About this property
Trem y Don is tucked away on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Dolgarrog, Conwy, in the heart of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Built in 1922, this quaint, single-story annexe is the perfect romantic retreat for couples, while also being family-friendly and pet-friendly, should you want to bring along your little ones or your furry ones. On arrival, find off-road parking and take a minute to admire your elevated position in the rural space between Dolgarrog and Trefriw, overlooking the Conwy valley. The interior has a beautiful four-poster double bedroom and a bathroom with a bath and shower over it for when it is time to rest and refresh between fun-filled days. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials, so you can enjoy a lovely home-cooked meal, along with a handy washing machine for your laundry needs. From here, the sitting room is the perfect place to curl up with a good book by the woodburning stove or challenge your partner to a game of table football for your evening entertainment, and there is also a doll house and other games for any children in your group. Step outside into the garden, where you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the hot tub, nestled under the pagoda and perfect to soak in any time of year. The decked area is the perfect spot for a leisurely breakfast, while furniture makes for a great place to relax in the afternoon sun with a drink of your choice! For a peaceful nook, head to the Meditation Area, set in the forest, where you can feel at one with nature whilst lounging on the private hammock. Finishing off the property is a shed that also provides storage for bikes and sports equipment if you’re looking to explore the picture-perfect national park. Explore Dolgarrog, an idyllic village surrounded by gentle rolling hills and lush green meadows, ideal for leisurely strolls. Betws-y-Coed is just a scenic drive away, a picturesque village featuring historical monuments, an array of outdoor activities, and plenty of places to shop. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, a stunning landscape of rugged mountains, forested valleys, gushing rivers, and shimmering lakes. Let your adventurous spirit run free, with plenty of opportunities to take part in thrilling activities such as walking, cycling, rock climbing, or mountain biking. For the more daring, you can even brave the heights of Zip World, just a few miles north of the property, tackle the iconic Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), or simply jump on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. No matter how you choose to spend your time, a stay at Trem y Don is guaranteed to be one to remember.
The village of Dolgarrog is situated in the Conwy Valley, within the Snowdonia National Park. The village is surrounded by three rivers - the Afon Ddu, the Afon Porth-llwyd and the Conwy, and the woodlands of the Coed Dolgarrog National Nature Reserve. Adventure Parc Snowdonia is found here, which offers a whole host of adrenaline-fuelled activities both indoor and outdoor including a large man-made surf lagoon that provides a fantastic experience for beginner surfers and those with more experience. Close to Dolgarrog are lovely walks including gorge walking, which will appeal to the more adventurous, and the peaks of Drum and Tal y Fan. Both the ‘walking village’ of Trefriw and the market town of Llanrwst are nearby, plus the popular inland resort of Betws-y-Coed is just a few miles away and is well worth a visit. The North Wales coastline is within a short drive and includes Conwy, a World Heritage Site offering a castle, festivals, shops and restaurants, and Llandudno with its sandy beaches and The Great Orme. Dolgarrog is an ideal base for exploring this part of Wales.

It is a gem of a cottage, with good hosts close by but not intrusive. The welcome package was very well received by us and the hot-tub is excellent and well maintained. It is an excellent centre for visits especially if you are a Cadw and/or National Trust member. We managed Beaumaris Castle and Plas Newydd on one day. Rhyl and Rhuddlan Castle on another. Conway town and castle which are truly a delight. Bodnant Gardens and the Welsh food centre are only 15-20 minutes away and spectacular. A day in Snowdonia and visiting Penrhyn Castle were all interesting. There are so many places to go you can easily fill a week. For food the Groes Inn straight up the road [6-7 miles] is excellent been there a number of times over the years. Y Bedol is also decent.

We were fairly surprised at how large the property was, plenty of room for the two of us and Max the dog, and we all enjoyed the welcome pack kindly provided by our hosts. The location is spot on and a short drive to most of the coastal resorts around North Wales, there is even a bus stop right outside that takes you into LLandudno if that takes your fancy. The hot tub was a real welcome at the end of a busy day. Special mention to Graham for providing one of the highlights of Marija's holiday memories. If we could make one little suggestion, maybe a bigger fridge/freezer for the kitchen.
