This lovely terraced cottage, built in the 1800s at the confluence of the Glaslyn and Colwyn Rivers, affords a sumptuous base camp in Beddgelert village with a Japanese tub to soak in after an invigorating walk.

A wonderful stay. Great location close to 3 pubs, a bistro serving amazing food, village shop and ice cream parlour. Beddgelert is truly a beautiful village with a river and surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. Snowdon walks are only 15 minutes drive. The cottage is lovely. Very well equipped, great shower and bath and comfy beds. I would highly recommend. We will definitely return!

Beddgelert is a good, central location for the Snowdonia park area and the main towns, both coastal and inland, and the village is clean and tidy. The cottage is modern internally, and decently furnished. The kitchen has good, modern facilities. The two bathrooms are also very modern. The bedrooms are of reasonable size with minimal storage, although the beds were comfortable. The downside was control of the heating which is done remotely and, due to the inclement weather and stone flooring downstairs, took quite a while to provide an adequate temperature, and shut down after two hours. Perhaps the heating control situation could be better explained in all the instructions.

The presence of a 'For Sale' sign at the front could be the reason for the state of the rear, small open area which contained three large wheelie bins, a small table and some chairs. Moss covered the walls of this enclosure, and its wooden gate [allowing the user to take the bins to the street] is clinging on due to a failed hinge . In addition, the kitchen window and patio doors to this area require a thorough clean, as do the table and chairs. The recycling wheelie bin was full when we arrived and requires replacing with the newer, small bins and trolley that several other properties around this one do have. At the front of the property is a double seat with small table top in the middle. This could do with being refurbished and treated with some Danish oil.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and were lucky to find a parking space outside the cottage each evening. The village has a decent level of pubs/restaurants and a well-stocked shop.



A great short break

Booking was very easy and customer service and communication was great.
We enjoyed a lovely short break. There was milk in the fridge and a few food items for our arrival. Kitchen is well equipped and the cottage had everything we needed. A great base for exploring Snowdonia.
Thank You!

Everything very good except for heating arrangements. Guests need to be in control of heating during the stay. Was very cold and could not control the heating.

Very comfortable accommodation. From the cottage there are interesting local walks by the river and it’s a short walk to good pubs/restaurants and food shop. Makes an excellent base for exploring Snowdonia.



Very nice

Positives: lovely, airy, quiet cottage. Felt modern and updated inside but with historic features. Well equipped. Starter pack of dishcloth, washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing machine tabs provided. Good shower. Great location in Beddgelert - walking distance to centre of village, good bus route nearby (buses every hour) and walks from the doorstep. On road parking always available within 100 yards.

Negatives: towels not included (contrary to cottage.com website) buy rectified before we arrived. Hot water was tepid and not rectified during our stay so not able to use the bath (owner tried and slight improvement but still only marginally warm. Plumber never arrived despite promise). Face, hand, pan washing not warm enough so needed to boil a kettle. Shower could have done with a squeedgy as had to use a towel to wipe and there was black mould in it. Logs provided for fire would not burn despite all efforts so had to buy our own.

All in all, would definitely stay again as we loved it especially if the water is warmer next time.



Great location for our Wales Adventure!

The cottage was in a perfect location. It enabled us to venture out every day and explore new things and new places around Snowdonia. We climbed Snowdon one day, visited the beach on another, went to zipworld and visited a local copper mine. All these places were maximum an hour away but most were on our doorstep. Due to the perfect location, parking close to the cottage was limited and was on a first come first serve basis outside the cottage (for both sides of the street) so we made sure we came home around 4ish most days.

There were plenty of places to visit within walking distance from the front door of the cottage. Including a historic story about a faithful dog who was killed by his master in a tragic accident. His grave and statue were just a short walk away. The village has a few pubs (which we made use of!) which served food (not late into the evening so make sure you head out to town early around 6/7ish). There was a little shop (which had the post office) and had lots of things that we needed but if you wanted a “bigger” shop head to Porthmadog which was only 10-15 mins away by car. Also in the village was a train station (We didn’t use it) but believe it ran from Porthmadog - Beddgelert - Caernarfon.

A local Copper Mine was just up the road. Was a self guided tour and lasted about 40 mins. Kids enjoyed going in the underground caves. Just up the road is a beautiful scenic area called “Watkins Path”. About a mile up this route are some beautiful clear waterfall pools that you can take a dip into. The water is super clear and a refreshing experience on a hot day.

The cottage had a fully equipped kitchen and we made some lovely meals for our family of four (We brought our “Hello Fresh” box with us and also bought some supplies from Tesco’s at Porthmadog). There was a Japanese style bath (which I loved but had mixed thoughts from the family!) There was also a shower. The kids shared a room with two single beds but they also had a sink and toilet.

Heating was controlled by a nest device which you weren’t able to override. So the heating came on in the morning (although not early) for a few hours and again in the evening (I’m not sure what times) but we were able to control the radiators if we felt too hot. There was also a log burner (with some wood and newspapers) if you felt the chill in the evening. We did the first couple of nights before we realised we could turn the radiators up. But from reading comments online - I believe you could speak with the people that ran the cottage if you wanted the times adjusted (say earlier or later).

Overall we had a great break - We made lots of memories with our kids and will definitely return!!! 5 stars ⭐️




Lovely long weekend

Perfect cottage to stay in Beddgelert. Very comfortable including the double bed. The kitchen fully equipped for our needs. Couldn’t fault anything apart from there being no guest book which is always useful to see where other guests had visited or which restaurants they had eaten at. Would definitely stay at Quarryman’s cottage again.

We have visited Beddgelert on many occasions and have enjoyed the location so many times we keep coming back. The is time we booked the quarryman’s cottage based on its location, website images and it is dog friendly. The cottage is small, well looked after and snug. It provided exactly what was advertised and we have no complaints at all. Would recommend this to anyone.



A really nice place to stay.

We stayed 4 weeks and didn't find any reason to be unhappy about. During our stay it was the hottest weeks of the year and upstairs it was hot (logical). Partly because of the hot water installation. Downstairs it was really nice and cold. Parking was mostly within 20m of the property but it is a small street with a fair amount of traffic. We didn't have any issues with my large ford galaxy but for people with fancy cars this could be a small item. A small issue was easily straightened by squiky clean the cleaning firm so kudos for them . We stayed with 4 people and could have used a bigger cooking pot for boiling spaghetti. The large store is about 15 minutes away and the small lokal store is packed with most stuff to help U out. There are five very nice places to eat all in walking distance. All in all a very nice place to stay in a very historical village. Really nice base to start from for long walks.

We had a good time at the cottage, very convenient place in village , 200 metres walk.
It was inconvenient having to bring towels with us from New Zealand and think this needs addressing as UK has no restrictions now and we didnt do this elsewhere .
There is an outside area to sit at the front, but not really at the back of the cottage. This would have been nice.
I cannot thank Lee at STS enough for his help and would recommend using STS.
Very prompt service , answered any questions immediately.
We had a lovely week there . A nice little cottage in beautiful Beddgelert.



Fab week in Beddgelert
