Notes to the rental rates

  • The rental rates include electricity, our very efficient oil central heating and bed linen, but not towels. Many other self catering properties require you to use a meter card or £ coins for electricity which is a nuisance. There is a Sherpa Bus stop on the road at the entrance to the cottage.

There is NO bedroom on the ground floor. The bedrooms are reached by a turned staircase with banisters on one side and solid wall on the other. Most of the doors/doorways are wood contrasted against cream walls, apart from both bathrooms and the twin bedroom. The showers are over the baths, and the baths have grab handles. All light switches are at shoulder height and plugs are at a height of 30cm from the floor (except in the kitchen where they are at countertop level). The TVs, video and DVD all have remote controls. There is a payphone in the entrance hall. Orange mobile network works well in Beddgelert, but the signal is very poor inside the cottage. The patio garden is outside the front door.

Snowdon paths

The cottage is situated approximately three miles from the Watkin Path and the Rhyd Ddu path up Snowdon. There are many beautiful walks straight out from the cottage, without getting in your car, and numerous others within a short driving distance. Beddgelert forest just north of the village offers pleasant woodland walks and here starts one of the finest forest trails in the whole of Snowdonia, finishing on Snowdon itself. There are numerous climbs throughout the area around Snowdon and the adjacent passes ranging from 'easy' to 'exceptionally severe'. It was in this region that Sir John Hunt's team practiced for their successful ascent of Everest in 1953. The whole of this beautiful region of North Wales is open to the motorist who can drive along largely empty roads through magnificent mountain passes, visiting many of the attractive villages or journey to the sea only a few miles away and travel along miles of unspoilt coastline.

Beddgelert Village

The drive from Capel Curig to Beddgelert is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in the world. Beddgelert is a very picturesque village, where the rivers Colwyn and Glaslyn meet. There is an ancient arched bridge in the centre of the village, and many listed old buildings. Beddgelert has won many village in bloom contests over the last ten years including the coveted 'Entente Florale - European Prettiest Village in Bloom'. The area is particularly rich for those interested in flora and fauna. The nimble footed Feral goat can sometimes be seen on the higher slopes, the older males impressive with magnificent horns and shaggy coats. The pine marten, polecat, badger, otter and fox are also to be found. Birds include buzzards, kestrels, ravens, choughs and ring ouzels amongst many others.

Snowdonia

Is-y-Graig has been described by the Wales Tourist Board assessor as an ideal holiday cottage. The cottage has many charming features, including 2 foot thick painted stone walls, beamed ceilings and stable doors. The 845 square miles of Snowdonia cover an area similar to that of the ancient realm of Gwynedd who in the 13th century was powerful enough to be called Prince of Wales. Further west lies the Llyn Peninsula, the earliest inhabited part of Wales, where there is much evidence of prehistoric man. There are also many remains of early Christian churches. Castles abound along the coast and inland, notably at Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech. Two unique railway systems, the steam operated rack and pinion railway to the top of Snowdon and the narrow gauge Ffestiniog line, offer pleasant alternatives to walking. The steam train from Beddgelert to Caernarfon is now operating to Rhud Du and will be open through to Beddgelert and Porthmadog soon
