then up again to get to the bathroom. The parking description isn't accurate. It says roadside parking for 1 car. As the property is not beside the road, down a little path, through the next door neighbours garden this isn't right. The parking is in fact approx 60 yards away up hill outside another large holiday cottage, where if they have 3 cars staying there is no room. The other parking suggestion is in free car park which is approx 170 yards then you need to walk uphill with all your stuff. Although there is nothing you can do to change the parking, people may not be happy about it as you describe it wrong. We are reasonably fit older people and managed fine.

    Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased you enjoyed the views and little touches. Being away from the road gives quietness, which is an advantage for most, but we will amend the parking and access information, so it is more specific for people with limited mobility.

Trailblazers and nature lovers alike will relish the opportunity to uncover the countless paths that crisscross the tumbling landscape, whether it be a gentle riverside amble or a challenging hike up one of Wales’ most famous peaks Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), the largest mountain in Wales, take the nearby Sherpa bus for a hassle-free ride, leaving parking worries behind.

For thrill-seekers, Zip World offers an adrenaline rush range of activities, while nearby Beddgelert is perfect for a charming day out, don’t miss the Welsh Highland Railway station in Beddgelert or the Ffestiniog Railway near the Osprey Centre.
