Ochr Y Foel

Wonderful Location:

An exceptional location for this beautifully restored, detached stone cottage with outstanding views over Llyn Crafnant in this most scenic part of Eryri National Park – Snowdonia​

The cottage, one of a pair, whose land extends to the lakeside.  It is approached along a narrow lane from the village of Trefriw. It is not serviced by public transport. It sits as a pair of cottages in its own 6 acre grounds that are accessed by a private drive.  The grounds are enclosed and landscaped with garden furniture. There is excellent walking/rambling from the door. The owners live next door.​

Betws Y Coed is 6 miles away and the most wonderful dog friendly beach at Conwy Morfa is a 25 minute drive.
The landscaped gardens are not really suitable for toddlers, sorry.
