Relax in nature at this unique Snowdonia home
This ancient, stone-built cottage offers a luxurious getaway in the heart of North Wales, minutes from Snowdonia, Conwy and Llandudno.
The cottage has been lovingly renovated to a very high standard, and features a peaceful, nature-filled garden with far-reaching views.
You don't want to miss out on the huge two-person soaking tub, perfect to relax in after a day's hiking.
This is our home away from home that we want to share while we travel, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
The space
The cottage is hundreds of years old, and as such is a cosy, characterful space. The cottage is warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and is filled with art, colour, comfortable furniture and interesting objects.
We both love to walk, and after a day up in the mountains, nothing is better than a soak in the two-person round, stone bathtub in the "post-apocalyptic chique" bathroom, or sitting on the Japanese cedarwood stool under the pouring rainfall shower. The bathrooms have heated floors; one slate, one copper - we hope you like our twist on traditional Welsh materials.
After a soak, it's time for dinner. Take your pick from al fresco in the garden under the apple tree, sometimes with a roaring fire in the firepit, or dine at the hardwood peninsula in the fully-featured kitchen, on tractor seat (from actual tractors) stools. They have the seal of approval from my 86 year old grandfather, so it goes without saying that they're comfortable.
Once you've dined, it's relaxation time - let the dishwasher deal with the hard stuff, and either kick back in the living room in front of the enamelled barge stove and TV, or relax in the summer-house in the garden, watching the sun set over the mountains, while sheep and birds serenade you.
Finally, it's time for bed. Upstairs, the two bedrooms each offer space for two - the master has a king-sized antique bed (antique, as it is in part 17th c. and in part 19th c., but has very 21st c. comfort!), 1920's gentlemen's wardrobe, and views to the mountains, and the second bedroom has two 1930's twin beds, and a 1930's wardrobe. Don't forget the aeroplane, I'm told. There's an aeroplane. Hanging from the ceiling. In the master bedroom. I hope you like it. I do.
Guest access
You will have full and exclusive access to the entire cottage and garden.
There is parking directly in front of the property on a private, gravelled driveway.
Other things to note
Please do be aware that as this is an old cottage, some of the ceiling are low - I (Max) am 6'2" (188cm) and am comfortable there, but do have to duck in one or two spots! If you are over 6'4" (193cm) you might find the kitchen ceiling low!
We do also have an open staircase, so if staying with children please bear this in mind.

Lovely, cosy rural property. We particularly liked the eclectic decor and homely feeling of this cottage. The garden was an added bonus, with spectacular views. All the facilities were excellent.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Apple Tree Cottage. It’s a really lovely little cottage, small but perfectly formed and really thoughtfully kitted out by the owners. Quirky decor all adds to the charm. Two great bathrooms, loved the huge bath and the rainfall shower, comfy beds, great living space. A lovely private garden full of nature tops it off.
We had a fantastic stay. Maxwell was fantastic at communicating with us. The cottage was better than advertised in the listing. We would stay again if Maxwell will have us.
