This house was so comfortable! Wish we could have stayed longer. Right on the main road into Beddgelert - so easy access to pubs and shops. But also quiet and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the patio for breakfast and dinner and even just to relax - the river is beautiful and we loved seeing the cows across the way coming down to drink. The kitchen was well-equipped - we cooked breakfast every morning and several dinners during our 5 night stay. Street parking out front was easy (and free). Would definitely stay here again!

One of the most wonderful places I've stayed in. Took my Mum for a mini break. The cottage was perfect for us. Very comfortable and cosy, and had everything we needed to make the stay just right. The location was stunning! The river was so relaxing and we even saw a cormorant that stayed in the same position for a full day. Thank you, I hope to return maybe with my Mum again or my husband.

Tranquil base to explore Eryri.

Had a lovely late September stay. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed for our little family break away to explore Eryri. Parking outside the cottage was never an issue and with the heart of the village just a few minutes walk down the road, the location next to the gently flowing river Colwyn was tranquil. Thank you Lynn for being a great host.

Beautiful cottage in perfect location

We had a fantastic stay at Rhiwlas. The cottage was immaculately presented and thoughtfully equipped, and the location on the banks of the River Colwyn is stunning - lovely to sit out on the terrace for breakfast or an evening drink. Lynn is an excellent host and has clearly thought of every last detail. We look forward to retuning next year.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful village

Simple but well appointed, clean cottage perfect for a family of 4. The river behind the property was a lovely feature and a 5 minute walk into the village for the shop, coffee shop or ice cream. Great location to explore snowdon or lots of the surrounding Moel’s, abergaslyn falls is a lovely walk.

Great Location

Rhiwlas is small but perfectly formed. It has everything you need especially in the kitchen and the biscuits and milk left for us was very welcoming. We had a little trouble with the shower but Lynn had it sorted within the hour. Impressive! The location on the banks of the river is lovely and the easy walking distance into Bedd Gelert is great. We always managed to find a parking space outside. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beddgelert cottage

Beddgelert is the prettiest village in north Wales, and this property is beautifully located along one of the rivers. We were very pleased with the rental, and Beddgelert made a perfect base for hill walking. Several hikes started out our front door. The electric charging for our rental car was also conveniently located <1 mile up the road. Highly recommended.
