A beautiful secluded cottage at the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Clogwyn-Mawr is ideally placed for walkers and lovers of dramatic landscapes. Sleeps up to four guests in one double bedroom and one twin. Gorgeous mountain views.

You’ll find this wonderful rural hideaway just outside the village of Rhyd Ddu at the foot of Cymru’s highest peak. If you’re familiar with Eryri, you might know that the village has given its name to one of the nicest routes up Yr Wyddfa, which is relatively less well trodden than the Miner’s or Pyg track, so a great option if you’d prefer to avoid the tourist crowds.

The cottage is a gorgeous barn conversion, packed full of character, but with some great contemporary creds and style. It has been recently renovated to a very high standard, using locally sourced materials and craft. We love the restful natural materials used, including local timber and stone. Carbon-neutral, it is powered by hydroelectricity from the neighbouring farm.

The open plan living area is quite stunning with a handmade oak vaulted ceiling. Expect super-comfy leather sofas and fantastic views from the patio door. Underfloor heating and a nice little wood effect heater keep things cosy and warm.

The living area is separated from the generous sized kitchen by a few steps – it’s a kind of mezzanine layout. It is all immaculately and very stylishly presented. In the kitchen, smart new appliances include an electric oven and hob, microwave and coffee maker. There is a dining table for four.

A few more steps lead up to two bedrooms – one double and one twin – which are separated by a good-sized family bathroom. You’ll find more gorgeous fabrics and furnishings up here – the porcelain tiles in the bathroom are a thing of real beauty.

This beautiful secluded cottage at the foot of Yr Wyddfa has the most wonderful views from every window, and sleeps up to four guests. Outside there is a fantastic dining terrace, which comes with a stunning mountain backdrop. The Welsh Highland steam train chuffs past at regular intervals, and there is private access to Yr Wyddfa from the back door.

Location

 

You’ll find Clogwyn-Mawr on the outskirts of the village of Rhyd Ddu at the foot of Yr Wyddfa. Rhyd Ddu is a friendly little village that comes complete with a traditional real ale pub (within walking distance of the cottage) as well as wonderful mountain views. There is also a great little tearoom in the town.

The Rhyd Ddu Path is probably one of the quieter routes to the top of Yr Wyddfa, and so this beautiful secluded cottage at the foot of Yr Wyddfa is a great choice for keen walkers and explorers who like to stray a little off the beaten track. It’s also a great location if you’d like to tackle Moel Hebog, Yr Aran or the Nantlle Ridge.

The Welsh Highland Railway stops at the station in the village and will huff and puff you to Caernarfon in one direction and Porthmadog in the other. The steam train passes the cottage several times a day – it’s a lovely sight and sound.

Rhyd Ddu is close to some of Eryri’s nicest towns and villages including Beddgelert, Betws-y-Coed and Llanberis. Stand out attractions in the area include Zip World, Antur Stiniog downhill mountain bike trails, and The Slate Caverns at Llechwedd – home to a deep mine tour, Zip Caverns, Zip Titan, and Bounce Below.

More traditional attractions include Caernarfon with its awe-inspiring 13th century fortress and the Italianate village of Portmeirion – home to the popular Festival No. 6. Rhyd Ddu is a great base for exploring most of Eryri.

Had a wonderful family stay at Clogwyn-Mawr: we climbed Snowdon on the nearby Ranger Path, went trampolining at Bounce Below, visited Caernarfon Castle, walked through the Aberglaslyn Pass, and enjoyed pizza and ice cream at Beddgelert. The cottage is very comfortable and set in the most wonderful location, with incredible views of Snowdon and the surrounding countryside – a great place to come back to and relax after all that exercise!

A wonderful three days. Walked up Snowdon direct from the cottage. Lovely food at local pub. Cottage warm, high water pressure and comfortable.

When we say this cottage has it all, we really mean it. The location is second to none. The scenery is beautiful. The cottage itself is a beautiful place to stay. How many other cottages has a steam train that comes past twice a day (on certain days!)? We will 100% be back, we will be giving out details to friends and family and we cannot recommend it enough. What an amazing stay!

Breathtaking views

We had such a wonderful time staying at Clogwyn-Mawr that upon returning home we immediately booked again for November 2024 🙂

The property is beautifully presented, very well maintained and spotlessly clean. It has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, excellent underfloor heating, good WiFi and Smart TVs in both bedrooms. Note for the coffee lovers: there’s a Nespresso Vertuo machine but bring spare coffee pods with you as you can’t buy them locally. A few pods were provided in the lovely welcome basket together with delicious Bara Brith from the local tea shop and a bottle of Welsh Cider. Yum.

Clogwyn-Mawr has so much to offer (dog friendly too!) but the absolute star is the peaceful location with its breathtaking 360 Mountain Views. We can’t wait to return.

Fantastic cosy cottage, secluded yet close to everything you would want to do. Underfloor heating was amazing, beds were very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Great internet access too. Enclosed garden meant that we could let our two sausage dogs out with minimum oversight. Right on the doorstep of two Snowdon Paths and local pub (15 min walk max) had a great selection of beers. We will be back again.

Clogwyn Mawr is the cosiest cottage we’ve stayed in so far. Well equipped, and with amazing views, including the top of Yr Wyddfa, we were sorry to leave after our 4 night stay! Even though the house felt remote, the local pub and cafe were only an easy 20 minute walk away and Beddgelert only a few minutes in the car. We hope to return soon. Diolch!

We loved our stay at Clogwyn Mawr, the cottage is fantastic and in such a great location. There are plenty of places to access for walks from the cottage and if you like peace and quiet then this the perfect place to stay, with nothing but sheep for company.

The facilities are perfect with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and having access to an EV charger is a great addition.

The views from the windows and from the patios are nothing short of breathtaking and we even caught a glimpse of the top of Snowdon, once the cloud cleared off.

Our dog Archie enjoyed watching the sheep from the gate and sleeping in the sunny spot by the front door.

Would definitely stay here again.

Simply perfect place to stay. The accommodation is well thought through with attention to detail clear. It’s located in an incredibly picturesque position and waking up there each day is delightful. It’s perfectly situated to complete the many walks and routes offered in Snowdonia as well as being only a short drive away from most other attractions too. Honestly couldn’t fault it and would consider returning in the future too. Really nice welcome touches too. Stayed with my Husband and two children aged 16 and 18 and we had more than enough to do during out stay to keep everyone happy with the bonus of always returning to this wonderful accommodation.

This is going to sound much like the review I left for our previous stay last year and the reasons we came back! Such an amazing cottage in an incredible location. It is so quiet and beautiful yet only 10 minutes or so from Beddgelert with glorious views around the valley in which it sits, including of Moel Hebog and Snowdon on clear days! The cottage is spacious, warm and welcoming and again, like last year, we have already booked for next year! 🙂

Clogwyn-Mawr is a beautiful place, inside and out. Being able to walk both straight up to Snowdon and to the pub is unbeatable. Very quiet, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Lots to see in the area as well – we enjoyed visiting Sygun Copper Mine in Beddgelert, getting the steam train to Blaenau Ffestiniog, walking up the Rhinogs and having lunch at Dylan’s Restaurant in Criccieth. Perfect place to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday!
