Riverbank Cottage

Riverbank Cottage is a traditional stone-built cottage set right beside the river in the postcard village of Beddgelert, making a gentle, restful base in the southern half of the Snowdonia National Park (Eryri). It sleeps four, welcomes one well-behaved dog, and pairs an open fire with an enclosed patio for evenings after a day on the hills — all within a stroll of the village’s cafes, pubs and the riverbank itself.
