About this cottage rental

Nestled in the heart of the incredible Snowdonia National Park, this sophisticated character cottage is a hidden gem you will want to return to time and time again. Bron Elan is a luxurious and fantastic retreat from which you can easily explore this diverse and stunning part of North Wales.

Downstairs you will find a welcoming spacious living room, complete with wood burning stove and a package of logs to get you started. Perfect for kicking back and relaxing on the sofas after a long day of adventuring.
There is a TV, DVD player, a variety of books and games, and even a record player - so don't forget your favourite vinyls!

The generous kitchen and dining area is recently redecorated and classic in style. it is excellently equipped, with a full range oven, slow cooker, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and toaster, plus all the kitchenware you'll need for your favourite breakfast. With a selection of cookbooks, you can get your creative juices flowing, or, if you're not up to cooking, the local pizza joint, Hanging Pizza in Betws-y-Coed, is not to be missed and only a 10 minute drive away.

Off the dining area there is also a light and airy conservatory area, with cane furniture to offer an additional living space.

Upstairs, there is a spacious landing, and 3 beautifully dressed bedrooms, one king-size, one double and one single, complete with ample storage space. The modern bathroom boasts a quality traditional style suite of bath with shower over, basin and close-coupled WC.

The garden, nicely hidden down a little path, is largely fenced and makes a great space for relaxing, with a chimenea to give a little atmosphere and bring some warmth to cooler evenings.


Locally, there is a staggering amount to choose from when planning what to see and do. The village of Dolwyddelan has a very well stocked local spar shop, 2 pubs all within walking distance, a train station and it's own castle! More local amenities are available at Betws-y-Coed.

Whether you love hiking, mountain biking and outdoor activities, or exploring the stunning coastline there is sure to be something for everyone.
Mount Snowdon is less than 20miles distant and the surrounding area offers plenty of walking routes and beautiful lakes amongst the mountains just waiting to be discovered. For some family fun, head a few miles down the road to Zip World for a day of adventure in the treetops!

Criccieth Beach, Harlech Beach and Black Rock Sands are all roughly 40 minutes away, and with Anglesey just the other side of the mountain, you'll be spoilt for choice.


Nearby, the larger towns of Portmeirion, Porthmadog, and Llandudno are all within a 40 minute drive.

Bron Elan is happy to welcome up to 2 dogs, but please ensure that they stay on the ground floor of the cottage.
Please note there is a stairgate available at the property should it be needed.

This cottage is in a great location for exploring north wales. Straight out of door into forestry walks. Well equipped kitchen. Overall rating lowered due to a couple of negatives. Was promised an initial set of wood/kindling on arrival but this was not provided nor were dishwasher tablets. The bedrooms are small but fine for a weekend. Overall the cleanliness could’ve been better, there was a lot of dust and cobwebs in the bedrooms and the lamp in the smallest room was broken. A shame as the cottage itself is quite pleasant.

Snug cottage in good location. Clean and well equipped. Very well furnished. Pub and spar nearby. Parking opposite. Very small garden that’s not attached to the cottage but overall great place. Very close to snowdonia tourist spots. Perfect for quiet get away. Bedding that’s fits large bed.

We loved staying here. The cottage was well-appointed, homely with lots of 'a real person has lived here before' touches, and in a great rural location for excellent walking and exploring, yet somehow also with a useful train line with only a 4h45m travel time to London. There were 5 adults for some of the time so we road tested the kitchen equipment and found it very able to cater for us all. It's an old building, so expect those quirks with old style doors and steep stairs - it's warm and cosy, but you need to stay on top of managing wet things inside (we used the conservatory for this purpose.) We'd all visit again and made friendship memories that will last a long time :) Communication over chat was clear, prompt and easy. Thanks so much! Submitted comments directly on chat RE small maintenance points.

Lovely stay, the cottage was clean and well equipped. The location was perfect, nice and close to lots of walks and attractions, a Spar shop just up the road to grab quick provisions. The beds were very comfy and we had everything we needed. Parking was easy.

Cottage was nicely decorated and warm in a good location for our trip. Decent selection of cooking equipment. There is a reasonably well stocked spar shop close by. You need to undo the chain on the parking space everytime so unless you have a passenger you will need to get out the car to unlock it. The parking space is not overly big so our car did stick out a bit. There could have been more instructions in the welcome pack about how to work the TV.

The cottage was OK, but pictures gave the impression that there was more space. Good cooking facilities and comfortable beds. But it would have been more reassuring if under the beds and around the staircase had been dusted. Also we could only find one tea towel and that is hard when the expectation is that we would clean everything up. The position was very good for us and we loved our couple of days here.
