About the home

Y Neuadd Lwyd is a family run business and as such our primary concern is to ensure our guests experience a genuinely unique cottage which is cleaned and maintained to the highest of standards by the owners themselves. We pride ourselves on attention to detail and aim to provide our guests with a personal touch looking after their every need from the initial booking enquiry, ensuring the cottage is spotlessly clean, the bed linen is washed and ironed to perfection, to greeting guests with a warm welcome and if required showing our guests how to set and light the wood burning stove. As there is no agent involved no additional booking fee is charged.

This locally historical Grade II Listed cottage is a former 16th Century tavern which has been extensively modernised internally whilst retaining all of its external period character. On the ground floor, the property has spacious, open plan living accommodation with beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove, modern fitted kitchen and separate utility room. The Lounge area leads out onto an extensive decked terrace overlooking a private South West facing courtyard garden and the spectacular Snowdonia countryside beyond. Upstairs, the property has 2 stylish double bedrooms both with modern en-suite shower rooms. An additional fold away single bed is also available with bedding and linen for a nominal charge (suitable for a child). The cottage is approached along a private drive and has ample off road parking for 2 cars.

The cottage is within walking distance of the village shop, newly refurbished local pub which serves food and public transport links. Portmerion, Snowdon, Bodnant Gardens, The Welsh Highland Stream Railway, Llandudno, Llechwedd Slate Caverns and Conwy Castle to name just a few are all within no more than a 40 minute drive by car.

“Contemporary and Cosy” Great little cottage near the centre of Doilwyddelan. The cottage has been very well converted and is ideal for a small family or two couples or two friends. Its quite unusual to find a two bedroom cottage with two ensuite bedrooms and was ideal for us. Well fitted kitchen which is open plan to the sitting room which had two comfy sofas and a log burner, very cosy. The owners even offer to light the fire for you so its on when you return in the evening. We spent the week walking so didn't know when we would be back but it was very easy and quick to get a roaring fire once the owner had shown us how to do it. The cottage is easy to find and well situated in the centre of the village near the local Spar shop (small but well stocked with everything we needed). There is also a hotel serving evening meals, Elen's Castle, within easy walking distance. The local pub was also does food was unfortunately closed until further notice when we visited. Wifi is apparently available but you have to stand outside to pick up the owners signal (thick walls prevent use from inside). We didn't try it but did get access at Elen's Castle.

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful location with friendly and helpful owners living next door.” Beautiful scenery even though it rained six out of the seven days of our stay. But it didn't stop us sightseeing. We found 'all' the welsh people very friendly.

Guestbook for Y Neuadd Lwyd

A fabulous week in a fantastic cottage. As there was only the two of us it was a real luxury to have a bathroom each! The only problem was that one week was not enough time to see and do everything that we would have liked to. So we will definitely be return - but next time we will book two weeks. Judy and Keith - July '11

Cottage was perfect we looked last minute and where very impressed with the property. The cats were a welcome addition too! Weather hot and sunny with scattered showers. Loved North Wales, very impressed. Thank you Helen and family. Andrew and Sveta - June '11

A perfect location to tour North Wales, had a very enjoyable stay in this picturesque village. A lovely cottage finished to a high standard, our kids loved it especially the cats! Max and Margo will be fondly remembered. We would definitely come back again, the perfect hosts, thank you very much! Carroll family - June '11

Lovely cottage, easily met all expectations. Superbly equipped and location was perfect. See you next time . Hannath family - May '11

Lovely cottage a real 'home from home'. Alex loved spending his 7th birthday here (lovely chocolate cake Helen thanks!) and using all the transport available - trams, strains, steam trains, buses and cable cars! Children loved it, we loved it. Thanks for a wonderful week. Brown family - April '11

From start to finish we have had a fantastic time in North Wales. The weather was brilliant, sunny skies every day! The cottage deserves it's four stars, we felt that this was a home from home for the whole week. The girls played in the garden, tea on the decking every night, what more can we have wanted. Only one thing and that was we could have stayed longer. Looking forward to returning. Butler family - April '11

Lovely cottage, fantastic location, nice to relax and enjoy the place. Been to Wales many times over 40 years but still found different things to do. (The best place we have stayed in!) Thanks for making this a fantastic week, we will be back next year. Cooper family - Sept '10

We selected this cottage to rent after looking at 100's on the internet and are convinced we made the right choice from all that we saw. What a wonderful cottage, a real home from home! as George is an extremely active and inquisitive 19 month old this cottage is so child friendly, clean and safe, he especially enjoyed the decking and feeding the cats! We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery with the benefit of very warm sunny dry weather, it could not have been more perfect. Helen and family you have done us proud and we will not hesitate to come back here when we return to North Wales (no more internet searches!!) Thank you for a lovely relaxing holiday. See you soon David, Debbie and George - Sept '10
