About this property

Traditional stone built cottage with fantastic view of lake and mountains

Cwm Deiliog is an idyllic detached 200 year old cottage situated on a leafy hillside overlooking Lake Padarn and the mountains of Snowdonia. Log/coal fire, dining/sitting room, 3 bedrooms sleeping 4/5 all with heaters, kitchen with fridge freezer, microwave, electric cooker and bathroom with bath and shower. Pretty garden and terrace with that wonderful view and garden furniture. Lots of interesting things to visit in the locality. The cottage is not on the road but 100m downhill via a concreted track (uphill on the way back!) A private parking space at the side of the quiet country road.
I do not accept dogs, so please do not ask!

Amazing experience

A beautiful little cottage with wonderful views. Many happy memories sitting by the open fire. Lovely to read about the family history of the building too. We WILL be returning!

Nice, quiet cottage.

Good place to stay if you want to walk and explore snowdonia. House is well equipped. There's a meter that takes pounds for electricity, we spend a few pounds a day.

Amazing views, roaring fire, cosy cottage

We spent a very memorable few days at this little cottage in Fachwen over the lake from Llanberis. The views of the mountains constantly change as the weather roles in. It’s like stepping back in time with the roaring fire in the huge hearth, board games and plenty to read. We loved it!

Unique cottage with stunning views

Comfortable cottage in secluded location - with stunning views of Snowdon. The owner warns about the walk to / from the house and visitors will certainly have a cardio workout before getting to their cars - but we got used to it and it's a price worth paying for the fabulous location. Canaerfon, Llanberis and the mountains are all quite easily accessible.

Location perfect, wonderful views of Llanberis

Cottage was very charming and had most things that we needed. The coin operated electricity meter was a bit frustrating, the power cut out at least once every day. The walk to the car park is not far but the hill is VERY steep which makes it quite an effort to unload and pack car.

Accessibility

Property was okay, although dated and tired.The access to the property was extremely difficult. No vehicular access to even drop off luggage. We weren't aware that the 100m was a VERY steep incline. Parking was also very tight.The cottage views were stunning overlooking Lake Padern and Mount Snowden

Cosy with Amazing view of the lake and Snowdon

My husband and I just got back from a lovely 4 night stay. The cottage is very homely, the open fire was very appreciated in the evenings when the temperature dropped and waking up to the view of the lake and Snowdon was amazing, the best view of everywhere we visited! We were prepared for the cold, and took pound coins for the electric, we made use of the kitchen which was very well equipped and happy to say the water got nice and hot for a bath. The location is good with some nice walks nearby or visiting North Wales. Brace yourself for the walk up/down the drive - the view is worth it! A very special place, thank you Rosie

We absolutely loved our stay; if we could give it six stars for location and view we would have! The cottage itself is exactly as listed with everything we needed and a lovely, cosy living room with fireplace and wonderful views.As described in the listing there is a short, relatively steep walk down to the cottage from the road which adds to a wonderful sense of peace and isolation.The garden is well kept and very pretty; a great place for a BBQ after a long day hiking.Communication was prompt and helpful.

Tuck away in the heart and soul of North Wales

Cottage was absolutely gorgeous. It is rustic and fitted our family’s needs to explore the North Wales countryside. Very comfortable. This place is unique and memorable.If you like to relax and breathe in the fresh air while watching the pristine countryside and visiting birds - this is the place for you. Love the Welsh folks - kind and friendly. All my favorite accommodation worldwide have been uniquely “different.” This is one that I add to my list.

The perfect secluded hideaway

We wanted somewhere quiet, secluded and far away from reality, this hit the spot perfectly! We weren't far from Llanberis where we had some great food and went on a beautiful walk to the castle. The cottage was well equipped and gave us the chance to feel properly nestled in the mountain. We used our time their to celebrate my partners birthday, and begin art projects we've been preparing for. We met a couple of others in Fachwen and they were so lovely and helpful! Make sure you take your pound coins, I'd say in the winter, to keep warm we needed around 15 worth at most, but we did have a decent fire on one of the days! We're hoping to come back in the spring or summer to experience it in full bloom!

Wonderful location, but....

Magnificent views from the cottage and a very beautiful location. But the cottage itself could use an upgrade. The furniture is outdated and definitely not suitable for tall people. The bathroom is also a bit of a struggle with showering in the bath where the shower head was far below my shoulders. The toilet too does not offer a lot of space. Otherwise, everything you need is there. Just make sure you have new pounds with you for the electricity. You can park the car in a private car park just fine, then start a challenging road downhill. It's a pretty steep slope and especially uphill you'll need to put your fitness to good use. However, you do get a beautiful view in return with lots of birds and squirrels in the garden. These seem tame and almost eat out of your hand (including the robin). Communication with Rosalie was fine and everything was as indicated. In short, had a great stay, although it does struggle for tall people (I am almost 2 metres tall).

Great location but.....

Tremendous area and views from the cottage. Well kept garden surrounding the property, reallyspecial. But as you enter the place you have a stale not aired smell which didn't disappear on opening windows etc. The armchairs and house textiles needed cleaning for a fresher smell. The freezer wasn't particularly clean. The place is equipped with everything you need, the beds are comfortable but softly sprung. There are no towels or sheets provided and you pay for your electricity plus the descent from the parking to the house is about 120 yards but quite steep. Communication with the host was late and only via SMS. I think with more attention to cleanliness, this place is a gem!

Leuke cottage maar neem wel losse ponden mee

We hebben drie nachten in deze cottage doorgebracht. De voorzieningen (bedden, douche, keukeninventaris, luie stoelen) zijn goed. Het uitzicht op Mount Snowdon en het meer van Llanberis is fenomenaal. Je parkeert bovenaan de weg bij de steen met de naam van de cottage. Na de parkeerplaats gaat er een betonnen weggetje steil naar beneden. Dit leg je te voet af ongeveer 100 meter met je bagage. Je kunt niet bij het huisje parkeren en je kunt op het pad niet keren! Neem voor de elektra voldoende losse nieuwe 1 pond munten mee, gaat best snel best als je zelf kookt.

Hidden treasure

We had a wonderful stay in this quaint little cottage. Even our grumpy teen who doesn’t like anyone or anything thoroughly enjoyed her stay and wants to return. The most beautiful views of Snowdon from the living room window. Homely little fire burning and keeping us all cosy. Just idyllic. My son also found Rosalie’s bird poem book and as a parrot owning family he had a good chuckle reading them. 100% we will be back.

Outstanding views, make sure you are fit to walk up and down to the cottage. Small lanes getting to the cottage, nervous drivers be aware. Totally worth it, such amazing views, cottage is 200 years old, so don't expect mod cons, felt good to be off grid. So relaxing.

Peace of mind, that's what the cottage gave us. We had beautiful weather, and enjoyed the garden. Unfortunately I broke my wrist up on nantle ridge. But we were well treated in the hospital in Bangor. Beautiful climb, by the way.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was discovered by my mother and renovated by my father who was a master builder, and has been maintained by me since my parents' death. My mother thought of it as her dream.

What makes this property unique

Probably the best view from any holiday cottage, with lots of charm from the traditional 200 year old stone built cottage
