Cefnan, Rhyd-Ddu, Snowdonia

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.

At this time it offers cancellation flexibility and enhanced cleaning procedures.

It is one of five stone terraced cottages on a raised walkway, the front overlooking a 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.

The village tea room across from Cefnan offers a selection of meals and snacks throughout the day, and also an all-day breakfast. Be assured of a warm welcome by the owners Menno and Emma. The village pub, the Cwellyn Arms, also offers a wide selection of great meals and guest ales.

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.

Quiet Comfortable Cottage perfect for exploring Eryri National Park
We loved this cottage as it was the perfect base for us to explore a bit of Snowdonia National Park. We are active hikers and took two trails (one to the top of Mount Snowdon) within 5 minutes from our door. The cottage was clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and had a well appointed kitchen (which was perfect since both the tea room and the local pub were closed for food service due to staffing issues). Highly recommended for person wanting a quiet community with beautiful views.

Perfect getaway
The property was spotless and very warm. Although the garden eas listed as being a little treacherous it was very interesting and glorious views when you climbed to the top. Would definitely recommend and we will be back as great base for the surrounding villages.

Wet weather but loads of interesting places to visit
.Very well equipped, well presented and extremely clean. All kitchen appliance worked extremely well. Kitchen was quite cold. Few problems, the only heating in the bathroom was a heated towel rail but it wasn’t working. The back door to the garden leaked and formed a small flood in the kitchen, the mat was sodden. So we had to mop the floor several times. The bath was quite big with an integrated shower, there was no hand rail and no bath mat. This was a safety hazard. These points were raised with the representive but no action was taken. The electric shower was a little weak but adequate.

Quiet and spotless
Check in was easy and property was spotlessly clean. Do head warnings about access to small garden as into easy at all. Whereas we were given a few web addresses, a more personal touch with suggestions for walks and local hints and tips would not have gone a miss.

Lovely cottage and location
Lovely, clean cottage which is very handy for an excellent pub and lots of walks on the hills from your door step. We were unfortunate with the weather at the beginning of the week and appreciated having the log burner which made the cottage very cosy. The scenery is breathtaking all round and the walking we did more than made up for rainy fays.

It was a great place to stay and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Although we were out most of the time it was a nice place to relax when we came home in the evening. I'd have to say the only drawback (and granted, there were warning signs about it) were the very steep steps leading up to the top of the garden - I felt they were in need of a more substantial hand rail. All in all though a very lovely little cottage in a lovely village and beautiful surroundings - and an excellent stay - Highly recommended.
