Cottage des Mineurs en Snowdonia

Welcome! We are excited to share our traditional end of terrace slate cottage, built in the 1800’s. This is a cosy base for exploring and relaxing in the historic slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog in the heart of Snowdonia. Overlooked by the stunning Moelwyn and Manod Mountain ranges, with lakes and waterfalls to explore from your door.

There are 3 bedrooms, which sleep 5. One double, one single and one bunk room. There is a large fitted wardrobe and space in the master bedroom for a travel cot.

There is a modern tiled shower room (with bath mat and baby bath for young children and infants) and a newly fully equipped fitted kitchen. The spacious dining room has a traditional Welsh dresser, which stores some books and games.

The house has central heating throughout, WiFi and smart TV.

There is front and side access. Towards the rear, the large old coal shed is now a gated shingle yard where muddy boots and bikes can be hosed down and stored securely. There are newly landscaped steps taking you to the garden, where there is a seating area.

There is a friendly pub down the road and good options for dining and takeaways nearby. We love the Oakeley Arms, which is a short drive or bus journey away. There is on the road parking outside.

The local area includes the famous Ffestiniog Railway, ZipWorld, the Lechwedd Slate Mines and a short drive takes you to historic Harlech Castle and beautiful Portmeiron. Both Mountains and Beaches are able to be explored from this perfect base. We'll be available to answer any questions while you stay at our place.
