Description

Luxurious detached house in a unique riverside location on Afon Llugwy near Capel Curig, right in the heart of Eryri/Snowdonia National Park. Perfect for friends and families to enjoy this beautiful area nestled by the breathtaking Cobden’s Falls. Join the footpath from the garden gate and walk over the road to the hotel for a meal out. Capel Curing is 0.75 miles with traditional eateries and shops, and footpaths up to Moel Siabod and Yr Wyddfa – Snowdon’s summit, Crafnant and Geirionydd lakes. Betws-y-Coed, 4 miles away, is renowned as a haven for walkers and mountain bikers alike, offering a range of shops, restaurants and bars with the picturesque Swallow Falls waterfall just 2 miles away. The village of Llanberis is 9 miles away, where visitors can take the train up Snowdon or along the lake, hire boats or swim in the stunning Padarn Lake.

Park your car, admire the stunning location and walk round to the side door and into this luxurious house. The boot room has plenty of space for your outdoor attire before you start exploring. Walk through to the stylish utility with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Continue through to the spacious kitchen/diner with bifold doors onto the riverside deck. Open the doors and listen to the river and birdsong. There are interesting details and artwork throughout the house with all the thoughtful extras designed with your comfort in mind. If you decide to eat in, the kitchen is elegantly designed with all the equipment you need to rustle up a meal. When ready, gather at the dining table which is the perfect setting to enjoy the meal and plan your holiday activities. After a full day out, relax in the gorgeous lounge with comfortable sofas, a Smart TV and a selection of books. For cosy nights in, switch on the wood burner-effect electric fire. Also on this floor is a convenient separate WC. When ready to retire, head up the feature staircase and choose from three attractive bedrooms; the king-size with a fabulous en-suite bathroom with a free-standing bath, a double room with riverside views and, finally, a lovely twin. To complete the accommodation on this floor, you will also find an elegant shower room for a leisurely start to the day.

Heading outside, there’s a landscaped enclosed garden with feature planting and unrivalled views overlooking the Afon Llugwy cascading down Cobdens Falls, which is a sight to behold. Embrace the sounds and views on the covered deck with comfortable seating and a table, a second seating area with furniture. Open the garden gate to join the footpaths and start exploring this glorious area on the doorstep. There is a bike bar to lock your bikes too, space for your kayaks and paddleboards in the garden.

Reviews

This cottage is simply the most beautiful stays i’ve ever had in my life. Other than the fact the location and originality of the cottage is unreal, the interior is just as nice. The owner was on hand with messages if needed the whole weekend. Can’t recommend this cottage enough! Can’t wait to come back x

Miss J,

A great place in a great spot - we had fantastic weather which meant we could take advantage of the outdoor space, already missing the sound of the river and the views, easy to get out and explore from the back door as well as great access to all that snowdonia offers - we will return, just a matter of when

Mrs M,

Wonderful property and location. One of the best, if not the best, cottage we have stayed in. Lovely and comfy, warm and spotlessly clean. We brought our Australian family to see my homeland of North Wales and it did not disappoint. They were very impressed with the scenery and the house! Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!

Mrs J,

You can’t help but be bewitched by Drws Y Coed, by both the river and the cottage, they’re both amazing. The location of the cottage, perched ‘over’ the River is incredible and set just a few minutes’ drive from Snowden in one direction or Betws-y-Coed in the other, what more could you ask for? Just Fabulous. And not to be trumped by the great location, the Cottage itself is Beautiful. Warm and cozy (we came in January ’25), it’s spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and wonderful stay. It’s elegantly decorated throughout (the photos don’t do it justice), and it has real a contemporary homely feel to it. We will return next winter.

Mr F,

What a fabulous place to stay, five-star throughout, including the location. Accommodation five-star plus, location a dream overlooking the water. Fixtures and fittings inside and outside the property are fabulous; comfy beds, beautiful lounge to relax in on an evening, kitchen a cook's dream. Great communication from the caretakers. I 100% recommend this holiday property; we did not want to leave and I will most definitely be returning. Thank you for allowing us the use of this five-star accommodation. Vicky & Ben

Miss C,

Amazing place. Cottage was so well equipped. Location was stunning. We really enjoyed. I would definitely come back and also recommend to my friends.

Mrs T,

What a fantastic location and home! Can’t recommend this enough, the owners have done a superb renovation on this lovely cottage!

Mr S,

This old riverside cottage has been renovated to such a high standard, a wonderful combination of luxury and good taste, without any compromise on comfort and cosiness. Incredibly well-equipped for self-catering too, and with plenty of storage space, good hot showers and quality linen. The location, however, is the biggest plus of all - right on the bank of the river with a beautiful rocky cascade just outside, visible from all of the huge windows. The large veranda overhangs the river for a beautiful place to just sit and gaze. We stayed for a week in November and were treated to a good snowfall on the first night, which turned the view into a winter wonderland the next day. Even at sub-zero temperatures the cottage was warm inside, and there were plenty of throws to wrap up in for extra cosiness. There's a short woodland walk to a cafe, right from the front door across the footbridge, and plenty of other long walks direct from site. It's also only a short drive from the whole of Snowdonia and endless opportunities for walks and activities and incredible scenery, and just half an hour from the coast too. Despite feeling isolated, there is a reasonable pub within five minutes walk. The walls of the cottage are almost a metre thick and the double glazing is well sealed, so any noise of the waterfall or the road are considerably damped down - I am a light sleeper but easily slept through. On our last day, Storm Bert arrived - the combination of torrential rain and snow-melt from the mountains caused the river to rise by several metres and become a gushing torrent of white water - truly spectacular, we spent the day just watching a photographing it in awe. Despite the riverside location of the property we were safe and dry the whole time, affording us a close-up display of nature's forces and a real holiday experience to remember!

Ms G,

What a beautiful cottage. Outside space was breathtaking even on a rainy weekend, also under cover in some parts. Whole place was spotless, and finished to a high standard.

Mrs H,

We loved the house. It was spotlessly clean, had everything you could possibly need and beautifully presented. The deck is somewhere you could loose yourself for a few hours just listening and watching the water. We will return

Mrs S,

This cottage is absolutely stunning the location is just wonderful only 4 miles into Betws y coed the Tyn y coed just a 5 min walk from the cottage serves lovely food, the cottage is kitted put to an an great standard and everything has been thought of we highly recommend

Mrs H,

Fabulous views from the outside terrace loved sitting outside listening to the water. Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed and would stay again

Miss P,

This is one of the best places we have stayed.The whole house is beautifully done and very comfortable. And the view from the back is stunning.

Mrs T,

The location of this property is stunning. The view of the river from the deck is wonderful. It is situated on a fairly main road but noise wasn't really an issue once inside. Inside, it is tastefully decorated and feels luxurious. The kitchen is very well equipped (so pleased to see plenty of mugs and cutlery!) and the lounge comfortable and cosy. The beds were comfortable with lovely soft throws and the whole place was spotless. Our family also loved the collection of games and puzzles provided. The welcome pack was much appreciated. There is a pub serving great food just a couple of minutes walk away and there are lovely walks if you cross the bridge to the other side of the river. We would absolutely stay here again.

Mrs L,
