This 2-bedroom cottage is a converted 17th-century coaching inn sleeping four guests in the quiet Welsh village of Betws Garmon. Sitting on the north-western edge of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) just 5 miles from Caernarfon, this is a proper period property. Original beams, whitewashed stone walls and antique-style furniture give it real character throughout.

The village sits 2 miles from Mount Snowdon with footpaths leading up Yr Wyddfa nearby. Caernarfon's 13th-century castle is a short drive away. Dinas Dinlle beach is 10 miles out and the Llyn Peninsula, Isle of Anglesey and Portmeirion are all within 20 miles.

The inn has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Upstairs is a king-size bedroom with a sleigh bed and en-suite featuring a freestanding bath. The ground floor double bedroom has its own shower room. The lounge/diner has polished wooden floors, sumptuous sofas, a Smart TV and table football. A light-filled conservatory and private garden with BBQ complete the picture.

Caernarfon Castle (5 miles, 10 mins), Snowdon via Rhyd Ddu Path (2 miles, 5 mins), Portmeirion (18 miles, 30 mins) and Dinas Dinlle Beach (10 miles, 20 mins) are all close by.

This getaway suits couples or small families wanting a base in Snowdonia. Up to 2 dogs are welcome. Guests book it again and again.
