A beautiful cottage in a stunning location at the foot of Snowdonia National Park. Within 15 minutes you can be at the nearest beach or setting off on hikes in the mountains — the best of both worlds! Even a day trip to Liverpool is easy. We loved our stay and would happily come back.

Perfect cottage in a great location

Wern house had everything we needed for a very comfortable visit. The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is large and well equipped and the lounge is great to relax in after a day out. The location is great, there are so many places to visit nearby. Jane and Laurence are excellent hosts.

Exceptional stay!

We had the most amazing stay! The property was so cosy and a real home from home. Little touches like chocolates, fresh flowers in the rooms and milk in the fridge were much appreciated! The location could not have been more perfect. Spectacular walks, views, beach and pub all from the cottage. And so much more to explore in surrounding area too. Just perfect!! 10/10!!

This cottage has everything! Plus it’s tucked on a hillside with rushing brook nearby. Very relaxing and well equipped. Very near many of the great sights and places to see in northwest Wales. The Italian restaurant 5 mins away as wonderful food and excellent service.

A slice of heaven!

A lovely cottage, extremely well set up with lots of special touches, the owners have thought of everything. Love the little deck outside, so peaceful with birdlife. Best of all it was well located as a base for a week of touring around the north of Wales, and to come back to each evening, and walk down to the Fairy Glen pub for a drink some evenings. Thank you for a lovely day.

Wern is a lovely cottage in a picturesque setting. It is equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The cottage is very clean & comfortable. Small garden to sit in enjoying a glass of wine. There are lovely walks right from the door to enjoy. A short walk away is the friendly Fairy Glen pub. Good choice of meals & generous helpings.
