Escape the hustle and bustle of city life with a stay at Laurel, a charming, single-storey courtyard cottage nestled in the heart of North Wales. Set on the edge of the Bodnant Estate and surrounded by working farms, this former stone stable has been beautifully converted to offer a light-filled interior with modern décor and cozy furnishings. Whether you're seeking adventure in the mountains, exploring historic castles, enjoying the sand and surf, or simply indulging in lazy mornings, relaxing swims, and unwinding in the hot tub with stunning views of the Conwy Valley, Laurel provides the perfect setting for both relaxation and exploration. It’s an ideal base for discovering the iconic landscapes of North Wales.
Laurel comfortably sleeps four people in two bedrooms and features an open-plan layout that’s perfect for couples or families, including those traveling with dogs. For larger groups, it can be booked alongside Fig Tree, which sleeps five, making it a fantastic option for families or friends looking to holiday together while still enjoying their own space.
Walking and mountain biking are fantastic ways to enjoy the scale and the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Having Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park on the doorstep means that you'll never run out of places to explore, with excellent mountain bike trails just a few miles away in Gwydir Forest. Explore subterranean worlds at Zip World Llechwedd; or scare yourself silly on the fastest and longest zip wire in Europe at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry and on the highest giant swing at Zip World Betws-y-Coed.
You don't have to be an adrenaline junkie to enjoy yourself when you stay at Laurel. There are many attractions where you can slow down and relish spending time in such a beautiful location. Take a tour of Gwinllan Conwy Vineyard, tackle Conwy Valley Maze, wander around the house and gardens at Gwydir Castle, and take your binoculars and a picnic to the RSPB Conwy Nature Reserve. National Trust Bodnant Gardens are three miles from the cottage, while Conwy Water Gardens are only a few miles further. The Welsh Mountain Zoo and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Conwy Castle are all within easy reach for a day out, as is scenic Llandudno with its Victorian seafront and pier.
Laurel is a picture-perfect dog-friendly cottage with abundant charm and everything you need to spend an indulgent and restorative self-catering holiday in the country.
Fig Tree and Laurel are available for bookings all year round. Short breaks (minimum of two nights) are available outside of peak season, depending on availability.
