Bryn Llinos Cottage

A family holiday cottage in the heart of Beddgelert

Right in the centre of Beddgelert, one of Snowdonia’s prettiest villages, this comfortable, fully equipped holiday cottage makes a superb family base. Sleeping five across three bedrooms, it puts you within steps of the river, the village shops and cafés, and the walks that radiate out into the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia). It is an ideal self-catering home for a family or a small group wanting to explore this beautiful corner of North Wales, with the freedom to come and go and the village quite literally on the doorstep.

Comfortable family living

The cottage has three bedrooms sleeping up to five, with comfortable, well-equipped accommodation throughout — everything a family needs for a self-catering holiday. Being right in the heart of the village, it is the kind of base where you can walk out to the riverside, pick up supplies, eat out in the evening and stroll back, with no need to drive once you have arrived.

Who it suits

This is a family-friendly cottage rather than a couples’ bolthole, with room for five, so it suits families with children or a group of friends. Beddgelert and the surrounding valleys are a paradise for walkers and outdoor lovers of all ages, so it works beautifully for an active family holiday — days out on the trails and the little railways, evenings back in the comfort of the cottage.

Exploring Beddgelert and Snowdonia

Beddgelert is regularly named among the loveliest villages in Wales — a cluster of stone cottages where the rivers Glaslyn and Colwyn meet beneath the peaks of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa). It is famous for the legend of Gelert, the faithful hound, whose grave is a gentle riverside stroll away, and just to the south the dramatic Aberglaslyn Pass carries the river through a steep, wooded gorge. The Welsh Highland Railway steams right through the village on one of Britain’s great scenic train journeys, the Sygun Copper Mine and the tranquil Llyn Dinas lake lie close by, and walkers will find paths up Snowdon and gentler valley routes within easy reach.
