“Bodalaw is a lovely cottage, very comfortable and clean with everything you need.”

The shop is very close and the pub is just at the top of the hill. The only downside is parking. There is a parking area, but it was often full and we had to find somewhere else to park. However, it wasn't really much of a problem. The area is beautiful and fairly peaceful.

“A lovely cottage, very clean and had everything we wanted including microwave slowcooker and airfryer.”

Washing machine was a bonus, as spilt milk all over my jeans. Beds were comfortable with extra bedding, Heat could be useful although we did not use it, The little shop seemed to stock everything and they were very helpful and pleasant. There was not a desagnated carpooling spot we parking e eryday in the little row of car spaces 15mt from the house. If there was one down side which no one can fix is the stairs could be a little steep for someone with mobility problems. We had a lovely holiday Tracie and Steve hepl with the little problem we had. we would recommend this cottage to our friends and would stay again. Penny and Dave

“Very comfortable little cottage in the middle of the village.”

The village shop was only 3 doors away and a pub serving good meals further up the hill. Beautiful views all round and it was ideally located for exploring further afield.

- Jean, April 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay. There is so much to explore in the surrounding area. kind Regards Tracie & Steve Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay.”

The cottage has everything you need. It is charming, cosy and clean. Trawsfynydd is an old miner’s village with shop and pup in walking distance from the cottage.

“Lovely little cottage situated in a typical North Wales village, surrounded by stunning scenery.”

Very clean and homely with pretty much everything needed for a comfortable getaway. Even the stormy weather didn't bother us, cozy and warm in our little haven. A credit to the owners

Linda September 2023

“We had a great stay in this lovely traditional cottage.”

It was clean and comfortable with some nice little extras which made it feel very homely. The shop is nearly next door and the pub a very short walk. The pub served good meals which were reasonably priced. It is based in a great area making it easy to explore North or Mid Wales.

- Linda, September 2023
Dave September 2023

“A great holiday property in a less touristy location.”

Well maintained and very comfortable. Great pub just a short distance up the road. The holiday cottage is well placed as a base for some epic walks, all within a short drive. Very pleased with the cottage and facilities as well as the location. Five stars!!

“Nice location in a quiet village.”

Nice cosy cottage. Local amenities are good. However I would be very of the local pub. Dreadful customer service. Got served chicken when a veg curry was ordered. We were also overcharged. Good facilities in the cottage. However the china and cutlery needed a wash prior to use do that could be better. There is a strong damp fishy smell in the property which hits you as soon as the door is opened. This is extremely off putting and due to this I will not recommend this place. The owners have been informed. Thoughtfully and considerably furnished with various facilities but lacked shower gel which is provided in most self catering establishments. The second bedroom has no window so is pretty claustrophobic. Overall a decent stay of 3 nights.

- Nita, August 2023

Sorry to hear you were not totally happy with your stay. All cutlery and crockery has now been replaced. As for the damp smell, it transpires that the people who stayed prior to your stay had stored wet and muddy moutain bikes inside the property which is not allowed. This has now been cleaned and aired. Property Owner

“Lovely cottage with everything the family needs for the stay.”

A gorgeous village with good amenities and close to some fabulous walks and hikes. Local pub has a decent menu for big and little people, with big portion sizes. Clear instructions included for everything in the house. Would definitely book again!

The property

Resting in the village of Trawsfynydd, in the heart of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, is Bodalaw, an early 19th century, stone-built mid-terrace cottage.

Retaining much of its original character, including the stone inglenook fireplace and multi-fuel stove found in the sitting room, Bodalaw has a charming and homely atmosphere, while the rear patio garden is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the countryside and mountain views in the distance.

The home also has a well-equipped kitchen/diner to dine indoors on cooler days, also complete with a washing machine for convenience.

When sleep calls, a double bedroom and a single room are on offer, both serviced by a shower room.

Once you're ready to explore, the surrounding area is ideal for a quiet Trawsfynydd cottage break, or for lovers of the outdoors, there is excellent walking, golf and birdwatching available close by, and fishing on the Trawsfynydd Lake is very popular.

Spend time at one of the beautiful beaches nearby, including Porthmadog and Llandanwg Beach, or visit Portmeirion Italianate Village for a family-friendly day out, followed by a delicious bite to eat at the favoured Castell Deudraeth Brasserie.

At the end of the day, Bodalaw is a perfect place to return to and relax.
