“Great little cottage, very well placed for visiting numerous attractions in the area.”

Everything was comfortable and it has the all important (for Wales) washing machine and tumble dryer. We were able to leave our second car parked in the driveway and take advantage of the free 4pm to 10am parking opposite for our other car.

“We had a great stay.”

Perfect location close to Antur Stiniog with everything that we needed. The only issue was the tight driveway access so we couldn’t get the van parked, so that could perhaps be made clearer in the description.

- Mark, June 2024

Hi Mark Glad you enjoyed your stay. We've had a transit van down the driveway before but if your van is bigger then it could be a challenge. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Property Owner

“Well placed cottage for touring N Wales - Anglesey, Snowdonia, Betws y Coed, Port Meirion.”

Ffestiniog railway 2 minutes walk. Morrisons Daily, Co-op and takeaway all within 5 minutes walk. Spotlessly clean, small but beautifully formed. Everything needed for your stay - well equipped kitchen inc cafetiere. Full sized fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Nicely and newly decorated, powerful shower!! Packet of welsh cakes and milk on arrival. Locking and opening the front door requires some effort as you need to pull quite hard on handle to enable you to turn the key - definitely a 2 handed operation. The back door leads out onto a set of steep steps up to sitting area which gets the afternoon sun. Agility is the key word for both dogs and humans! For dog owners be aware the front and back areas are not secure but plenty of walking opportunities within locality. Easy to miss cottage on initial drive by as it is set back down a concealed, narrow entry way behind trees. As you enter the road the cottages are behind you to your left - look out for the bright white frontage. You will need to drive in front wise and then reverse back out (about 30 yards). The owners have done a great job of providing a really homely, snug, well maintained cottage. All we needed was a bit more sun!! But, the mountains were spectacular whatever the weather ..............

- Jennifer, June 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay, glad you noticed the new bright white frontage and sorry that the weather wasn't the best. We plan to replace the front door during the winter maintenance period. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay.”

The cottage was very comfortable. It was well equipped we found everything we needed except we couldn’t find a tin opener but we managed without one. Unfortunately we found Ffestiniog very quiet with not a lot of things to do especially for children. The weather was miserable which didn’t help. I enjoyed the train trip to Porthmadog.

- Lynn, May 2024

Hi Glad you enjoyed your stay, not sure what has happened with tin opener but have arranged for it to be replaced. Sorry about the weather it has been an "interesting" summer. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
David March 2024

“Carys, don't change a thing, everything was perfect .”

Lovely comfortable beds, a cosy living room, everything you could possibly need and lovely and clean. Thank you for the pint of milk and the welsh cakes, very much appreciated. Great central location in the village and for exploring Snowdonia. Would thoroughly recommend.

- David, March 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay we look forward to hosting you again. Property Owner
Leanne March 2024

“A really warm,modern, well equipped cottage that was the perfect bolt hole after exploring North Wales.”

All the activities we had booked were within 50 mins drive, Anglesey, Harlech, Betws Y Coed, Zip Forest, Caernarfon Castle…. The town itself is a little bleak but two good shops within walking distance and we had lovely take aways (pizza, fish & chips, Indian). The pint of milk and Welsh cakes were much appreciated ❤️

- Leanne, March 2024

Glad you enjoyed your break and we look forward to hosting you again. Property Owner

“Super cosy, very clean and very good equipped cottage.”

Close to the shops, pubs and many fantastic trails. Definitely recommend.

Lorraine August 2023

“Comfortable and cosy cottage, well equipped and a good base to visit lots of other tourists attractions.”

The little sun lounge terrace at back of property is a little difficult to access, specially when steps are wet. Our dog had difficulty getting up them and it didn't get the sun in the evening . It would be nice if the front of the property was tidied up a bit. The front of the house could do with a lick of paint and maybe a trellis in front of wheely bins and a few low maintenance plant pots. The sun is at the front in the evening, so it would make it more pleasant to sit outside.

- Lorraine, August 2023

Thanks glad you enjoyed your stay, the front of the property is due a refresh as we only took over the property less than a year ago, not sure we can change the aspect of the sun and the terrace but will incorporate your views in any changes. Look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

“I have never stayed in a cottage before that was so well equipped.”

Very comfortable and amazing convenient for shop , train and bus. Very quiet location. Grandchildren well satisfied

- Jennifer, July 2023

Deborah July 2023

“We loved this little terraced cottage!”

