Bwthyn Llwynog Cottage

A romantic one-bedroom cottage for two near Beddgelert

Set in the Aberglaslyn corner of southern Snowdonia near Beddgelert, this comfortably furnished self-catering cottage is designed as a romantic bolthole for two. With a single bedroom and an easy, get-away-from-it-all feel, it suits couples looking for a quiet base among some of the most beautiful mountain and river scenery in Wales. As a self-catering let it gives you the freedom to set your own pace — early starts for the hills, lazy mornings, or evenings in with the doors closed and the peace of Eryri (Snowdonia) all around.

A cosy retreat for a couple

The cottage sleeps two and has one bedroom furnished with a kingsize bed, making it a snug and private choice for couples, whether that is a special occasion, a walking break or simply a few days away from the everyday. Being entirely self-contained, it is the sort of place where you can cook a relaxed dinner, open a bottle of wine and plan the next day’s adventure without anyone else around. Tucked into the landscape, it offers the kind of seclusion and quiet that makes for a real escape from the everyday.

Who it suits

This is a retreat for two rather than a family base, and it works beautifully for couples who want walking, scenery and quiet on the doorstep. Beddgelert and the surrounding valleys are a paradise for walkers and outdoor lovers, so it appeals to anyone who likes to spend the day on the trails or by the water and the evening unwinding somewhere peaceful and private.

Beddgelert and the Aberglaslyn Pass

Beddgelert is regularly named among the prettiest villages in Wales, a cluster of stone cottages where the rivers Glaslyn and Colwyn meet beneath the peaks of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa). The village is famous for the legend of Gelert, the faithful hound, whose grave is a short riverside stroll away. Just to the south, the dramatic Aberglaslyn Pass carries the river through a steep, wooded gorge — one of the most photographed spots in the national park and the start of a much-loved riverside walk. The Welsh Highland Railway steams right through the village, offering one of the great scenic train journeys in Britain, while the Sygun Copper Mine and the tranquil Llyn Dinas lake lie close by. Keen walkers will find the Watkin Path and other routes up Snowdon within easy reach, along with gentler valley and lakeside trails for quieter days.
