Glan-y-Rhyd is a charming traditional single storey two hundred year old holiday cottage that provides accommodation for up to four guests in two bedrooms. The cottage is in a breathtaking position overlooking the sparkling clear water of the river Conwy in the heart of the Conwy valley. Located in the Snowdonia National Park within North Wales, this delightful stone holiday cottage is available for holiday rental and ideal for couples, friends or families.

The cottage is in an enviable peaceful position, on the edge of the popular village of Betws-y-Coed, well known as great place for outdoor activities and a good base from which to explore the many attractions that the Snowdonia National Park has to offer. The village also offers pubs, restaurants and shops.

Glan-y-Rhyd Cottage has recently been sympathetically restored to provide modern conveniences, whilst retaining authentic and traditional charm. The cottage has been tastefully furnished and provides a great place for a romantic break and some peace and solitude. However, with two double bedrooms (at opposite ends of the property), it can comfortably accommodate up to four guest's. Glan-y-Rhyd translates to 'on the shore', which reflects the stunning views from all of the main rooms that overlook the river and beyond down the valley to the mountain.

Betws-y-Coed sits in the heart of the Conwy Valley and is a pretty village and a very popular tourist destination due to its many attractions.

There is also a well known 'pool' at front of the cottage which tends to hold salmon and sea trout (depending on time of year). Guest's are able to enjoy its use along with some other spectacular river fishing in the area (including a private secluded lake, with boat, offering wild brown trout) - all subject to availability and advanced booking - please speak to the owner re charges and details.
