About this cottage rental

Cefnan is a traditional quarryman's cottage that was built in the 19th Century and full of character and charm set in the village of Rhyd Ddu, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. The cottage provides an idyllic retreat, whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway, an active outdoor holiday or family break the cottage provides a perfect location.

It is one of five stone terraced cottages on a raised walkway, the front overlooking the old tea room and the back has the most breath taking views of Snowdon. You can see the train going on its journey to the top of the mountain and the Welsh Highland railway passes the back garden.

The cottage has a tiled floor in the living room with a three seater settee and arm chair, dining table and an open stone fireplace with log burner.

The staircase has a small landing with doors leading to two bedrooms and bathroom with toilet, bath and shower.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee maker, washer and tumbler dryer and a good supply of cutlery, crockery, glassware and cooking utensils. There is free Fibre Broadband and Wifi.

Heating is by electric radiators and a cosy log burner in the living room with logs purchased locally. All linen, towels and tea towels are provided.

The garden is on two levels with the top level accessible via steep slate steps providing views over Snowdon and the Nantlle Ridge.

Be assured of a warm welcome in the village pub, the Cwellyn Arms, which offers a wide selection of great snacks, meals and guest ales throughout the day and into the evening.

Rhyd Ddu is a quiet village on the A4085, about 3 miles north of Beddgelert, situated at the foot of Snowdon and its surrounding peaks. The Welsh Highland railway runs from Caernarfon to Porthmadoc passing through the village with a stop within walking distance of the cottage.

One of the routes up Snowdon - the Rhyd Ddu path - has its starting point in the village, and the Snowdon Ranger path is two miles away. Popular activities in the area are walking, climbing, mountain biking, pony trekking, fishing, golf and much more. Caernarfon is 9 miles away through impressive mountain scenery.

Bangor, Anglesey and Llandudno are about 30 minutes drive from the cottage.

The flat was lovely and cosy... the garden was a lovely surprise as it's not easy to see how high up it is from the images but steep steps are noted which wasnt a problem for us. Perfect location of you are climbing Snowden on the Rhyd Ddu path!

We have had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. Sally provided lots of information in advance and the cottage was all ready when we arrived, with a bottle of wine waiting for us which was a lovely and very welcome touch after a 300 mile drive! The cottage was really comfortable, plenty of space and very well equipped. The best thing was the location, at the foot of Yr Wydffa and right by the start of the Rhyd Ddu ascent. We (2 adults, one 9 year old and one French bulldog) all had a wonderful time staying here and would recommend wholeheartedly for anyone wishing to explore the area, or just to chill away from everyday busyness of life!

Really lovely cottage in a great location. Pub just down the road is fantastic, lovely food and warm welcome. Walk to Beddgelert great, lots of walks on the doorstep. Only thing to mention is that parking is not on site- it’s on the road outside. We only struggled for a space once as it’s a quiet enough road. Would definitely return.

Lovely clean property with everything needed and more. Great to be able to step out and have several different walks on your doorstep. Great WiFi when the weather was not so good. The local pub serves good food for when you don’t fancy cooking. Would happily stay again.
