"Great location next to the river and easy walking distance to the local village , lovely cottage with stunning views at the rear"
JF (Christmas 2023): Excellent "Absolutely beautiful little cottage right by the river. Perfect for a romantic getaway."
LV (November 2023): Excellent "We loved our stay at the cottage. Great location for local running/walking, nice village pubs, proximity to Snowdon. Well heated and cosy place to stay. Nice change of scenery for us to do a bit of work/reading overlooking the river. Would certainly stay again!"
IH (November 2023): Excellent "Back and again and will be back again. Such a magical place :)"
MH (October 2024): 4.5 STARS: "Cottage was in a lovely position, on the side of a flowing river. Great views from the kitchen and terrace. It was comfortable and well equipped but could do with some candles and torches. The electricity went off twice in a storm but we couldn’t find anything to light up the house. Luckily it wasn’t for long. We found the stairs quite steep but manageable. Lovely chairs in the back room to sit and relax watching the river with a coffee or glass of wine. The village of Beddgelert is only a short stroll away. Lots of walks along the river on paths to enjoy." Thank you for your feedback, we have put in a emergency torch into the cottage.
KG (August 2023): Excellent "Perfect little cottage. Stayed in this beautiful cottage for the second year running and it is just perfect, the location is excellent and the views amazing. There is everything you need in the cottage to ensure a comfortable stay. We shall be returning again soon"

HH (August 2023): 4.8 STARS "A lovely listed cottage in a perfect location, , overlooking the river, close to the centre of Beddgelert. Perfect as a location to explore Snowdonia. STS Holidays and the owners were efficient and helpful. The cottage had everything we needed. The staircase is steep, which was fine for us but might not be suitable for anyone with impaired mobility. The outlook from the kitchen picture windows and the riverside patio (equipped with a table and chairs) is wonderful. Riverside Cottage was an excellent base for a very enjoyable holiday"
EK (July 2023): Excellent "We loved our stay at the riverside cottage. It is a beautiful and quaint place to stay. Wonderful village to explore and lots of things to do within 15 minutes. Extremely peaceful stay and we enjoyed watching the river in the mornings. Cottage was iyllic with all the amenities we needed - clean, comfortable and convenient location."

MK (April 2023): 3.7 STARS "Loved the location, though it was difficult to find. Google maps does not know Club St! House number very difficult to see. Instruction manual needs some updating! If you ask people to turn off hot water system when they leave,the first instruction should be to tell them to turn it on. Bin instructions didn't work when we put them out as asked! Beautiful little house and position but we felt overpriced. Hesitate to recommend without some above changes" Thanks for the Feedback - which are always passed on to the Property Owner for their consideration.
GH (April 2023):Excellent "Wonderful retreat. Cosy, characterful cottage on the edge of Beddgelert village with a 200 inch live 'cinema screen' of the river and hillside behind. South facing riverside terrace with seating and plant pots on either side. Endless bird visitors, including dippers and wagtails. Spactious double bedroom in roofspace and practical kitchen area behind 'cinema' armchairs, including a cafetiere. Good wifi, Freesat TV and dvd player, though watching the river is much more entertaining. 5 minute walk to shops and pubs, with plenty of riverside walking paths in the area. Hopefully stay again next year"
KG (August 2022): 4.5 STARS "Fabulous little cottage. This cottage is just perfect, from the moment you walk through the door and see the view through the patio doors which is just amazing. All the stresses of life and work disappeared within minutes sat on the patio in the sunshine watching the river flow past whilst looking at the mountains . The cottage has everything you need​"
AM (July 2022): 4.7 STARS "An absolutely lovely spot to stay. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio watching the river & ducks"
JA 23 July 2022: 4.5 STARS: "A lovely little cottage looking out on the Glaslyn river within 100 metres of the centre of a quaint village in the heart of Snowdonia. The cottage is ideal for two people and is located within a few miles of the main attractions in the area including Portmeirion, Harlech Castle, Caernarvon, Betws y coed, Llanberis, Snowdon ETC. The cottage though simple in its facilities and fittings has a terrace adjacent to the river and the terrace gets the sun for most of the day."
GA 09 Jul 2022: 4.5 STARS "We had a great week in Beddgelert made even better by the sunshine and particularly the cottage we stayed in. The Riverside Cottage was a great place to stay whilst we walked the hills and mountains around the village. The cottage was very clean on arrival everything working well, the TV took a bit of getting used to but we got there in the end. The patio space was great, it allowed us to relax once our walks were over, as the weather was great we used this space a lot. Having a washing machine was great, the shower was great as well, my only minor issue was the bed, being 6’3” I found the bed a little small especially when you consider the size of the bedroom, the room could take a king size easily. All in all the cottage was a delight, the village was beautiful as it always is, the food eating out was great as well. We are looking to returning to Beddgelert in the near future."
JY (May 2022): 3.8 STARS "Location is idyllic on the River in Beddgelert and close to many beautiful walks. Peaceful and pretty outlook. Cottage could do with updating and freshening up - shower curtain would be better replaced with a screen that can be cleaned and attention to heating in the bathroom too. Otherwise a lovely cottage and position"
C&W (Sept 2020): Excellent "We have been coming to Beddgelert for over 40 years and think you have one of the best locations in the village. We look forward to becoming one of your regulars."
D&R (Jan 2020): Excellent "The river at the back was the reason we choose this cottage and it has more than lived up to our expectations. The cottage has wrapped itself around us and we have felt very relaxed."
C&J June 2019: Excellent "This is our fifth stay in your cottage in wonderful Beddgelert. It gets harder to leave every time. Be back soon."
Mr & Mrs D: Excellent "Beautiful location and well equipped cottage. Excellent walking opportunities within easy reach"
Mary C (March 2019): Excellent "Lovely peaceful place just wish I had booked longer"
Mr & Mrs D: Excellent "The cottage was immaculately clean and we were well provided with everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. this, along with the beautiful location and view through the window of the patio meant that we dined in every night, and never felt the need to eat out at all."

