This 4-bedroom lodge is a spacious three-storey property sleeping up to eight guests. Sitting just one mile south of Betws-y-Coed in North Wales it overlooks the River Conwy. The riverside setting is genuinely special and the garden bench sits right beside the fenced river with views across the water.

Betws-y-Coed sits at the eastern gateway to Snowdonia. The rivers Conwy, Llugwy, Lledr and Machno are all close by for walking, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. The Fairy Glen is nearby. The village itself has craft shops, galleries and pubs within a mile.

Four stylishly co-ordinated bedrooms across three floors: a ground-floor double with en-suite and Sky TV, a first-floor double with shower room, a lower-ground king-size with freestanding bath, jet shower and sauna and a twin with en-suite. The lounge has a feature fireplace and large picture windows. The country-style kitchen has French doors to the garden.

Swallow Falls is 1.5 miles away (5 mins). Conwy Castle is 16 miles (25 mins). Snowdon via Llanberis is 18 miles (30 mins). Bodnant Garden is 14 miles (22 mins).

This rental suits groups of 8 wanting a proper base for Snowdonia. Three parking spaces, garden storage for bikes and canoes, a sauna and two outdoor dining areas make this a well-equipped riverside retreat.
