Gwynedd - Snowdonia holiday cottage

A magnificent stone built farmhouse located in an idyllic riverside position, and only 5 minutes walk from the centre of Betws-y-Coed with amenities such as shops, pubs and restaurants. Dating back to the 13th Century, the farmhouse was once used as a mill and the old mill wheel still sits on the side of the house next to the bubbling millstream. There are 3 bedrooms: 2 x double (one with ensuite shower, basin & WC), 1 x twin. Bathroom with corner bath with shower over, basin & WC. Large kitchen/diner with slate floor and exposed beams. Large beamed sitting room with feature open inglenook fireplace. The house exudes character with beams, dressed stone walls and mullion windows. Outside is a field and watermeadow leading to River Llugwy. This is an idyllic spot for a restful holiday! Little wonder that the renowned artist David Cox, painted the house many times. The owner lives in a separate part of the building and will personally welcome visitors. About the area: Llanrwst 5 miles; Blaenau Ffestiniog 11 miles away.
