Cottage in Betws-y-Coed
3 bedroom, 2 bathroom
Sleeps 6 - 8 People
£450 - £800 Per Week

Nant-yr-Haf is an old stone building that was the valley school until the early 1950's. Originally the building, which is some 120 years old, was one large school room with a fireplace (apparently where the teacher always stood in the cold winter months!) with a girls and boys cloakroom and small kitchen. The bathrooms were old longdrop affairs up in the stone sheds at the top of the playground. After the school closed the property was changed into a residence and has recently undergone extensive refurbishment.

Now Nant -yr -Haf is a three bedroom, 2 bathroom detached stone built rendered cottage, in a beautiful location, which has been renovated and restored to a very high standard. The property sits at the foot of Moel Siabod overlooking the Lledr Valley, which is incredibly quiet and peaceful and having no through road. The property is ideal for families or small groups wanting to enjoy the fresh air and stunning scenery, with peace and tranquility, and yet still offering high quality facilities and a luxury feel rarely found in holiday cottages. The ambience of the valley is timeless and unchanged, with no ambient lighting or noise making evening stargazing a real wonder.

The entire valley has a small but friendly local community with only a dozen or so occupied farms and houses; this is hill farming country with sheep and cattle grazing near the property. As there is no through-traffic the road is quiet and safe for walking, cycling and children's play. There are an infinite number of good walks, from a stroll up and down the valley lane to full mountaineering. Moel Siabod itself is a tough but rewarding climb, starting from Nant-yr Haf, up the forestry track and then across the high open moorland to the rocky peak.

The very recent conversion gives 3 fully appointed double/twin bedrooms with 2 bathrooms (1 en suite), open plan living and dining area and a modern well equipped marble-topped kitchen. The property is centrally heated and there is a wood-burning stove giving incredible warmth and cosiness in the evenings; a specially commissioned window occupies the whole front wall of the living room giving panoramic views of the valley. When the weather is fine, sitting outdoors watching the sun go down on the valley while enjoying a glass of wine is a pleasure we come back for year after year.

The property sits in its own walled garden with off road parking. The next property along the valley is a converted chapel (also owned by our family)
