Lovely spacious cottage
Lovely cottage which five of us used as a base for a weekend walking in Snowdonia. Great communication from host in advance and nice clean house with four bedrooms, two living rooms, a well equipped kitchen and garden overlooking fields. Some snacks out on arrival which were very welcome! Friendly White Horse pub literally 10m opposite (open Thursday to Saturday evenings and Sunday when we stayed in late September) which served nice food and they were happy to let us park in their car park. The cottage is in Capel Garmon, about 10 minutes drive outside Betws-y-coed up a steep and narrow road - not far from Zip World, where we did the Fforest Coaster on the way home.
