About this cottage rental
Our cottage, with private parking and open fire with fuel, is located in Croesor, within the Snowdonia National Park between Cnicht (a pyramid shaped mountain popular with climbers and hikers) and the Moelwyn range of mountains. There are varied and stunning walks available straight from the front door! The seaside at Morfa Bwchan (Black Rock Sands) is a short drive away near Porthmadog, and boasts large stretches of beautiful yellow sands, set between the castles of Criccieth and Harlech. There is a local shop and cafe/restaurant in Llanfrothen, two miles away. The nearest big supermarkets (Tesco/Aldi/Lidl) are in Porthmadog, 8 miles from Croesor. There is often a cafe in the village, as well as at the Brondanw estate a mile from Croesor. The Brondanw estate, with its beautifully kept gardens was the family home of Clough Williams-Ellis, the famous architect of Portmeirion, 10 miles from the house.
Our living room is equiped with an open fire with fuel, two sofas, TV with Amazon Prime stick, DVD player, table with 5 comfy chairs, kitchen area with an oven and 4 hobs, microwave, fridge with small freezer compartment, kettle, toaster, washing machine and dishwasher. After a long day enjoying the mountains and beaches, enjoy the open fire while soaking in the panoramic views from the sofa!
Upstairs you will find the main double bedroom, The second bedroom with two single bunk beds, and a large bathroom with bath and shower. Down stairs there is an additional bedroom with a small double bed and TV.
The enclosed front garden is equipped with an Al fresco dining area, overlooking the Croesor valley and the Moelwyn mountain range.
The cottage situated in Croesor, near Porthmadog is well equiped for any family holiday and has been let for over 30 years. The property is available for rental all year. We recommend walking to Beddgelert, following the stream over Nantmoor, through the Eyri forest and along the world famous Aberglasslyn pass where you will find several pubs and restaurants. The pyramid shaped mount cincht(meaning Knight) and the Moelyn mountains. Have a short walk along the mountain river, where there are opportunities to play pooh sticks or just give the dogs a walk.
Hike up the Roman road, to catch the Ffestiniog steam railway at Tan y Bwlch station, where there is a gentle walk around the very scenic lake. You can also walk down to the Oakeley Arms through majestic trees and down the densely Forested track.

We had an excellent stay at this property. It is in a fantastic location and the property itself was ideal for us.

All previous reviews cover it really. The house has everything you need to have a great week, cook large meals if needed, heating more that sufficient to battle even minus temperatures outside, modern windows that open (something we’ve found old properties often don’t have) for summer months. It’s location at the end of 2 miles of single track (plenty of passing places) means no through traffic. One house and a farm beyond us meant the only vehicles we saw was delivery drivers. The quiet was just amazing.The minus for us was it seems they rely on the previous tenants heeding the instructions and hoovering before they leave. Someone before us obviously didn’t as when I came to do so the hoover revealed a lot of golden retriever like long hair in the lounge. Our dog has short hair. I spent almost an hour scrubbing away with the hoover but its suction was not as it should be (I have the same hoover and it’s much more powerful). So my only suggestion would be add a 40 cleaning fee to the booking and hire someone up to the task.That said, we will definitely book again. But maybe bring our own hoover.

We had a lovely 4 night stay over Christmas in this cozy little cottage in a tranquil little village at the foot of Cnicht mountain. The fireplace was a delight, as were the lazy-boy sofas and the well equipped kitchen. The stairs were a bit of a challenge for my knees, but good training for hiking up in the hills and the valley. Plenty of walking opportunities from the village and the most incredible view of Cnicht and across to Snowdon, weather permitting!

Location very good but property needs a good clean and some TLC. Strong smell of dog in the living area and hair on the carpets. Generally needs a spruce up and a lick of paint.
