Thank you Lynn for a lovely stay. Beddgellert is beautiful and peaceful and we picked a great week to stay. Mid May had beautiful weather. The property was clean, the beds comfy, the position perfect and the river scenery from the back deck was great. We enjoyed sitting outside in the afternoon after sightseeing all day. There were basic supplies which is a nice touch as well. I hope we get chance to visit again, i couldn't think of anywhere better. 5 stars.
Had a lovely late September stay. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed for our little family break away to explore Eryri. Parking outside the cottage was never an issue and with the heart of the village just a few minutes walk down the road, the location next to the gently flowing river Colwyn was tranquil. Thank you Lynn for being a great host.
Sehr saubere FeWo mit schönem Außenbereich oberhalb vom Fluss.
Die Lage ist zum Wandern ausgezeichnet, es gibt auch einige Pubs und Restaurants im Ort.
Für Familie mit 2 Kindern ist die Wohnung top.ausreichend
We had a fantastic stay at Rhiwlas. The cottage was immaculately presented and thoughtfully equipped, and the location on the banks of the River Colwyn is stunning - lovely to sit out on the terrace for breakfast or an evening drink. Lynn is an excellent host and has clearly thought of every last detail. We look forward to retuning next year.
The most beautiful place my family has ever seen in Uk is the village where we stayed . Thank full to the host for this wonderful opportunity for the guests . Really enjoyed the stay over there and will remain in our memories for ever from now.....also Welsh mountains are outstanding ....
Simple but well appointed, clean cottage perfect for a family of 4. The river behind the property was a lovely feature and a 5 minute walk into the village for the shop, coffee shop or ice cream.
Great location to explore snowdon or lots of the surrounding Moel’s, abergaslyn falls is a lovely walk.
Der Check - In war problemlos, das Haus sauber und gemütlich. Wir hatten alles, was wir benötigten und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Beddgelert ist eine schöner ruhiger Ort, toller Ausgangspunkt für viele Wanderungen, auch ein gutes Busnetz.
Rhiwlas is small but perfectly formed. It has everything you need especially in the kitchen and the biscuits and milk left for us was very welcoming. We had a little trouble with the shower but Lynn had it sorted within the hour. Impressive! The location on the banks of the river is lovely and the easy walking distance into Bedd Gelert is great. We always managed to find a parking space outside. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Beddgelert is the prettiest village in north Wales, and this property is beautifully located along one of the rivers. We were very pleased with the rental, and Beddgelert made a perfect base for hill walking. Several hikes started out our front door. The electric charging for our rental car was also conveniently located <1 mile up the road. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely short stay at the cottage. It was warm and cosy and located very close to the middle of bedgelert. It's a real hidden gem. We would definitely come back
We really enjoyed our stay, the river is your backyard and we slept with the windows open at night to listen to the nature. Location is fantastic, it was quiet, clean and nicely appointed. Lynn was an excellent host. I would definitely stay here again on our next adventure to north Wales.
Very nice little cottage, perfectly situated for access to the beautiful village of Beddgelert. Thoughtful provisions in the cottage. Nice outdoor area that gets the evening sun. Only downside was parking, as most days we could not park outside the cottage and had to park further down the road.
Great Host. Communication & Info really good .
Nothing seemed too much trouble .
Absolutely love the position and the village of Beddgelert. Stunning scenery .
The cottage terrace overlooks babbling brook . Fabulous place to sit in the evening with a drink
Lynn was an amazing host and very accomodating. The cottage was a magical experience especially BBQ on the deck by the river. The village has plenty of activities with some pretty amazing sightseeing not to far away. CONWAY CASTLE is a must we loved that experience. There is so much to do so spend some time planning activities like hiking trail running water sports sightseeing, as theres a lot to do
