  • "A lovely cottage conveniently placed for visiting many areas of North Wales."

  • "Had a lovely stay at no1 Railway cottage."

    Very clean and comfortable. Fully equipped with everything needed for a worry free stay. Double bed was super comfy. Owner was so nice kept us informed. Had a lovely touch of fresh flowers and the fire on when we arrived. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again. I would.like to stay that on Skyecottages the description does state sky TV which there isn't. It does have a smart TV which you can use Netflix. Disney + and YouTube however the WiFi isn't strong enough for it to work all the time. But we weren't there for TV watching so not really a problem. The village is a beautiful place!

  • "The cottage is in a perfect location and the views from it with all the wild birds are amazing."

    The trains really aren’t a bother, in fact we ended up looking for them and waving! Everything you need is provided and very useful utility room. The owner gave us a friendly helpful call with all the info prior to the trip and we were warned about the damp patch in the double room and the non working blind before we arrived. On the downside the sofas were perhaps a little past their use with big sags and unfortunately for me, with a dust mite allergy, the radiator tops were absolutely full of fluff, cobwebs and dust in every location though the kitchen was the worst. Perhaps with a little more attention to cleanliness this could have been a perfect getaway.

    Private parking close by was a real bonus as was the outside seating. We would definitely stay here again. The Welsh cakes and milk in the fridge were a thoughtful and welcome touch.

  • "A most enjoyable holiday experience, overall trying to please every individual is difficult but this property in my view comes very close to perfection."

    Car parking was excellent which was private and an added bonus was safe off road. Excellent communication from the owner regarding ascertaining keys etc. The following points are made in a helpful manner:- 1. Refuse bins (especially the green re-cycle) need labelling so that no doubt in what to place in each bin, bottles, cardboard, cans, plastic etc. 2. Additional plastic bin liners for the large black bin would help to keep bin clean. 3. A dimmer switch for the upstairs stairs/landing light or a night light to switch on during hours of darkness if you need the bathroom during the night to save putting lights on to see where your going may be beneficial especially as one bedroom exits by the stairs. 4. A warning tape or marker on the step from the kitchen into the entrance hall (to front door) needed, the step is lower and black in colour and therefore it was easy to misplace your footing and balance as happened upon our visit until you are used to it. I hasten to add the above issues did not overshadow the overall experience of the property which was most enjoyable. Thank you.

  • "We absolutely loved our stay at the Railway cottage."

    On arrival we were greeted by fresh flowers on the table, welsh cakes and a bottle of milk. Much appreciated after a long drive! The cottage was well presented, cosy, clean and comfortable. The garden was lovely and we wrapped up and sat out for our morning teas while watching the birds. The location was perfect, we were in walking distance of shops, restaurants and attractions. I would definitely stay here again, as it was enjoyed by all of the family.

  • "A beautiful modern, well equipped home-from-home in the heart of Betws y Coed village."

    Thoughtful owners left milk, coffee, welshcakes and fresh flowers out for our arrival. Designated parking for up to 2 cars, a sunny quiet patio area to relax, yet only sminutes walk from pubs, restaurants and the Gwydr National Park & River Llugwy. Something for everyone and an excellent base to explore the beauty of North Wales. Highly recommended.

    Everything was immaculately clean and very well equipped - Mrs Williams was extremely helpful and provided lots of useful info about shops, pubs etc. The village is a perfect setting to explore Snowdonia and the surrounding areas - everything seemed to be much nearer than expected - which meant we weren't spending lots of time travelling... We cant wait to come back and explore further - once lockdown is lifted.. Many thanks...

  • "This cottage was lovely, and exactly what we wanted."

    My son who loves trains loved the train museum and shop. We all liked being so close to the shops and cafes while still being so quiet. Unfortunately due to rain we were unable to walk as much as we would have liked but found plenty to do locally with two high school children. The parking was close enough not to be a problem. We had a supermarket food delivery just after we arrived and were able to top up at the local shops as needed. We all really enjoyed our stay.

  • "This cottage is ideally situated not just for the pretty village of Betws-y-Coed but for the Snowdonia National Park ~ you can get to the high lights of the Park like the Snowdon Railway or Zip World before the crowds and take advantage of the various early bird offers."

    There's plenty of private allocated parking, which is important in Betws, and it is literally a moment's walk away from the bustling shops and cafes around the Station. It is worth noting the trains are not running on the Conwy line at the moment due to storm damage in March '19 ~ due to reopen in the Summer. It's warm and well equipped and one we will revisit.

About the location

BETWS-Y-COED

Llanrwst 4 miles; Blaenau Ffestiniog 11 miles.

Betws-y-Coed, known as the Gateway to Snowdonia, is North Wales' most popular inland resort. Surrounded by dense woodland and magnificent mountain country, this is a haven for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. At Betws-y-Coed the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, and the beauty of the area is enhanced by cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges. Most famous of all are the magnificent Swallow Falls, situated where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a spectacular chasm. The village has shops, pubs, places to eat, miniature railway, a riverside golf course and the Tree Top Adventure High Ropes Course, and is home to The Snowdonia National Park Visitor Centre, as well as being the start of the beautiful Conwy Valley which leads to the coast and the lovely towns of Llandudno and Conwy.
