Description
Welcome to Garreg Ddu, a beautifully refurbished mid-terrace stone cottage set in the heart of Blaenau Ffestiniog, part of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales—an historic slate-mining town surrounded by the breathtaking Snowdonia National Park. This charming property offers the ideal base for couples, friends, or small families seeking adventure, tranquillity, and the very best of North Wales’ natural beauty.
Garreg Ddu blends its rich heritage with modern touches, featuring exposed stonework, inglenook fireplaces, original slate floors. The spacious living area invites you to unwind after a day of exploring, complete with comfortable seating and a wood-burning stove. The dining space is perfect for both cosy dinners and relaxed family breakfasts. A modern, fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need, while the ground-floor shower room features a double walk-in drencher shower, basin, and toilet for added convenience.
Upstairs, you’ll find two elegant bedrooms: a serene master with a king-size bed and views over the rooftops toward the rugged mountain scenery, and a second bedroom with a comfortable double bed. A handy upstairs cloakroom with toilet and wash basin completes the layout.
Outside, the cottage enjoys a sunny frontage with a charming enclosed patio, complete with garden furniture—perfect for relaxing in the afternoon or evening sun.
Just across the road is Cellb, a boutique 50-seat cinema housed in a historic police station and courthouse. A short stroll brings you to the town centre. The renowned Ffestiniog–Porthmadog Steam Railway is less than a 10-minute walk away, while thrill-seekers can enjoy ZipWorld Titan, Zip Caverns, and Bounce Below nearby.
Mountain bikers are spoilt for choice too, with Antur Stiniog just 5 minutes away, and the famous Coed-y-Brenin and Betws-y-Coed trails within a 30-minute drive. Further afield, the coastal towns of Harlech and Criccieth—with their medieval castles and sandy beaches—and the enchanting Italianate village of Portmeirion are all within easy reach. Nearby towns to Blaenau Ffestiniog within about 30 minutes include the coastal town of Porthmadog, historic Harlech and Beddgelert, offering Welsh culture, beaches, castles, and railway attractions in scenic Snowdonia.

From the moment we arrived, We was struck by how spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped the property was. Every detail felt carefully considered, making it easy to relax and feel at home.

From the moment we set foot in the door we felt at home, the cottage is so welcoming and very comfortable. A great deal of thought has gone into providing excellent accommodation with everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay, including a welcome pack for us and treats etc for our dog. The beds are very comfortable and all aspects of the property are clean and well maintained. The owner is most helpful and considerate. It’s an excellent base for exploring the Snowdonia area. We would definitely recommend this lovely cottage to everyone we know.

The cottage is so cosy, very clean and has everything you need and so much more. All the furnishings are good quality and the cottage is very well equipped and spotless clean. The beds are very comfortable , the linen so soft. The central heating is very responsive, it heats the full cottage very quickly. The location is stunning and quiet, a very good starting point for your adventure in Snowdonia. The host is very attentive, providing you with everything you need during your stay and lots of information about the surrounding area. It was a great holiday for us, we truly enjoyed our stay and we would certainly come back.

Thank you for a lovely short break. |
