“Gorgeous cottage, perfect in every way.”

Beautifully appointed and immaculate. We loved sitting on the sofa looking out at the stunning view. We can’t wait to return.

“This was our third stay at this property and another happy one.”

Just the right size, clean, comfortable & peaceful. A great base for the Snowdon area and a short journey from the A55 and all the coastal resorts. The hosts are welcoming but leave you to get on with it. If you have any questions, they are always quick to respond. Whenever we are holidaying in this area, we check here first.

“Great place for peaceful break away from city.”

Close to many local attractions with view for Snowdon in the background! Local sheep kept our eyes occupied during breakfast time :) Accomodation is very well equipped, spotless clean and quite modern. The owners welcomed us warmly and checked on us during the stay, very nice people. We were happy with our 1 week stay and if would have a chance, will happily come back. Very much recommended. Thank you.

Vanessa October 2022

“We had a very happy week in North Wales, helped by a clean and comfortable stay in Afon Ros Bach.”

It had all the amenities one could wish for and was spotlessly clean upon our arrival. The welcome basket included tea, coffee, sugar and a delicious Bara Brith, the Welsh tea bread, plus milk in the fridge which was much appreciated. The only criticism we had was that the sofa wasn’t especially comfortable, but presumably most people won’t spend too much time sitting down whilst on holiday! Otherwise it was a very happy holiday indeed.

- Vanessa, October 2022

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are so glad that you had a happy stay at Afon Rhos Bach. Following your feedback, we would like to inform you that we have replaced the sofa with a far more comfortable recliner! Kind regards, Denis and Lorna Property Owner

- Kevin, July 2022
Elizabeth July 2022

“The accommodation was very clean, well equipped kitchen and comfortable for our week’s stay.”

Location was perfect for getting to all areas of North Wales and would recommend the local pub The Glyntwrog for food and drinks and within easy walking distance. The owners were very friendly and keen to ensure our stay was as good as possible. There was a welcome pack provided which was great, would have appreciated some hand soap and an extra toilet roll but that’s being very picky! Overall a great place and would highly recommend.

- Elizabeth, July 2022
Jeni June 2022

“This is a perfect bot hole for a couple.”

It is very modern and clean and has everything you could want. The views were lovely from the lounge too. I would say that as a disabled person with back issues I did not find the bed and sofa very comfortable but I have had worse,

- Jeni, June 2022
Carol June 2022

“The property was lovely and clean, the owners very very helpful, would definitely recommend this property.”

Just one thing, it would be helpful to have had a mirror other than the bathroom one, rather difficult drying hair, other than that, superb.

- Carol, June 2022
Iain May 2022

“What a lovely holiday cottage.”

Clean, comfortable, excellent facilities and everything you would need for a break away. Perfect location for Snowdon and the surrounding area

- Iain, May 2022
Janet May 2022

“Overall a beautiful, spotlessly clean cottage in a great location for exploring the area.”

The owners are lovely and available if any problems arise. The only (slight) negatives on a personal preference level for us were, the mattress was too firm and the sofa wasn’t very comfortable. An extra mirror, maybe in the hall or bedroom would be good too. All in all we had an excellent week and would have no hesitation recommending this cottage.

- Janet, May 2022
Roy March 2022

“Stayed Thursday to Sunday for a long weekend to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary.”

It lived up to all our expectations and was spotlessly clean. It was excellent value for money and the owners could not have been more helpful. Well placed for all the tourist sights, we went to Beaumaris and Criccieth, both well worth a visit. Overall highly recommended.

- Roy, March 2022
Laura November 2021

“This was a really fantastic holiday cottage.”

It exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have asked for a more welcoming or fantastic property to stay in. Will definitely be back.

- Laura, November 2021
Leslie October 2021

“Great apart from rain”

- Leslie, October 2021
David August 2021

“The accommodation was truly first class, the landlord gave us lots of information of places to visit via text, and was on hand if we had any problems.”

The accommodation was clean tidy and vey well equipped. The shower was awesome. The bed was very comfortable and at night time was very quiet, cant remember how long ago it was, when we slept this well.# Beautiful views and outside private space (for outdoor eating and drinking). Very much value for money and great for couples looking for that romantic break,

- David, August 2021
Paul July 2021

“Superb place to stay, village and pub within walking distance, fantastic roads ...”

Superb place to stay, village and pub within walking distance, fantastic roads to ride, and a host who secures our motorbike in the garage, highly recommended

- Paul, July 2021
Simon June 2021

“3rd July, 2021 Just had the most enjoyable week at Afon Rhos Bach, Llanrug.”

The holiday annex was really modern, clean and cosy: comfortable bed, lovely pillows & fabulous rain shower (towels were provided too) . The well equipped kitchen served us well as we cooked for ourselves all week. It's set in a peaceful location - yet easily accessed within minutes from main road - surrounded by fields with some sheep and cows and views of green hills and even the peak of Snowdon. A great location for walkers or for daytrippers to castles and pretty locations. The owners are really friendly & helpful and provided some extras to start our week: lovely Bara Brith (a cake), milk - a few tea bags, coffee, sugar in case we forgot - dishwasher tablets, washing powder etc.

- Simon, June 2021
Judith June 2021

“We’ve just had a lovely week at this property.”

Fantastic views from the lounge/ kitchen window with a large lawned area surrounding the cottage. Spotlessly clean and modern kitchen with everything we needed. Nice bathroom with good shower. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Llanrug is a good base for lots of local walks and other places to visit nearby. Good food at the Glyntwrog inn in the village. Would definitely recommend Afon Rhos Bach.

- Judith, June 2021
Peter June 2021

“Some suggestions about the local area of places to visit would be helpful.”

In otherplaces we have stayed in th UK a visitor book had suggestions especially of places to eat out which we did every night,always a must for us on holiday.none of these comments in anyway prevent us having a good stay.spotlessly clean and lovely owners.

About the location

LLANRUG

Llanberis 2 miles; Caernarfon 4 miles; Betws-y-Coed 15 miles.

Llanrug is a small village with two pubs, two shops, a Post Office, a hotel with indoor swimming pool and fitness room, and a 9 hole golf course is nearby. The village is situated in the foothills of the Eryri (Snowdonia) Mountain Range, only 3 miles from famous Llanberis. Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris, and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. Llanberis is something of a 'mecca' for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) - the highest mountain in Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdonia Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Llanberis boasts excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 4 miles from Llanrug, on the coast, is Caernarfon with its magnificent 13th century castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd and many wonderful beaches.