Visit Wales Comments (March 2020):
"Set in a wonderful riverside location this period family property has a most attractive setting.."
Overall Quality Percentage: 66%

A listed cottage as part of a terrace next to the Gwynant River in Beddgelert. Approach is easiest from the bridge in the middle of the village. Take the A498 towards Capel Curig. After 400m, just after a small bridge, there is a row of cottages on the right by the river. Number 4 is clearly labelled. Parking is not allowed on the side of the road next to the property, though there are no signs or lines to indicate this. It is best to park on the opposite side, about 10m upstream where the pavement starts again. Be careful the road can be busy. Downstairs is split level. A small lounge leads to a dividing double door with 5 steps leading down with no handrails to the kitchen/dining room. Halfway down there is access to the bathroom with a small bath and shower above. At the back is a patio above the river. The bedroom is the only room upstairs and is accessed via a narrow stairway from the lounge leading directly to the room. There are two wall lights and 2 bedside lights.
There are plenty of plug sockets in the property.
Entrance is from a narrow pavement on the main road. A slate path, with a small step from the pavement & a single width front door leads directly into the lounge.

Keep returning to this cottage which I think speaks for itself. Great location right on the river to enjoy the views or for a quick paddle. Kitchen fully equipped, log burner for colder evenings, good WiFi. The only thing I can possibly fault is the bed, it has the comfiest mattress ever but needs a king-size. Beddgelert is also a delightful village with good pubs and fantastic walks.

As soon as I walked in the front door I loved the cottage. So homely and comfy. Great patio on the riverbank with amazing views. 2 minutes walk to the shop and pubs in beautiful Beddgelert. Everything you need for a holiday in Wales. Will definitely be returning in winter when we can sit in front of the lovely fire.

After looking forward to our stay in beddgelert once again and paying a lot of money for our cottage,we were very disappointed in its condution,whilst being clean,it needs a lot of tlc. An extractor fan is needed in the bathroom,new patio doors and brighter lighting would be good. We also found an infestation of carpet moths in the bedroom. On a lighter note,we loved the picture window with its lovely view.

We arrived at the cottage to find it welcoming. The fire was laid on which was fab as it was very chiily outside....The flowing river just beyond the patio, was a WOW moment and so relaxing listening to it on an evening....The village is beautiful. All in all loved our still in this pretty little cottage.
