About this property
Tan Y Graig, Rhyd-Ddu, Snowdonia
Tan y Graig is one of five stone terraced cottages on a raised walkway, the front overlooking the old tea room and the back has the most breath taking views of Snowdon. You can see the train going on its journey to the top of the mountain and the Welsh Highland railway literally past the back garden.
The cottage has tiled flooring downstairs with the upstairs carpeted. The lounge has three seater settees, centre table and an open stone fireplace with log burner.
The staircase has a small landing with doors leading to two bedrooms and a toilet and shower room. The back twin bedroom has a double glazed door with steep slate steps going up to the top back garden.
The kitchen is fully equipped with cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee maker, washer and tumbler dryer and a good supply of cutlery, crockery, glassware and cooking utensils. There is free Fibre Broadband and Wifi.
Heating is by electric radiators and a cosy log burner in the living room with logs purchased locally. All linen, towels and tea towels are provided.
Be assured of a warm welcome in the village pub, the Cwellyn Arms, which offers a wide selection of great snacks, meals and guest ales throughout the day and into the evening.
Rhyd Ddu is a quiet village on the A4085, about 3 miles north of Beddgelert, situated at the foot of Snowdon and its surrounding peaks. The Welsh Highland railway runs from Caernarfon to Porthmadoc passing through the village with a stop within walking distance of the cottage.

Tan Y Graig is a stone's throw from both the bottom of the Rhyd Dhu path and the pub. We enjoyed our stay immensely; the wood stove does a great job of heating the front room and the view from the back garden is just as stunning as it looks from the photos. A fantastic place to stay if you're planning on spending a few days exploring the surrounding area.
Property in lovely location, a home from home cottage with all the amenities you will need.
Lovely walks on doorstep and great food in the pub across the road.
Spotlessly clean house with good amenities. Small and cosy. Host very welcoming and responsive. Beds very comfortable and good hot shower! Loads to do in the vicinity - even in the rain. Quirky garden is great.
We had a wonderful stay in Rhyd Ddu - the cottage was lovely and the location was perfect for walking. Our dog absolutely loved the garden! I was a bit concerned about the on road parking but it was absolutely fine. The tea room opposite is closed for 2024 and also up for sale (July 2024) which was a bit of a shame but the pub down the road was really nice.
Great experience staying here, cottage was well equipped and decorated. Host provided very detailed instructions
Garden views are stunning. Will be visiting again!
We absolutely loved the cottage. We had everything we needed and it was very clean. The location is fantastic with lots of walks and beautiful views.
Would definitely recommend to stay here.
A very cozy cottage with a spectacular raised garden in back. Cute pub across the street had good food. We were a close drive to hiking trails and did some fabulous hikes. Recommended!
Great property, very clean and well maintained. Beautiful large garden at the back. Exceptional communication with Sally the property manager. Perfect location for spending time in Snowdon.
clean, cosy cottage with all the facilities you need for a great stay in this lovely part of Wales. We had a welcome bottle of wine and welsh cakes which was nice. The views from the garden look over Mount Snowdon range and are amazing.
Very nice house with beautiful garden with perfect view on Snowdon. Walk to the summit from the front door! Nice pub and restaurant across the street, supermarket a few minutes by car. Perfect place for a week, we would liked to stay another week.
So nice to be away again to our favourite part of Wales and glad we chose this property as so handy for all the things we like-walks in woods the coast, mountains. Property is lovely. Everything you require. Hope to get back really soon.
Small but well equipped and well located cottage backing onto Snowdon's western edge with all the facilities required for a couple/small group of adults and very well located for exploring northern Snowdonia. Property was very clean and well prepared and accurately marketed
Clean with quality items. Good size bedrooms, cosy lounge with log burner, well equipped kitchen and a fabulous view from back garden. Note: stairs to bedrooms are steep so maybe old or infirm may struggle. Steps to back garden also steep but well worth the climb. Very handy position for North Wales area visits. I would go again and also recommend it to others.
If you enjoy hiking and stunning scenery then this is the place to stay in Snowdonia National Park. The cottage has everything one needs for a very comfortable stay with everything thought of. We were able to self-cater very easily. Although there isn't a dining area a table and chairs are provided that you have to set up but as there were only 2 of us we ate on our laps. We also enjoyed sitting in the garden looking onto Snowdon but you have to be able to cope with steep steps ups. The beds are comfortable although the double bed is only a queen. We loved the location being able to walk from the door up Mount Snowdon. And there is a lovely pub and tea room in the village. Sally was very helpful and we would love to return. Highly recommend this lovely cottage which was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and very well equipped. Also a good shower which we appreciated! Many thanks Sally!
We had a lovely stay at the Tan Y Graig cottage in Rhyd Dhu. The cottage was well appointed with everything that we needed for a five night stay. No complaints from us.A few things to make you aware of:* The steps up to the garden are steep in and you need to take care whether wet or dry. Anyone with weak legs may find the climb a challenge. At the time of our stay....* There was no mobile signal in the village, so mobile internet and mobile phone calls were not an option.* The very close by Cwellyn Arms did not make any WiFi available to bar users, which we thought was a bit mean spirited.* But, the Cwellyn Arms did do some good cask ales
Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025

Property was excellent. It was in a great location. It was very clean. We had a superb time.
This was spoilt when we arrived home and received an email from the host stating she will be taking £150 from my account within 3-5 days for damage to a table to replace it. We had not used the table whilst there. She could only provide an after photograph of this damage but still insisted we had done it. Feel we are being ripped off. Beware of homes owned by this host. We are both older people who respect other peoples properties and would certainly have reported any damage sustained. This all spoilt what was a lovely break away
