Now here’s a cottages that truly boasts an away-from-it-all feel. The Laundry is found in the Ffin y Parc estate so it’s surrounded by 14 acres of its own grounds. It includes parklands and a Victorian kitchen garden, great for exploring. The former coach house has been carefully restored and was featured by The Observer newspaper as one of the best places to stay in North Wales for outdoor adventures. Not far away is Ffin y Parc country house which is home to a gallery and coffee shop, a perfect place to visit on a rainy day. When the sun does shine it is just two miles away from the alpine village of Betws-y-Coed, and closer still is Tree Top Adventure, a high ropes course set in natural woodlands in the Conwy Valley.

The world is your oyster from here. It’s less then 30 minutes’ drive to many of Snowdonia’s highest mountains and the same to the wonderful coastline, which includes the resort of Llandudno and the walled town of Conwy with its spectacular riverside castle.
