The Coach House

The Coach House at Old Vicarage is a charming self-catering cottage for two in the pretty village of Betws-yn-Rhos, near Abergele on the North Wales coast. Set in the grounds of a former vicarage and opposite the historic 16th-century village pub, it makes a peaceful, dog-friendly base within easy reach of the seaside, the castles of the north coast and the mountains of Snowdonia.

A peaceful village cottage for two

This is a relaxed, comfortable bolthole ideal for a couple. The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with a gas hob and electric oven, a comfortable sitting area with a TV, DVD and CD player, and the practical touches that make self-catering easy, including a washing machine and tumble dryer and gas central heating. Outside, there is an enclosed lawned garden with seating and a barbecue — a lovely spot to relax on a sunny evening.

Comfortable and dog-friendly

The single bedroom has a comfortable double bed, sleeping two guests. Dogs are genuinely welcome here, with up to three accepted by arrangement and a dog kennel available, and the enclosed garden gives them somewhere safe to potter. There is private parking for two cars, and free WiFi throughout.

Where it is

Betws-yn-Rhos is a quiet, traditional village in the hills just behind the North Wales coast, a little over a mile from the centre and opposite its 16th-century pub. It is a wonderfully peaceful spot, yet only a short drive from the seaside resorts and the main attractions of the region. You can browse more places to stay across the area on our North Wales Coast accommodation page.

Things to do nearby

There is a tremendous amount to see within a short drive. The dramatic hilltop ruins of Gwrych Castle, with its summer events and walking trails, are around four miles away, while the fairytale Bodelwyddan Castle and the elegant Victorian resort of Llandudno are both within easy reach. History lovers can explore the mighty Conwy Castle and its walled town, and the mountains, lakes and villages of Snowdonia begin just a few miles inland — perfect for a day in the hills. The beaches of the north coast are close by for a classic seaside day out.

Who it suits

With its quiet village setting, enclosed garden and warm welcome for dogs, The Coach House is ideal for couples and dog owners wanting a peaceful country base that is still handy for the coast, the castles and the mountains. It is equally good for a relaxed seaside break or an active week exploring North Wales.

Good to know

As a self-contained cottage for two, The Coach House suits couples who want their own space in a quiet, rural-feeling village. There is no hot tub or woodburner, but gas central heating keeps it warm and welcoming year-round, and the enclosed garden is a real bonus for dog owners. The village pub opposite is handy for an evening meal, with Abergele close by for shops and supplies.
