Glan Lledr is a rural, traditional detached cottage that sits on the banks of the local river Lledr, in Dolwyddelan, not far from Betws-y-Coed. Being so close to the Lledr offers excellent river and woodland birdwatching as nature envelopes the property and wonderful surrounding area. Whilst rural and secluded, but far from isolated, the cottage is within easy reach of popular towns Llandudno or Conwy, or in the other direction, Capel Curig and the heart of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia).

Glan Lledr is simply a cosy little cottage with traditional features from its more residential heritage. It has the original stone work, exposed beams, fireplace and showcases a lot of its original character. There are two bedrooms, one double and one twin, and bathroom, all found on the first floor. Downstairs you will find a functional fitted galley kitchen, lounge with range fireplace and dining room overlooking the river. Outside, you will find a low stone wall which encapsulates the cottage garden, which has 400 yards of rover frontage, and outdoor furniture to take in the running waters whilst relaxing near the cottage. Fishing from the bank is permitted.

Facilities include washing machine, fridge-freezer, microwave, and WiFi. There is also the use of a payphone. Bed linen is provided, please bring your own towels. Please note TV reception at this cottage is dependent on broadband. There is a smart television with DVD player and a small selection of DVDs.

Known as the gateway to Snowdonia and the neighbouring towns and villages, Betws-y-Coed is a magical setting that has a distinctly Alpine feel enhanced by the dense Gwydyr Forest surrounding the area.

The village of Dolwyddelan, on the road midway between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Betws-y-Coed, is dwarfed by its mountainous surroundings, some of the wildest walking country in Snowdonia. Mighty Moel Siabod rears its head to the north, a sight even more stirring when viewed from the battlements of Dolwyddelan Castle.

The single-towered fortress, unlike the grand showpiece strongholds of Caernarfon and Conwy constructed by King Edward I to subdue the Welsh, is a castle built by the native Princes of Wales. It’s easy to see why Llywelyn the Great chose this strategic spot on a high ridge commanding the Lledr Valley for his early 13th-century stronghold. Strategy aside, he may also have been influenced by the simple fact that he felt at home here, for Dolwyddelan was his birthplace. These were turbulent times – later that century Edward took the castle and refortified it for his own purposes. Unlike other lonely, timeworn mountain strongholds, Dolwyddelan doesn’t look its age thanks to a restoration in the Victorian era.
