Overview
Property code: OC-SKN03

North Wales is full of places of historical interest and wild mountain treks to enjoy. The coast is gilded with old castles too, as well as traditional sea side towns with piers and promenades like Conwy and Llandudno. Mount Snowdon is the jewel in the crown, so why not take a climb or go to the summit by railway? Snowdon is the highest peak in Wales. A trip to Harlech and Portmeirion should also be on everybody’s agenda. Very local highlights include the slate mines of Blaenau Ffestiniog, the longest Zip Line in Europe and the fastest in the world and Bounce Below. Betws-y-Coed has a good range of eateries and pubs to try out of an evening. The cottage is also ideally located to take in many of the Little Trains of Wales including the Blaenau Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways.

When you step through the front door, you will find yourself in the kitchen area, a compact and practical space fully equipped with a four-ring electric hob and oven as well as a microwave. There is also a fridge-freezer located in the tall cupboard under the stairs and the dishwasher is behind the cupboard door to the left of the sink. You’ll find a washing machine behind one of the doors too. There is a dining table and chairs for all four guests. The living room is a wonderfully cosy room with a deep, ‘sink into’ sofa and two armchairs in front of the fireplace, complete with warming wood burner (initial supply of logs provided). A smart TV/DVD and Bluetooth/CD music player together with a good supply of traditional board games provide extra entertainment. Both bedrooms have double beds and countryside views. The first bedroom is on the right at the top of the stairs. It is slightly larger than the second bedroom and has a chest of drawers as well as a wardrobe. The second bedroom has storage for clothes too.  Please take care when entering some rooms as in this old worker’s cottage the door frames are lower than normal. The bathroom is to the left at the top of the stairs and has a shower over bath and WC.

Outdoors, the cottage has a small enclosed patio area with table and chairs for two and a wonderful view down the valley.

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.
