We stayed at the cottage for a long weekend break. Booking couldn't have been easier and our hosts were really friendly and helpful. The cottage itself was clean and inviting with great views from all rooms. It was really comfy and warm and a great base for walking.

Just amazing!!!

Didn’t know what to expect, first time in Wales as a family with two young kids, we wanted to work for everyone and everything we wanted to do, not only we were located in Trefriw (amazing village) but the cottage was just a “home away from home”. Perfectly located, super comfortable with everything I would want from home, all for a perfect price!! Definitely will return to the cottage

Wonderful Week in Trefriw

Old Rectory Cottage is situated in a beautiful, peaceful location but close enough to Llanrwst and Betws y Coed for groceries, shopping and food options. Llanberis and the Snowdon Mountain Railway is only 35 minutes and one of the most beautiful drives you will ever experience. Hosts Rachael and Mike have done an incredible job with this property. 3 large, spacious bedrooms each with a wonderful view. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to self cater and there is also a charcoal grill available outdoors. They also went the extra mile by decorating for my wife’s birthday. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the deck enjoying the view and tranquility, the private garden and summer house. We loved our time here and cannot recommend highly enough.

access

Access to the property could be very dificult for a person with restricted mobility. I may have missed this in the covering information, but I saw no reference to this. One of our party had a real problem getting from the road up to the front door.

Thanks very much for choosing to stay at our cottage and for leaving it lovely and clean. We list the number of steps leading up to the property in the amenities section. It's probably best if you check with the property owner for steps in advance of any future bookings. Best wishes Rachael and Mike

Excellent Cottage

The cottage was beautiful, with lovely views in a very friendly village, only 5 minutes easy walk to the fairy falls. There are 2 pubs very close both serving food , The Fairy Falls Hotel is Indian food, very nice. The Old Ship Inn does pub grub and real ales. Both were excellent for food .The cottage was spotless when we arrived and there was a lovely welcome pack. A lovely little sitting out area with tables and chairs again with the lovely views. A bonus a lovely summer house if you want a little piece and quiet or quiet drink. The kitchen was very well equipped and the bedrooms were big with very comfortable beds. I would highly recommend this cottage,(just a note there are 6 steps up to the cottage and no other way in) not a problem to us. All in all a beautiful cottage , we loved it and had a fantastic stay.

Clean and comfortable cottage in a picturesque and convenient location

Despite the wet and windy weather, we had a lovely holiday in North-Wales. The cottage was pretty, spacious, clean and comfortable, and it had everything we needed. The welcome pack with Welsh goodies left by Rachael and Mike made us feel welcome from the start. The view from the top of the hill is beautiful and Trefriw is conveniently located to do lots of sightseeing. We could not believe how impressive the Fairy Falls waterfall was - less than a one minute stroll from the cottage. The characterful Old Ship Inn had a good menu, fine food and a cosy atmosphere. If you'd like to eat at Chandler's Brasserie it is best to book beforehand as they were fully booked during our stay. To fellow travellers, we can recommend the Cwm Idwal walk which is spectacular. The Great Orme Tramway Funicular and a cream tea at The Lemon Tree (with Alice in Wonderland theme) in Llandudno are well worth a visit. Beddgelert is so quaint and picturesque, not to be missed. Portmeirion with its vibrant colours, impressive architecture and woodland walk is a lovely experience. And Betws-y-Coed is only a short drive from Trefriw and good for some shopping on rainy days, offering a few eateries and beautiful falls walks as well. We can definitely recommend a stay at The Rectory Cottage in Trefriw.
