Reviews

Fantastic location, very spacious, clean and comfortable cottage. Amazing views from the windows and outside seating area. Highly recommended.

Mrs L,

Superb location. Great to have everything you could need to cook and eat. A small and cosy 2 bedroom house very well equipped to look after you well. We had an awesome time even thought the weather was atrocious most of the time.

Mr M,

The cottage was excellent and is a great location for everything we wanted to do with our week away.

Mrs Sanchia P,

It was comfortable, we enjoyed our stay and we would book again

Mr Gareth M,

“The cottage was very well appointed and a joy to stay for a week. The location was perfect for touring Snowdonia and for local attractions. The fireplace added to our enjoyment after long days out. A very special find ans we would not hesitate to recommend.”

Clare M,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carreg Cottage. It was very comfortable and there was plenty of room for the 2 of us and our dog. Kitchen was very spacious and was well equipped and the utility room was really useful for storing bike and muddy shoes. We loved the location and felt like we were right in the heart of the park. Really nice views from the front garden which was perfect for our dog who is little and old so couldn’t get over the short walls. We will definitely look forward to coming here again next year.

Mrs Emma E,

Map

Capel Curig is a charming village set on the river Llugwy in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, at the junction of three beautiful valleys, making it the perfect base from which to head into the mountains. Even though Capel Curig is small it has an outdoor gear shop, and café, so whether you are walking, mountaineering, climbing or mountain biking you can make sure you have the correct kit! Capel Curig is a hub for outdoor activities and is surrounded by the dramatic mountainous terrain of Snowdonia. The village is served by the Sherpa bus network which gives great access to Snowdon itself and nearby villages such as Betws-y-Coed, Llanberis and Bethesda. Plas-y- Brenin, the National Sports Centre is located here, where you can join the many outdoor courses run throughout the year, visit the lively bar, which often has live music, or ski on the artificial ski slope.

A short stroll away down the road towards Betws-y-Coed is a good pub, the Bryn Tyrch, serving food, and a popular café, Siabod Café, serving homemade goodies and, my favourite, enormous scones! A mile or so further again is another popular pub the Tyn y Coed. About 6 miles away is the pretty village of Betws-y-Coed, known as the ‘Gateway to Snowdonia’ and another hub of outdoor activities, including beautiful walking along the river by cascading waterfalls and the Tree Top Adventure High Ropes Course. Mountain biking is also popular here with Gwydir Mawr and Bach trails running through the forests, and bike hire locally. Betws-y-Coed also has a good selection of shops, cafes, pubs and places to eat, it is home to the Snowdonia National Park Visitor Centre and has a miniature railway and riverside golf course.

Capel Curig is near the footpaths up Snowdon, 9 miles from Zip World Velocity zip wire at Bethesda, and 11 miles from Llanberis, with the train up Snowdon or along Padarn lake, and the National Slate Museum.

Carreg Cottage is in the centre of Capel Curig and is well equipped for outdoor enthusiasts, families and pets, with a large utility room for outdoor kit with a sink and washing machine, plus a cosy woodburning stove in the lounge.
