Benar Cottages - Bwthyn Meillion

Couples and families of four will find Bwthyn Meillion works well as a base for active holidays in the Conwy hills. This single-storey cottage sits among three properties in a hillside location, with the Machno Valley visible from the windows and Gwydyr Forest directly accessible from the garden. Paths lead straight into woodland walks; mountain bikers have immediate access to the Penmachno trails, with the Marin route also nearby.

Inside, the open-plan living space combines sitting area, dining and kitchen in one room, with a woodburner for cooler evenings. Two bedrooms sleep four—one double and one with twin singles—served by a shower room. The kitchen has a gas cooker and full-sized appliances including a separate freezer in the utility room outside; laundry facilities are shared with the neighbouring cottages. Bed linen, towels, heating and wi-fi are all covered. There is parking for two cars on site and an enclosed courtyard with garden furniture.

The village pub and shop are within walking distance; Betws-y-Coed has a wider choice of restaurants nearby. Snowdon is 25 minutes away by car, and Blaenau Ffestiniog—with its slate-mining heritage and adventure attractions—is also accessible. Bodnant Gardens, Conwy castle and Llandudno are all within reasonable reach. No smoking throughout.
