We had a great stay in this property. The location was perfect - very short walk to the village and all pubs / shops. Great walking routes very close by.
Cosy little cottage with on street parking a 200metres from village centre with 4 pubs, local shop and amazing ice cream parlour. Great to be able to walk from the property into the hills or catch a bus outside the door to explore the area.
We are very pleased with our stay. The house is clean, has a large kitchen, which is well equipped. There is a fridge and a dishwasher. The kitchen has a table with five chairs. There is a living room with a fireplace and a bookcase with various books for rainy days. The owner took care of a collection of brochures and guides from attractions throughout the area. The house is located in a charming village, in the heart of the mountains. An excellent location from which we have access to many places, that can be reached within 30 minutes to 1 hour. I highly recommend it.

We stayed a week in this lovely cottage in Beddgelert, everything you need in this home from home, although there is a small extra charge for bedding and towels if you don't want to take your own. Parking is on street so didn't always get a space outside, the kitchen could do with blinds or curtains as you can straight in, and the outside seating area could be better but these are just minor things. Its a beautiful village made better by the super weather we had, and a great base for exploring this part of Wales.
Beddgelert...What a fantastic location! The cottage is of a very good standard, clean & comfy. All rooms are well fitted out and of a good size. Basically every thing you need for a great time.
The rear garden is enclosed and our Dog (only a small fella) was safe enough but be aware there is a 'right of way' for 2 other cottages (via gates), once we knew, we made sure he wasnt a problem for the others, all was good.
There are plenty of stunning walks & views without even leaving the village. Eating & drinking out was easy & good (remember to book a table so your not disappointed) some also do take aways. Shop in the village was well stocked or a supermarket in Porthmadog (15 mins away).
The Road side parking was on the whole ok, safe enough but at times, like upon arrival we had to park a good distance from the cottage and carry our luggage back to the cottage which was a bit of a inconvenience, Any other time, not really a problem (the village & roads were there before cars were thought of).
Communication with the owner was very good & responses were fast & helpful.
So would we visit again?... definitely!
PS. Thanks for the week of 'Blue Sky's & Sunshine!!!!
We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It has everything you will need for a holiday away. The village beddgelert is beautiful and has stunning walks from the cottage. Snowdon is only a short drive away
The property was fabulous. The pictures don’t do it justice and it feels more spacious inside than the pictures suggest. It’s perfectly located for all of the amenities in Beddgelert and the host was very helpful. Will hopefully return in the future.
Beautiful holiday cottage in a lovely position. Well stocked and presented and 2 minutes walk from pubs and restaurants. Upstairs ensuite and bathroom is great. Safe and secure garden. The host is extremely helpful. Thanks xx

Good value for location, although needs updating
Couldn't ask for a better location for exploring Snowdonia. This cottage is in the middle of the stunning village of Beddgelert (lovely village store, craft shops, pub / restaurants & amazing ice-cream shop). Compared to other properties this cottage is much cheaper. It has all the basics but needs updating (some kitchen cupboards coming off, top bunk mattress uncomfy, DVD remote doesn't work etc).

Beautiful village
Beddgelert is a lovely village with fantastic walks from the doorstep. This cottage is extremely warm especially in the mornings. The wood burner is great on an Autumn night. The whole cottage needs updating and some modern appliances added (e.g.: washing machine, dishwasher, more modern shower) as well as more comfy sofas etc. Has all you need for cooking etc. For the price, linen and towels should be provided. We all loved the village, sygun copper mine, Welsh Highland Railway and the many walks from the door.

Comfortable cottage
Comfortable cottage ideally situated for all the walks in Snowdonia. Road parking is an issue as everyone wants their space, but it was a minor hassle as you are so close to Beddgelert village.

Why they chose this property
My grandparents had a cottage in this gorgeous village and I have been visiting Beddgelert since I was a baby. When my Gran passeD away we sold her cottage, no 18. 20 years later I went back to the village and found this place for sale. It was and still is like coming home and that's the experience we hope you have when you visit Beddgelert and stay in our homely cottage. I have travelled the world and currently live abroad. But I know of nowhere more beautiful than the stunning mountains, lakes and rivers of Snowdonia, not to mention the stunning coastline just a 20 minute drive away.
What makes this property unique
This cottage whilst retaining some original features of this miners cottage, has been renovated and extended to provide ample, comfortable, family accommodation. All the comforts of home, with the mountains and lakes on your doorstep. A warm welcoming multi-fuel burner in the front room, modern appliances in the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, one en-suite and a family room.
