We had a fantastic stay at Clogwyn Cottage. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you need. The check in is easy. There are fabulous views and walks from the doorstep. We would love to return.

A fantastic weekend spent at Clogwyn Cottage – perfectly situated for the Rhyd Ddu path up to the top of Snowdon (which we successfully made!) Would certainly recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Lovely, comfortable cottage on a working sheep farm in beautiful surroundings. Owners are friendly and very helpful with information about the area. Lovely walks from the doorstep or only a short drive away. A 15min stroll from the cottage door takes you to the Cwellyn Arms Pub ( lovely food, real ales and dog friendly). We loved our stay and will definitely return.

Lovely long weekend at this cottage. Wonderful location for my husband to do long-distance trail runs right from the door. Lucky to have lovely weather for early April so enjoyed the patio and its view. So quiet at night. Lovely evening full-moon walk to the superb Cwellyn Arms on a cross country gravel path. Would happily return. Slight shame another cottage is so close. Recommend slippers as floor is slightly cool.

Lovely cosy cottage ,furnished beautifully, well equipped kitchen Perfectly situated for exploring Snowdonia. We really enjoyed our few days here. Peaceful and quiet. Loving being so close to nature with access to great walks from the door.Thanks for the lovely welcome gifts.

We spent three nights on our way to Ireland, it wasn’t long enough! Lots to see and do in the area but watching the sun to down on Black Rock Sands was a highlight. The cottage is not only delightful, charming and well equipped but extremely comfortable and cosy. We cannot wait to come back.
Samantha Nolan
Wow; what a holiday – loved the cottage and its location. Peaceful (other than a lots of ‘chatty’ sheep) and the most spectacular views. We will most certainly be back.
If I had to be critical, it would have been nice to have a full length mirror, some hooks of the backs of doors to hang wet towels and sockets near a mirror (in the double bedroom). Also the backwards fitted tap in the kitchen throw me a little!!
Karen Jones
A wonderful cottage in an idyllic setting. The cottage had everything you would need and a nice touch with the coffee machine and complimentary coffee pods. The welcome pack and little gifts was very thoughtful. John and Jane were very friendly and had lots of ideas for places to visit. A very restful and relaxing holiday (apart from the walk to the summit of Snowdon) and I am sure we will be back in the future.
P Hayward
A complete gem, we had a superb time. Hosts couldn’t have been nicer, environment , location and cottage outstanding. Just what we needed!
Bev Thomas
Well presented cottage in convenient location. Had all necessary amenities and a lovely Welsh welcome gift package on arrival. Perfect weather made for the opportunity to enjoy the local surrounds and the Cwellyn Arms in Rhyd-Ddu. Altogether, made for a thoroughly enjoyable few days in Snowdonia. Thank you.
John Bentley
Fantastic setting on the quiet side of the mountain with great walking away from the masses. Easy walk to local pub for food and beer. No need to get in the car as all the walking is on your doorstep. Modern place with all mod-cons.
Louise
We just spent 4 nights at the cottage. It has everything you could possibly need from a coffee machine to a washing machine and everything in between. The cottage was lovely and warm and has a log burner too. Each room has a TV and WiFi is great, very important for kids with phones š¤£ the kids also loved exploring out the back. We all managed the walk to the local pub which didnāt take long and the food was lovely. This is a great base for exploring with so much to do, and we would go back for sure.
Tom McLaughlin
Lovely comfortable and snug cottage, well equipped for a short stay. Jane was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely return.
Jacqui Timberlake
We were delighted with our cottage, just perfect. Cosy, warm and dry. We lit the fire, read books, chilled out and waited for a window in the weather and had a lovely walk in the foothills of Snowdon. The cottage is in the most incredible position with stunning views all around. It’s dramatic, moody and quiet – very unlike our life in the city. Great food at the Cwellyn Arms – good recommendation, so thanks for that and thanks for having us!
Elizabeth Williamson
We spent a wonderful week at Clogwyn Cottage. The cottage is ideally situated, with walks on the doorstep, as well as being within walking distance of a very good pub. Despite the wet weather, we walked every day, visiting lakes, forests and beaches.
The cottage was very well-equipped for our stay. The only thing I would mention is that there were no hooks behind any of the doors, which meant that there was nowhere to hang our wet towels.
Katharine Worrall
A great place to stay with excellent facilities. Everything you need for a great week. Stunning location. Walks from the doorstep and the Welsh Highland Railway only 100m away.
Nick
The cottage is in a peaceful picturesque location. It is well equipped and has a very cosy feel.
There are beautiful mountain views and the cottage is conveniently located for Snowdonās Rhyd Ddu & Snowdon Ranger paths (20 mins walk/5mins drive)
The property is 15min walk to the Cwellyn Arms (book well in advance for meals) in Rhyd Ddu but for more variety there are several pubs in the nearby village of Beddgelert which is a 10 min drive.
There are lots of local walks and Jane & John are helpful in recommending places to go & things to do.
Anglesey, Portmeirion, Porthmadog & Caernarfon are all within reasonable driving distance.
We would happily stay here again and recommend to others.
Emma
This cottage is fantastic. Great location to explore both Snowdonia and the LLyn Peninsula. Well equipped with everything you would need for your holiday. Really peaceful and quiet. Walking distance to the local pub. Couldnāt have asked for more.
Adrian Backshall
After taking 10 hours for a journey that should have been 6, it was lovely to find the cottage and settle in for a hot drink. The location is superb, tucked away on a working farm with stunning views from just up the path behind. There are cows, sheep, horses, chickens and sheep dogs. The Welsh Highland Railway passes right behind the cottage but we weren’t about when a passenger train went past.
The cottage has everything you need but if it doesn’t then John and Jane will get it for you. My wife had the usual problem of not having a plug socket near a mirror for her hair but I managed ok!
It is right in the middle of a beautiful area of North Wales with so many places to visit, we drove to Anglesey in half an hour, Portmeirion, Barmouth, Harlech are all close. Our two dogs loved it and had a secure garden to snuffle about in.
I’d also like to thank Louise from DIONI for helping with the booking and rearrangement over two years, great service in difficult times.

