Accommodation
Description
Brand new for 2023, nestled along a historic street lined with 19th century stone fronted cottages, is Bwthyn Llechi. Aptly named with the English translation “Slate Cottage”, this mid terrace home is situated in the centre of the UNESCO world heritage slate mining town, Blaenau Ffestiniog. Known historically as the “slate capital of the world”, Blaenau Ffestiniog is in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, surrounded by rugged mountains, lakes and hiking and biking trails.
The cottage has recently been restored to showcase all the unique and beautiful features of a traditional Welsh Cottage. Once inside, you’ll be greeted by the open plan lounge and dining area. The original slate fireplace provides a magnificent focal point for the room, around which you can cosy up and enjoy the peace and quiet. Here you can curl up on the sofa with the fire on, pull out the smart TV, and plan your next adventure. Whether it’s Zip World, walking/cycling in the Snowdonia National Park, exploring the many castles and seaside towns nearby, or catching the old steam train to the harbour town of Porthmadog, taking you on a stunning journey through Snowdonia, there’s something for everyone!
The cottage provides all the amenities and luxury you require. The kitchen comes fully equipped with all the modern comforts including Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, washing machine, oven, fridge, freezer, and ceramic farmhouse sink. Beyond that, the ground floor bathroom includes a shower over a p-shaped bath, WC and basin.
When the evening draws to a close, climb upstairs to discover two beautifully presented double bedrooms, featuring an exposed stone wall, comfortable beds and luxurious linens, as well as a third bunk bedroom, which can sleep both adults and children. In the morning, savour a steaming cup of coffee in the enclosed courtyard to catch the first glimpse of sunshine. So, grab your coat from the custom designed Snowdonia coat rack, tie up your laces, and look forward to your next adventure!
Please note, parking on the road itself can be tricky, however there is a lit, free car park less than 3 minutes’ walk away. The cottage has steep stairs with an extra step onto the landing and internal step down to the kitchen. Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome at Bwthyn Llechi.
**Please be aware the fireplace is decorative only and not currently in use

Gorgeous interior. Very comfortable beds with luxury bedding. Homeley, warm and cosy feeling instantly. The open plan lounge diner was perfect for a romantic night in, with just the lamp and TV on and some nibbles. TV pulls out and rotates so can be see more
Gorgeous interior. Very comfortable beds with luxury bedding. Homeley, warm and cosy feeling instantly. The open plan lounge diner was perfect for a romantic night in, with just the lamp and TV on and some nibbles. TV pulls out and rotates so can be watched from anywhere in that room. Great kitchen layout (lots of work top space) with appliances inc washer/dryer, toaster, microwave etc. Bathroom didn't bother us being downstairs and loved having a bubble bath. Very quiet location, we managed to park outside the property but have read reviews where others sometimes struggled, we didn't struggle any day out of 6 nights we stayed. Very accessible to all places we wanted to visit.
Unfortunately our dog sadly passed away before the holiday, I'm sure he would have loved it and the dog biscuits in the welcome hamper. |

Include more than 1 set of towels per person (understand these can be washed and dried, but the washing and drying function took around 4-5hours all together so very long and we didn't want to leave it unattended so ended up waiting around for that tsee more
Include more than 1 set of towels per person (understand these can be washed and dried, but the washing and drying function took around 4-5hours all together so very long and we didn't want to leave it unattended so ended up waiting around for that to end)
More washing powder / pods provided (maybe 3 or 4 instead of 1) we left some we bought for the next person. More cleaning products, to clean the kitchen and bathroom, we had to buy our own as 2 or 3 old bottles under the sink someone must have left behind, with only 2/3 squirts in each. Spray for the kitchen sides, another washing up liquid as this was nearly empty when we arrived, another sponge or 2 for the sink. Bin bags and tin foil (we bought our own) and maybe 2 more tea towels please. |

Although parking is possible it is limited and the neighbours insist they have priority. So better to promote the long stay free carpark by the church.

A beautiful home in a great location. Definitely recommend and would stay again ☺️ Also if you do stay, Portmeirion is a short drive away and makes a great day out

Stunning little cottage. Really nice of the hosts to provide some welcoming goodies in the basket. Nice location with lots of walks.
The parking was fine in the end. We just parked in the car park 3mins walk away for most of the trip, but could unsee more

The parking was fine in the end. We just parked in the car park 3mins walk away for most of the trip, but could unload and load up the car at the start and the end of the trip no problem. Really clean and tidy inside the property. Nice beds and newly refurbished. |

The bins were not clear in the welcome pack, there did not appear to be any bins for black sack waste.
Also, I messaged about having the cat poo cleared out from the patio area, and this was not done... We just had to avoid the patio area for 4 dasee more
