Tan Y Graig, Rhyd-Ddu, Snowdonia

Tan y Graig is one of five stone terraced cottages on a raised walkway, the front overlooking a 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.

At this time it offers enhanced cleaning procedures.

The cottage has a wooden floor in the living room and is carpeted throughout. It has a three seater settee, two arm chairs, dressing table and an open stone fireplace.

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.

The village tea room across from Tan y Graig offers a selection of meals and snacks throughout the day, and also an all-day breakfast. Be assured of a warm welcome by the owners Menno and Emma. The village pub also offers a wide selection of meals and guest ales.

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.

One of the routes up Snowdon - the Rhyd Ddu path - has its starting point in the village, and the Snowdon Ranger path is two miles away. Popular activities in the area are walking, climbing, mountain biking, pony trekking, fishing, golf and much more. Caernarfon is 9 miles away through impressive mountain scenery.

Bangor, Anglesey and Llandudno are about 30 minutes drive from the cottage.

Lovely little cottage
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.

Can’t find fault
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.

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

Beautiful views
Easy check in, property was clean and well equipped. Care to be taken on steps to the garden especially when wet, but well worth the effort! The views from the garden are spectacular and the property itself is in a lovely village location with walks on the doorstep. I love how this property is also dog friendly and we all enjoyed relaxing in front of the fire in the evenings.

Highly recommend this cottage
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!

Location:- This cottage is in a small village in the foothills of Snowdon, there is a pub very close by, but it is more of a restaurant than a village pub. There is a tea room directly opposite ( who also sever a breakfast (not Monday or Tuesday)), but open 10ish (too late for us). The Rhyd-Ddu path is a very short distance away,, and with the exception of the 700m along the ridge (don’t do this if you suffer from vertigo) not too tough. There is easy access to Beddgelert from a 7km walk (starting opposite the train station), and it is a lovely village. Cottage:- This was built for time past, so the door to the kitchen is low, and the stairs are steep. It has everything you need (except a mobile phone signal - O2). WiFi, dishwasher, TV, washing machine. There was plenty of toilet roll, washing up liquid, (and other consumables) that you might need, even the knives were sharpe (or I’ve been too many places where they are blunt). If you venture out into the garden (which if up a steep path) you have a lovely view of the mountain, and can watch the welsh Highland Railway railway trains navigate their way to and from Caernarfon. We visited when it was wet, the cottage has a wood burner, which once lit, gives off an amazing amount of heat (drying our shoes and coats), and is a pleasure to watch.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location
We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage. It was very well equipped, comfortable beds, kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine was very handy after a day’s outdoor activities. Comfy lounge to relax in, and on days with good weather was pleasant to take the few steps up to garden and view the mountains around Snowdon. Excellent location to be able to do some walks from the front door and be in the hills in a few minutes. Sally was very responsive to queries before we arrived and a quick question when we arrived. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay and relax or use as a base to explore the surrounding area.

A wonderful cottage in a superb location.
This place is a little gem , the view from the garden is so beautiful , I wish it were summer so I could have sat at the table and just soaked in the view. So many walks from the cottage , no need to get back in the car and drive anywhere . Did not visit the pub as was more than happy curled up on the sofa in front of the fire with a glass of wine ., but heard it was good and the food smelt great when walking past . Will love to go back again in the summer .

The cottage is located right next to a path that leads up to Snowdon. The cottage is very well equipped, very modern TV, beautiful fireplace, comfortable bed and even two pairs of hiking sticks. Sally was fantastic she provided a lot of useful information before our stay. During our stay we encountered a problem and Sally addressed it immediately.

Lovely cottage, great location, accommodating host
We had a lovely time in Rhyd Ddu. The cottage was perfect for our needs. Compact but with everything you could need and all the home comforts. The views from the back garden up Snowdon are wonderful and as a base for exploring Snowdonia Rhyd Ddu is pretty much perfect. Sally was a great host and allowed us a late checkout after a minor disaster threated to ruin our last couple of days of holiday. Would happily visit again.