The beautiful setting of your Cottage, allows you to do the best of your stay no matter how much it rains! From beautiful walks / bike rides around the lake to admiring an ever moving backdrop from the kitchen window. You always have many choices of activities or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon in front of the fire.
We definitely suggest a meal or two at the local restaurant Cwellyn Arms. Truly a Michelin star quality.
Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Thank you and Enjoy your home away from home!

Had a lovey few days, but needed a week to enjoy all the area had to offer. It was a surprise break for a special birthday for my wife.The cottage was a real home from home and very comfortable.Thank you.

Lovely, cosy cottage in a stunning location. Very nicely decorated with a wood burning stove. We stayed here with our 2 kids – 6 & 3 years for feb half term. We had a lot of stormy weather so did one day biking at coed y brenin and the rest tried to be a bit more indoors – llechwedd slate mine, surf Snowdonia ninja assault course, Llanberis railway all great. Thank you for making us so welcome! We especially loved meeting the new puppy.

We had a fantastic four nights in this beautiful cottage. Perfectly placed for exploring the area and so comfortable, we couldn’t even drag ourselves to the pub in the evening. Amazing weather helped – we managed to climb Snowdon in full sunshine – but we could just as easily have curled up in front of the fire for the duration. Gorgeous welcome pack had lovely treats like cake, beer and soap, but shops are a trek, so best to arrive with essentials, like milk! Girls, 11 and 9, desperate to stay again, as are we!

I had a wonderful few days at Clogwyn Cottage, booked last minute – beautifully furnished and comfortable, and a superb location underneath Snowdon with stunning views. Lots of amazing walks nearby – Henry the dog had a great time too! If you can, hike up the Rhyd Ddu path to the summit of Snowdon, and also try the circular hike from Beddgelert just down the road a little. Perfect place to relax when it’s raining too, with cosy fire. Only problem was with wifi but the lovely owners swiftly fixed this for us.

We had a wonderful week in this idyllic spot. The cottage is spotlessly clean, well-equipped and beautifully furnished. Our host, Jane, was friendly and welcoming and gave us some fantastic recommendations for places to go and things to do. Climbing Snowdon and Aran were highlights, as was walking down into Beddgelert and getting the little train back to Rhyd Ddu.

A wonderful week in this beautiful cottage. Couldnāt have asked for a better location and owners John and Jane were very welcoming and gave us lots of information about the area. We climbed Snowdon on the Rhyd Ddu path which was stunningly beautiful. A day trip to Anglesey also fabulous. Beddgelert is a lovely place to visit – we got the Welsh Highland Railway from Rhyd Ddu to Porthmadog and then back to Beddgelert and walked the path back to Rhyd Ddu. So much more we wanted to do and we will be back for that reason!

Had an amazing holiday thank you. The weather was truly foul and could not even see Snowdon let alone climb it, but we did different thing and had a lovely holiday anyway. The Highland railway was wonderful – and dry !!
The cottage was fabulous – no expense had been spared to make it a real home from home. The owners were also wonderful – making us very welcome and providing help and advice, but not crowding our space. We also got to know the people in the adjacent cottage too who were also very nice.
As I said in the visitors book I would go back there in a heartbeat

We had a lovely stay at Clogwyn Cottage. It was clean, comfortable and ideal for walks straight out of the door. The views were beautiful. We walked to Snowden from the cottage which was fabulous. We visited Capel Curig a couple of times (just down the road) for our climbing hobby and Beddgelert which excellent especially the ice-cream parlour. We also visited the Forest coaster which was amazing. We would definitely return.

