The details

Tucked away amid the trees of spectacular Gwydyr Forest, this beautifully restored stone cottage offers a wonderfully secluded escape with a log-fired hot tub overlooking the mountains of Eryri. Spend your days exploring forest trails and dramatic mountain landscapes before sinking into the warm water and admiring the views towards the Yr Wyddfa mountain range. When darkness falls, gather around the fire pit and gaze up at the stars in the magnificent skies of an International Dark Sky Reserve.

Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, the cottage is a fantastic choice for families or groups of friends looking to switch off in the Welsh countryside. Traditional stone walls and a cosy fireplace give the interior plenty of character, while modern comforts ensure you can settle in and feel at home from the moment you arrive. After muddy walks and big days in the mountains, there’s little better than warming up by the fire and planning tomorrow’s adventures.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare hearty breakfasts before heading out for the day or leisurely evening meals when you return. There’s a dishwasher to take care of the washing up and a dining table where everyone can gather together. With two bathrooms, laundry facilities, heating and WiFi also provided, the cottage has all the practical touches required for a comfortable stay.

Outside, you’ll find plenty of reasons to linger. Fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco in the private garden, or pour yourself a drink and settle beside the fire pit as the evening draws in. The log-fired hot tub is the real highlight, offering a memorable spot for long, lazy soaks surrounded by woodland scenery and fabulous mountain views. With very little light pollution, evenings here can be particularly special as countless stars appear overhead.

Despite its peaceful forest setting, Coed Mawr is just one mile from Betws-y-Coed, putting shops, pubs and restaurants within easy reach. Miles of walking and mountain biking trails weave their way through Gwydyr Forest, while the wider landscapes of Eryri National Park offer endless opportunities for hiking, cycling and outdoor adventures. Head further afield to discover dramatic mountain passes, waterfalls, lakes and some of North Wales' most spectacular scenery.
