The cosy morning room with dining area and a good-sized kitchen that has a retro 1930’s style yet is fully equipped to cover all the requirements of a modern self-catering cottage.
There are two double bedrooms, one of which overlooks the river Colwyn and Moel Hebog. The bathroom has bath with shower, W.C and wash basin.

My friend, my small dog, and I had a lovely time at Rose Cottage. It was perfectly situated in the village, right in the heart of Snowdonia, with plenty of good pubs and village shops nearby. The house itself was comfortable, although we were a tad disappointed that the stoves were only electric. While we stayed warm enough in the two main rooms, the kitchen was freezing but sufficiently equipped, if a little worn in places! It was nice to have two double bedrooms with comfortable beds. The outside patio area is really pretty, looking straight out to the river. However, if you’re bringing dogs, there’s no way to stop them from going down to the river, which was running really quickly, and there's also nowhere for them to have a late-night wee!

Stunning locstion

I stayed here for 3 nights with my sister for our annual get together. We wish we had longer there. The seating area outside right next to the babbling river was simply joyous. We spent every morning and evening there. It’s in a great location right in the village and just a few minutes walk from lots of pubs and cafes and little independent shops, and there a lots of great walks for all abilities that start right in the heart of Beddgelllert.We will definitely be back to stay here.

Perfect stay

We couldn’t fault the cottage. Absolutely spotless and full of character. The weather wasn’t great so we didn’t get to enjoy the patio but was lovely looking at the river from the kitchen window. Beddgelert village itself is like something you see on a postcard, so picturesque with lovely little shops and coffee shops. We would love to return!

Great place for a Snowdon adventure

This cottage is amazing. Set on the banks of the river in the beautiful village of Beddgelert, this is a great place to stay for an adventure in the Snowdonia National Park. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The living room is relaxing and the kitchen has everything you need. You’re walking distance to pubs, restaurants and coffee shops as well as several hiking trails. When it’s time to rest you can sit in the garden next to the river and listen to the water and nature. Highly recommend it. We’ll be back for sure.

New Year's stay in Beddgelert

This is a lovely little cottage to stay in in Beddgelert. I stayed in in at as. New Year's break. Overall, the cottage was lovely with a cosy little lounge, a a small kitchen, dining area and two bedrooms with a bathroom. Only one small improvement - I would have preferred some central heating as the electric heaters provided did not heat the cottage to a high enough temperature. I'd thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone coming to Snowdonia though.

Excellent cottage to enjoy Snowdonia

Rose cottage was a charming and comfortable place from which we could experience the highlights of the region. Sitting by the river on the outdoor patio was an amazing way to wind down from the many hikes around Beddgelert. The cottage was well equipped and proved to be a superb location. The only downside for us was the flooring. We encourage Elaine to consider replacing the carpet throughout with flooring that could better enhance the cottage’s charm and to ensure tidiness. Elaine was an excellent hostess. We appreciated her responsiveness to our needs and would definitely return to the cottage and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region.

Perfect location in a lovely village

We had such a nice four-night stay in Rose Cottage. The beds were comfortable, the shower was nice and hot, and that back patio on the river was just a delight. We had initially worried about parking, but we were always able to get a spot right in front of the cottage. Despite its small size, we also had some nice meals right in the village, especially at the restaurant Hebog just steps away. There is plenty to do in the area as well, the Sherpa bus picks up right outside the cottage to shuttle you anywhere around Snowdonia. We walked to Gelert’s Grave, and enjoyed the Sygun Copper Mine nearby. We also walked up the Watkin Path, which is quite close, and buzzed around in our car to other villages in the area. You won’t be disappointed in Rose Cottage as a base of operations in Snowdonia, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Lovely picturesque cottage in a prime location - just wish it was better connected

Loved the village and the cottage was lovely. Very quaint and comfy beds. Pretty decoration. We cooked everyday, and other than trouble with the grill not getting very hot, we managed well and the kitchen was well equipped. Only complaint is the lack of wifi. Normally we would have been happy to be disconnected from the world (Beddgelert is a mobile black spot) but my friend has a daughter expecting a baby and having very weak internet (connected to next door and walls are thick) that kept disconnecting. This also meant there was no functioning TV - all apps complained of weak signal. (Nothing to do with weather which was glorious). Again, didn’t bother us but someone with kids might struggle on a rainy day. Think an investment in a local router would make all the difference. Especially for guests who might have to do a bit of work. Please note, this is not a big problem but needs to be noted as some people have commitments that require connectivity, but would recommend for those who want a break from the world. Very pretty indeed.

Lovely stay in snowdonia and cottage is well situated in Bedgellert. We loved the village Especially the excellent coffee in the coffee shop and the ice creams at the parlour were Divine.
