Betws Bach Farmhouse


Cottage near Criccieth, Snowdonia

An ancient, quaint cottage style farmhouse, dating back to circa 1675, which has been expertly restored to maintain its two massive inglenooks, stone steps, original small windows, post and panel partitions and original oak beams and trusses.

Betws Bach is a GRADE II* listed historic building, with preservation order on its authentic keep. Its architecture is very interesting and quite unique. The main part of the farmhouse is completely self-contained accommodtion with the North Wing being occupied by my elderly Mother who is occasionally joined by ourselves from time to time. The main part is approached along its own tarmaced drive and entrance.

Accommodation - 4 bedrooms sleeping 7 plus cot (+ 1 folding bed, by request). All bed linen provided and beds made up ready for arrival.
