Sygun Cottage

A romantic, away-from-it-all cottage for two near Beddgelert

Sygun Cottage is a detached self-catering cottage in a wonderfully peaceful spot near Beddgelert, one of the prettiest villages in Snowdonia (Eryri). Sleeping just two, it is an idyllic bolthole for a couple — quiet, private and surrounded by mountain and river views, with a cosy log fire for the evenings. Guests adore it, awarding an exceptional 9.6 out of 10 from more than 40 reviews on Booking.com, and a perfect 10 for its location. If you are after a romantic, get-away-from-everything base in the heart of the national park, this is a real find.

The cottage

This is a one-bedroom detached cottage for two, comfortable and well equipped for a self-catering stay. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, a fridge, a microwave and a dishwasher, and there is a washing machine too, with a laundry service available. A woodburning log fire — with wood supplied — makes the sitting room snug after a day on the hills, and there is a terrace and garden to enjoy the views and the fresh mountain air. Modern comforts have not been forgotten either, with a Smart TV and ultra-fast WiFi that guests rate a full 10 out of 10. There is free private parking, and bike hire can be arranged for exploring the valley trails.

The setting

The cottage’s “isolated and quiet” position is exactly what makes it so special — reviewers describe it as a beautiful, remote retreat in an incredible location. You are about a mile from Beddgelert village, a gentle 25-minute walk, and just over a mile from the lovely Llyn Glaslyn (the Afon Glaslyn river), with Snowdon itself around five miles away. It is genuinely peaceful, with mountain and river views rather than neighbours, yet close enough to the village and the main sights to be practical. Please note the cottage is non-smoking and pets are not accepted.

Beddgelert and Snowdonia

Beddgelert is famous for the touching legend of Gelert’s Grave, the dramatic Aberglaslyn Pass and the Welsh Highland Railway, which steams through some of the finest scenery in Wales. From Sygun Cottage you are perfectly placed for the village’s tearooms and walks, the Sygun Copper Mine, the high peaks around Snowdon, and the wider attractions of the national park. The Welsh Highland Railway steams between Caernarfon and Porthmadog right through Beddgelert, offering one of the most scenic train journeys in Britain and an easy, memorable day out from the cottage.