We have just returned from a wonderful week spent at Clogwyn Cottage. It is a beautiful cottage – spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The location was outstanding with the most idyllic views and welcome tranquillity. We spent our time taking on the Velocity zipwire and the Zipworld Fforest Coaster as well as horse trekking and the 7.5km walk from Rhyd Ddu to Beddgelert. Each day it was lovely to come back to this cosy cottage to put our feet up and recharge for the next day’s adventures. This was our second consecutive summer holiday in North Wales and we are already planning our third. It is extremely likely we would book with Dioni again either for this same cottage or basing ourselves somewhere slightly different.
Thanks to John and Jane for being terrific hosts and to your host sitters for being friendly and helpful.

Hi!
Just to say what a wonderful week we have just spent at your beautiful cottage. The cottage itself is outstanding in both quality, cleanliness and location. Jane, John and the children were wonderfully hospitable without being intrusive in anyway. Waking up to the slopes of snowdon as your garden is pretty special. Can’t wait to return.

A wonderful, short, but perfect stay. Our best Dioni stay yet.
Perfect location to explore Snowdonia and the beaches of North Wales. Friendly and unobtrusive owners, fantastic local welcome with some surprisingly excellent eateries. A late booking, perfect mini-break. Our special thabks to double J’s and their friendly inhabitants of a dream location.

We had a fabulous 5 nights at this beautiful cottage, we didn’t want to leave! It was our first visit to North Wales and have fallen in love with the area. The location was perfect for us, exploring locally, scenery on the doorstep and surrounding area is breath taking; but also further afield to Anglesey and Lynn peninsular. Amazing walks even out of the front door, and loved it that the cottage was actually on Mount Snowdon – we have promised ourselves we will return and to do the trek to the top. John and Jane were very welcoming and we loved the cottage, comfortable, all we needed, and very impressed with the hot water supply and bath! The cottage was soo warm we only lit the fire one evening. Grace our choc lab pup had a fabulous time as well! We went to the local pub on the last night and that was the best meal of the week! We definitely will be returning, and the service with Dioni has been excellent, the cottage was 100% as advertised, and we will be using this site again for all future visits(of which we intend to be many!). Many thanks.

We’ve just returned from a weeks stay at this lovely cottage. Perfect location and loved the farm dogs Digby and Max. They certainly added to our dogs holiday. Weather fantastic and we packed in lots of activities including the big zipper. The sunsets over the lake from the mountain side above the cottage were unforgettable. Even managed a day on the beach which was a huge bonus. We loved the place and will definately return.

Clogwyn Cottage is set in one of the most beautiful spots in Snowdonia. With the little steam train puffing past along the very foot of Snowdon, walking distance to a great pub with ales and good food and smack bang between two paths up Snowdon (we did them both with 8 yr and 10 yr old boy and little poodle in tow) it could not be better positioned. The cottage is luxurious and, as luck would have it, we had the most amazing weather. The 7.5km path from Rhydd Du to Beddgelert was stunning and the boys loved cycling its length and then returning home on the steam train, bikes, dog and ice cream from Glaslyn Ices included! The most amazing holiday – would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Jane! š

Absolutely idyllic cottage, extremely clean, comfortable and well furnished. Definitely 5* accommodation. Jane and John are lovely, friendly hosts and their three dogs are very friendly too. The location is superb – stunning scenery all around, and the cottage is very quiet and peaceful. It was lovely to hear and see the lambs on the farm at this time of year, and I was very lucky with the weather – even conducive to an eleven mile walk taking in the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) – and not requiring fleece or raincoat!! Superb cottage to come back to and relax in! Would like to not recommend it so that it’s available whenever I wish to return – but I cannot do that!! Diolch yn fawr and hope to return soon.

We have just returned from a very relaxing stay in Clogwyn Cottage. The property is presented to a high standard. It was extremely clean and well equipped. John and Jane were very welcoming – the cider, cake (and Easter chocs) a bonus on arrival. The location is great for exploring Snowdonia and we could have easily stayed for another week. We climbed to the summit of Snowdon via the Ranger Path. There are also numerous other beautiful walks in the area.

We have just spent 4 nights at the delightful Clogwyn Cottage, the accommodation is finished to such a high standard and had everything we required to make our stay one to remember. The location is superb and offered everything for days out exploring the Snowdonia National Park and H the Labrador loved it!
The only problem was the days didn’t seem long enough so next time we will be back for a little longer.

This is a lovely cottage, immaculately clean with really comfy beds. It’s positioned in the most beautiful of valleys with some stunning scenery. From here it is so easy to explore the Snowden area by foot, car or bike. We were made really welcome and are planning a longer stay next year. Best regards to Max he really made us laugh.
