Description from owner
Description
Bwthyn Afon is a charming 18th century miner's holiday cottage. Set in a quiet location overlooking fields and nearby river & only a few minutes walk away from the Ffestiniog Steam Train railway station in Tanygrisiau. The cottage was completed renovated in 2012 and is decorated and furnished to provide delightful, homely accommodation to a high standard whilst retaining many character features such as an impressive inglenook fireplace with multi fuel stove in the lounge area, exposed beams and reproduction style panelling on the open staircase. The kitchen area is well equipped and modern in styling with spotlighting, whilst retaining a country cottage look and feel to it.
Situated in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, the cottage stands amongst some dramatic scenery and enjoys views of countryside & hillside encompassing the Manod mountains at the front with a craggy backdrop of the Moelwyn mountains which protect the village from much of the wind from northerly gales in the winter and give the village a pleasant southerly aspect with relatively mild weather considering how high it's located in Snowdonia.

• Open plan living accommodation with well appointed lounge & dining area with inglenook fireplace housing a multi fuel stove on a raised slate hearth, with exposed beams in the lounge area.

Response from the owner Thank you for your lovely comments and 5 bubble review, it's been a tough few months so to hear that you had a really great stay and the cottage had everything you needed makes it all worth while. We're so pleased you managed to visit so many places, the cottage and location is so well placed for visiting all the attractions this wonderful area of Snowdonia has to offer. Some things have changed due to Covid-19, removing the information leaflets being one of those measures, apologies for this. We were surprised to hear that the Lakeside Cafe was not dog-friendly, we have checked this out and they are dog-friendly but currently outside only, I'm guessing due to reduced seating indoors to adhere to the social distancing guidelines. Thank you once again and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future, perhaps when things are more 'normal'. Stay safe, all the best Angie and Rich x.