All the facilities we could ever need, with some little extras such as milk and welsh cakes. A comprehensive range of information and a perfect location right in the centre of Blaenau. We had a lovely time, despite the weather, thank you. Hubby struggled to work out how to use the TV remotes but worked it out eventually - maybe some instruction on how to access Sky would be helpful to future holiday makers. There were books, dvds, and games available for use too. Loved that there was a little supermarket just across the road - and people really should try the Kurdish Pasties from the bakery a little further up. A great central location for many sites of interest. We particularly enjoyed Betws-y-coed and Beddgelert. Such pretty villages!!

- Deborah, July 2023

Glad you enjoyed your stay despite the weather. Thanks for the suggestion on the TV remotes we'll do that when we next visit. Yes the Kurdish bakery is an unexpected gem of a place. Property Owner
Maggie June 2023

“Very clean and tidy property.”

Property in the middle of town and handy for shops. Car can be parked in front of property but extra long vehicles need a bit of shunting. Loved Wales, with highlights being Snowdon and surrounding area, Portmeirion, Anglesey and Betws y coed. Just a brilliant few days

- Maggie, June 2023

Glad you enjoyed your stay, it was originally built as a quarryman/miners cottage so not originally designed for car parking but agree extra long vehicles do need to take extra care when parking up. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Gin May 2023

“Cosy cottage nestling in the heart of Blaenau, better than the pictures show.”

There's a lovely courtyard area out front for sitting with flowers and bees and birdsong, and the terrace at the back is truly special. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, the only small minus was the water pressure which made showering a little unpredictable. Overall I had a lovely stay and glorious weather, enabling me to go out and explore the fascinating area, walk in the mountains, and rest in the cool shade of the cottage. Loved it! thank you.

- Gin, May 2023

Glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Kate May 2023

“The cottage was very clean and comfortable.”

The heating was efficient and kept upstairs warm although the living room stayed quite cold (just the nature of the thick walls and being against the hillside). It wasn’t really an issue though as we had the option to light the fire which would have cosied the room up more. Beds were very comfortable. Good shower. Kitchen well equipped. Would have been good to have had full use of wardrobe/ cupboard in front single bedroom but half of it was locked so not quite enough storage. Front door was quite difficult to lock from inside and parking slightly tricky but ok once we got used to it. Sykes responded quickly when we had a problem with the smoke alarm and the housekeeper kindly came out straight away to see if she could help. The location is great for getting around. Recommend the steam train to Porth Madog, the slate cavern tour at zip world, Beddgelert village including copper mine tour, Portmeirion, Harlech Castle and of course Mount Snowdon which was the main reason for our stay. Also lots of interesting walks around Blaenau itself and the Fish and chip shop was good. Overall a good stay and would recommend this cottage.

- Kate, May 2023

Glad you enjoyed the stay and apologies for the fault with smoke alarm, it is now rectified Property Owner

The property

A well-appointed double fronted mid terrace cottage, located in the centre of the historic slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.

Providing the perfect base for exploring the wild and rugged landscapes and stunning scenery of North Wales, Bridgeway House is ideal for a couple, friends, or family, keen walkers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

This lovely 19th century slate workers cottage offers a modern and fresh interior, tastefully furnished, and decorated throughout whilst still retaining character and charm.

Decorated in neutral colours and soft warming greys, the sitting room hosts plush seating and a woodburning stove which creates a homely atmosphere where guests can relax after a busy day walking and exploring.

Discover the intimate dining area, a great spot to relish a feast, served up by the designated chef, and crack open a bottle of bubbly.

Ascend the stairs to uncover three individually styled bedrooms, a double and two singles, as well as a family bathroom where you can indulge a long soak.

To the exterior, make use of the private decked area by basking in the rugged mountainous views on a summer evening.

From your doorstep, discover a range of shops, restaurants, pubs and even a cinema, as well as some fantastic walks with great access to Snowdonia; Blaenau Ffestiniog is also home to a host of adrenaline-fuelled activities at Llechwedd Slate Caverns, Zip World Titan (the largest zip zone in Europe), Zip World Caverns and Bounce Below (deep mine zip wires and the largest underground system of trampolines in the world!).

A vast array of mountain bike tracks and trails are peppered across the landscape, or if you’re seeking something a little less energetic, the well-known Ffestiniog narrow gauge steam railway is guaranteed to be loved by all.

A little further afield, why not visit the Italian village and gardens of Portmeirion for an afternoon of escapism.

Ideally placed and providing a great base for a holiday or short break anytime of the year, visit Bridgeway House.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
