Delightful mountain cottage with direct routes up to peak of Snowdon, Crib Goch, the Glyderau and Tryfan.
Wake up each day to enjoy the fascinating and ever changing landscape, enjoying that first coffee/tea overlooking a mountain stream.
*Guests age 16 and over only
We keep free range rescue chickens, so there is a steady supply of eggs for you to purchase at low cost if you want fresh eggs for breakfast.
You will have full use of the top garden, patio, and of course the entire Mountain!
There is parking for two cars at the front of the main house. Access to the cottage is along a secret cleft running through the middle of the boulder.. or a gate further up the lane.
We are private quiet hosts so unless you seek us out, we won't disturb you.
We are keen walkers and mountain bikers...Delightful mountain cottage with direct routes up to peak of Snowdon, Crib Goch, the Glyderau and Tryfan.

Dear Lisa and Chris, thank you so much for the wonderful time we spent in your house. The house is wonderful, with everything you need, especially a fantastic location in the middle of nature. We loved it. We have never had such a varied holiday. Everything was possible here. Hiking directly from the house, swimming in lakes or in the sea, or splashing around in the stream behind the house. We will definitely be back again.

Lovely cottage in wonderful location with amazing views. Friendly and informative owners. Forever grateful to Chris for convincing us not to do the Llanberis track up Snowdon, the Pyg track and Miners track were definitely more interesting.Could easily spend a week here exploring all the tracks in the area.

Lovely
Lovely cottage , great hosts and a lovely welcome with home made welsh cakes and everything to make a cuppa.
Even though it was very rainy and windy it was nice and cosy , and lovely to sit in bed looking down the pass.
Would definitely come back again , and in the winter.
Also loved being welcomed by the chickens every morning and whenever we came back.
We also took our dog with us and he loved it.

Excellent little cottage in a superb location.
Stayed in this cottage for a long weekend & absolutely loved it. Run by a very helpful & friendly couple, great communication leading up to our stay.
The cottage had two large double bedrooms & all the equipment you’d need for a pleasant stay.
The cottage is nestled right at the foot of Snowdon but is also in easy reach of the local town. The pub in the village was within walking distance, it had a real fire burning & some lovely home made food.
Definitely highly recommended!!!!

About the neighbourhood
Your local pub is the Vaynol Arms in Nant Peris and serves real ale; a friendly climbers/walkers pub. It's around 15 minutes walk away and the lanes can be pitch black at night, so bring a torch :)
Zip world is a short distance away (12 miles to ZW Velocity in Bethesda and 23 miles to ZW Titan in Blaenau Ffestiniog)
Plas y Brenin National Mountain Centre is 7 miles from the cottage, further up the Pass.
The Snowdon Railway takes you to the mountain summit (usually running May-Oct, weather permitting); the station is just 2 miles down the road.
