The laburnum arch at Bodnant Garden is a spectacular
sight but it needn't be the only reason you visit, you could enjoy
so many other excellent walks, activities and great places to eat
too. These cottages close to the gardens might just tempt you to
book a North Wales break...
1. The
Old Barn, Bodnant
The name of this cottage says it all! A beautifully converted
barn in a peaceful location, a short stroll away from Bodnant
Garden itself. It has it's own pretty enclosed garden - just open
the French doors and step outside. There's even a sweet balcony
where you can soak up the idyllic surroundings from one of the
bedrooms. Why not order a Bodnant Click & Collect hamper to
enjoy the full holilday experience? Sleeps 6.
2. Llo Bach, Llangernyw
Llo Bach is a unique cottage on a working farm in the Welsh
countryside. The cottage is in a very rural location but not too
far from the village of Llangernyw which has an antiques
store, a village shop with a post office and two pubs; it's located
in the beautiful Elwy Valley close to where the River Cledwen joins
the River Elwy. From here, it is only 10 miles to the sandy beaches
at Conwy Morfa and Llandudno, and 10 miles to the Snowdonia
National Park. Sleeps 4.
3. Plas Madog Isa, Llanwrst
What a rare gem this house is! It's won architectural awards for
design and is a bright, cheery place to stay with a quirky retro
feel. Llanwrst is a great place to be and you have so much to do
right on your doorstep. A great house for those wanting to explore
Snowdonia - the best part is it's not too far from those beautiful
yellow arches, but in a different area so you get to explore more.
Sleeps 6.
4. Bodhyfryd, Sychant Pass Road
This charming traditional Welsh stone cottage lies in the heart
of an 18th century village. The setting for Bohyfryd is just
incredible: a lush green valley leads down to the sea and it's the
perfect place to stay if you want to recharge your batteries and
unwind. There's a pub within easy walking distance and the
neighbours are super friendly - you'll get a proper warm Welsh
welcome! Sleeps 7+1.
