Overview
Property code: OC-SKN03

Brimming with character, this home has two bedrooms that comfortably sleep four guests. The stunning town of Betws-y-Coed is just 8 miles away. Situated in a lovely and rural location, it’s not far from tourist attractions, mountains and the coast. Whether you prefer to hike spectacular mountains, cycle rolling countryside trails or enjoy a slower pace of life, this is the perfect place to visit.

Enter the property into a practical kitchen area with everything you need to cook and prepare an evening home-cooked meal for all the party, and a dining table with chairs for everyone to enjoy eating together. Take a seat in the sumptuous living room to watch a film or play a board game together before picking one of two bedrooms to get some shut-eye. Outside is a compact patio area with superb countryside views.

The base of Mount Snowdon is 18 miles away, where you will also be able to access other peaks in the range such as Glyder Fawr and Carnedd Llewelyn. You may choose to take the railway up to the top of Snowdon, but if you’re a keen walker there are a number of different routes to choose from. If you fancy staying closer to sea level, head to the traditional seaside town of Conwy (22 miles). Portmeirion (20 miles) is well worth a visit; it’s an enchanting Italian-style village on the coast. Betws-y-Coed (8 miles) has plenty of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops, as well as access to many walking routes running along the River Conwy. Take the stroll along the river to the cascading Swallow Falls, or get your adrenaline pumping at Zip World.

We had the most wonderful five-day stay at Tailors Cottage with our teenage son and our dog. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the breathtaking locationnestled on the edge of Eryri National Park, surrounded by rolling hills and absolute tranquillity. Its the perfect escape if youre looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. The cotRead moretage itself is full of old-world charm, yet thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen, in particular, is beautifully designed and well stocked, making it a pleasure to cook and spend time in. Youre just a short drive from Betws-y-Coed, which offers a great selection of pubs, restaurants, and independent shops. The coast is also within easy reach, giving you plenty of options for day trips. We visited primarily for biking, and it did not disappoint. There are endless opportunities, whether you prefer scenic rides through the national park or more challenging routes on dedicated MTB trailsthere really is something for everyone. What truly made our stay special, though, was the care and attention from the owners. They provided us with fantastic local recommendations and kept in touch throughout, ensuring everything was perfect. We wouldnt hesitate to return and are already looking forward to our next visit. A truly special place that we would highly recommend to anyone considering a stay. Hide

We really enjoyed a 4 night stay at Tailors Cottage which is situated in a very peaceful location with open views. It is cosy but as a couple we found the space more than adequate. Its a well presented traditional Welsh cottage that we would be more than happy to return to.

Cottage was lovely and definately had character although the pictures made it look bigger when in reality it was quite small and not really big enough for 4 adults. Lovely for 2 adults and a dog.

We enjoyed our stay, the cottage is well equipped and clean. Our only worry was the area for the dog behind the gate which he jumped over immediately even though hes quite small (11kgs). I would therefore not count on using it safely for the dog. The area is lovely and very convenient.
