About this property

Bwthyn Llechi (Slate Cottage)

  • A beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd famous for its stunning mountain ranges and beautifully valleys. Bwthyn Llechi (Slate Cottage) welcomes up to six guests, ideal for families and friends looking for a peaceful getaway in a delightful rural location in Wales.

    Packed full of character and luxury throughout the traditional stone fronted Welsh cottage has been lovingly renovated whilst retaining its characterful features. With easy access to Snowdonia National Park for those with walking boots ready for an adventure in nature!

    On the ground floor you are welcomed into the lounge/diner with a gas fire, perfect for relaxing on the sofa after a long day exploring, with Wi-Fi and smart TV included during your stay. The cottage boasts a fully equipped kitchen with all modern comforts, Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, washing machine, oven, fridge, and freezer, along with a ground floor bathroom including a shower over bath, WC and basin.

    Upstairs you will find two double bedrooms, with a third bunk-bedroom. This home is ideally suited to up to four adults and two children.

    Outside there is an enclosed rear garden with patio and furniture where you can enjoy a morning coffee before setting off for the day.

    The old slate town of Blaenau Ffestiniog is home to a fantastic selection of shops, pubs and eateries and is within easy reach of Snowdonia National Park. There is a wealth of attractions and visitors can also enjoy a scenic ride on Ffestiniog mountain railway, which runs through Snowdonia National Park and up to the town of Porthmadog.

    Since the road was built before cars were invented, parking outside Bwthyn Llechi can be tricky! However, there is a lit, free carpark less than 3 minutes’ walk away.

    Please note the cottage has steep stairs with an extra step onto the landing and internal step down to the kitchen. Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome at Bwthyn Llechi.

Modernise cottage-

Modern, clean and welcome pack Although parking is possible it is limited and the neighbours insist they have priority. So better to promote the long stay free carpark by the church.

Had a lovely stay here. House was clean and tidy & nice and warm when we arrived too which was a lovely touch! Close distance to snowdon- We took the Rhyd Ddu path which was 30 mins away from here. Zip world is also a 5 min drive away too. Perfect location for everything. Thanks for having us!

Really nice cottage. New refurbished and nice location.

Stunning little cottage. Really nice of the hosts to provide some welcoming goodies in the basket. Nice location with lots of walks. The parking was fine in the end. We just parked in the car park 3mins walk away for most of the trip, but could unload and load up the car at the start and the end of the trip no problem. Really clean and tidy inside the property. Nice beds and newly refurbished. The bins were not clear in the welcome pack, there did not appear to be any bins for black sack waste. Also, I messaged about having the cat poo cleared out from the patio area, and this was not done... We just had to avoid the patio area for 4 days.

A nice house, but a terrible area and some issues

On arrival the house was lovely, very cosy, well decorated and furnished. However we soon had some major plumbing issues that unfortunately were never resolved. The bath plug got stuck in the plug hole meaning a bath full of dirty water that couldn't be drained, and so we couldn't use the bath/shower again. We contacted support and a lady did come out, but was unable to resolve the issue. She disappeared saying she was going to get a plumber and then we never saw or heard from her again. Luckily my husband eventually was able to remove the plug but we were then unable to use the bath for the rest of the trip, as the mechanism for raising/lowering the plug was broken, so we were unable to bathe our child. The bath/shower also leaks terribly so the bathroom floor was soaked after every use. The property is described as having a garden on the listing - it doesn't. it has an extremely small yard. This was disappointing as we had a dog with us so there was nowhere for her to roam. The area is also very disappointing. It's a dump, to put it kindly. The 'high street' is just full of empty decaying shops, There is a couple of convenience stores, a coffee shop and chippy, but it is not somewhere nice to explore or go for a walk, be prepared to drive to get to anywhere worth spending time. Also, the provision of some basics would be a nice touch, there was one binbag provided for a weeks stay, one toilet roll, not even any basics such as oil for cooking.
