Quaint cottage, tranquil location with lovely walks on the doorstep
Quaint little cottage in the lovely quiet hamlet of Cwm Penmachno. There are amazing views from the cottage across the valley. We went for a couple of great walks up the disused quarry, just up the road. Once at the top of this walk there are fantastic views of the valley. This was a really interesting walk, highly recommended. There was enough off-street parking for two cars plus more space if we needed it on the road. We appreciated the wood burner stove and TV with streaming device (Netflix, etc) in the living room and the large kitchen/diner with lots of space for a large family to congregate. The sleeping areas were not perfect for older people however, probably more suited to a young family but we made it work. My wife and I slept in the top bedroom (loft) and found the two single beds to be comfortable, however having to go up two flights of stairs to get to bed was tiring. If we were a little younger I'm sure it would have been no problem at all. (the loft would be perfect for children for example). The low beams were a bit annoying having bashed our heads a couple of times. Maybe the owner could consider attaching some sort of foam/bump strip. The double bed in the main bedroom, according to my sister-in-law was uncomfortable and she commented that she thought that the springs had gone in the mattress. The owner was very responsive to my questions and accommodating prior to making the booking as well as during my stay. We would definitely book this property again

Great to wake up to!
A beautifully renovated & furnished cottage in an exceptionally lovely valley.One problem we should have anticipated--the bedrooms are very small; especially for oldies like us--mid-70s,80s and one of 90! More storage space in the double-bed room would have been appreciated. All-in- all though we enjoyed our stay very much.Thank you,Erica

This was our 5th visit
This was our 5th time we have stayed at this lovely cottage with it’s beautiful surroundings. The location is perfect to visit surrounding attractions and it’s such a lovely area to stay. This time the weather was not so nice but we still managed to do all the things we planned. My only criticism was the cottage was not as clean as it had been in the past.

Just back from a fabulous time here at this cottage. Was nice and remote but also close enough to explore. The cottage was beautifully presented and had absolutely everything we needed and more. As and when we come back to North Wales this will be our choice of place to stay. Thank you :)

Great little cottage
Good property in a nice location. Not too far from Betws y Coed. Good sized kitchen/diner. Good downstairs space. Bedrooms a little small, but comfortable. Very good value for money. Garden quite small, grass area quite steep but great views from front and back of the cottage. An enjoyable stay and we were very lucky with the weather.

We had a lovely time here. The location is pretty spectacular, surrounded by peaks and the old slate quarry. Remote enough to feel very peaceful, but close enough to the village / town to not feel too cut off. Very well equipped and wonderful large kitchen area. Thank you!

Excellent Property & Location
The property has been refurbished to a very high standard and is very well equipped. Hard to think of anything missing. The secure shed for bicycle storage is welcome and big enough for 2-3 bikes. The location is quiet with great views and good walks from the door. It's a short drive to Betws Y Coed if the quiet gets too much. The Eagle in Penmachno is welcoming with good ales and good basic food, and there's a convenience store too, approx. 3 miles by road. I'd recommend exploring the old quarry and going onto the deserted slate village further up, you'll find all the info. including guides and maps in the property. Overall, a definite one to return to and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy outdoor activity.
