Llys Deulyn is in Trefriw. It's a terraced cottage on the hillside. The river Crafnant runs right past the bottom of the garden. You can hear it from inside if the windows are open.
It sleeps four. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, which is handy. It's got a 4 Star rating. The living room and dining room are separate but open to each other, so it feels bigger than it looks from the street.
The garden is enclosed, which is good if you're bringing dogs. Speaking of which, we allow two. There's a starter pack of dog things here: bowls, towels, a mat. It's just one less thing to pack.
In the village, which is a short walk downhill, there are two pubs, a restaurant, a butcher, and a cafe. Trefriw Woollen Mill is there too. It's a proper old mill, still running.
Up the lane from here is Llyn Crafnant. It's a reservoir, but it's very pretty. There's a track all around it for walking. There's a small wooden tearoom at one end that does cups of tea and cake. The Gwydyr Forest starts practically at the back door. Good for mountain biking or just a walk.
Betws-y-Coed is about a fifteen minute drive. Lots of outdoor shops and places to eat. Conwy and its castle are about twenty-five minutes away by car. Llandudno is a bit further, maybe half an hour. The north coast is all within easy reach.
The facilities are all there: woodburner, dishwasher, wifi, washing machine. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and highchair if you need them.
