Such a charming and cozy home! The house is equipped with everything you might need. The location is perfect for exploring the area with beautiful hikes and sites in every direction. We were so happy each night to come back from a long day of touring to those comfortable beds! Would love to return and stay longer.

Beautiful cottage with views in a great location. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including the basics that aren’t always provided on such trips i.e. washing up liquid, tea towels and all kitchen utensils you could need. Milk and delicious Welsh cakes for our arrival was also a nice touch. Comms with host was also great. Would 100% recommend for short or longer breaks and would love to stay again in the future!

Perfect cottage in a great location

Wern house had everything we needed for a very comfortable visit. The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is large and well equipped and the lounge is great to relax in after a day out. The location is great, there are so many places to visit nearby. Jane and Laurence are excellent hosts.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location at the foot of Snowdonia National Park. Within 15 minutes you can be at the nearest beach or setting off on hikes in the mountains — the best of both worlds! Even a day trip to Liverpool is easy. We loved our stay and would happily come back.

Dear Andreas, thank you for the great review we were so glad you enjoyed your stay. The cottage is indeed in a great location being within the Snowdonia National Park but also close to the beautiful town of Conwy and the fabulous coastline. As you say, the best of both worlds. We’d love for you to visit us again if you are ever planning a trip in the future. Best wishes, Jane & Laurence

Wern Cottage is ideally situated for exploring North Wales. It has everything you could possibly need and more. We enjoyed the views, the many birds, the red squirrels and the lambs. The cottage is highly recommended, when we travel to Wales again, we will definitely book Wern Cottage again.

Great second stay

This is a great property for touring the North Wales area. Very comfortable cottage with all the amenities you might need to give that home from home feel. This is our second stay at Wern cottage and it did not disappoint. It is clean, comfortable and a very peaceful stay. I’m sure we will return again in the future. Thanks Jane and Lawerence for a super stay.

Fabulous place to stay

We fell I love with this cottage when we walked through the door . It’s was clean and well equipped with everything you would need. A wonderful peaceful setting with the hills around you. Lots to do in the surrounding area and a great village pub just down the road from the cottage.

Adorable Cottage

This cottage has everything! Plus it’s tucked on a hillside with rushing brook nearby. Very relaxing and well equipped. Very near many of the great sights and places to see in northwest Wales. The Italian restaurant 5 mins away as wonderful food and excellent service.

We had an excellent stay at Wern Cottage, so cosy and very well equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay. The owners Jane and Lawrence kept us informed as to how to find the property as well as delivering on thoughtful personal touches to make our stay special. The cottage was just as we expected and in a great position for seeing the sights of Conwy and surrounding towns. Would definitely stay there again.

Super clean cozy cottage. Nice outdoor garden. Just down the street is a pub with friendly staff and good food (super accommodating for gluten and dairy allergies). Nice location for visiting sites. Also good walking paths, took one that led to an old cemetery.

Exceptional stay!

We had the most amazing stay! The property was so cosy and a real home from home. Little touches like chocolates, fresh flowers in the rooms and milk in the fridge were much appreciated! The location could not have been more perfect. Spectacular walks, views, beach and pub all from the cottage. And so much more to explore in surrounding area too. Just perfect!! 10/10!!

Lovely cottage in the Welsh Mountains

Diolch! Thank you for your lovely review. The stream provides a very calming sound all year round although its course to the sea is well below where the cottage stands, so no danger of wet feet! We always aim to keep the bird feeders topped up and our friendly squirrel is still a frequent visitor. Best wishes. Jane & Laurence
