2999 - Hen Aelwyd Yr Urdd
About the home
Hen Aelwyd Yr Urdd was originally built over a hundred years ago and has been sympathetically converted to offer accommodation for up to 2 people; a haven for couples looking to get away from it all. Much of its original character has been preserved through exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and an open fire. There is parking available, and some local amenities are only a short walk away. The cottage is perfectly situated for access to other attractions, such as the North-West Welsh coast and nearby caves.

The North Wales / Snowdonia/Gwynedd region
Snowdonia National Park, situated in North Wales, boasts breathtaking mountain scenery, crystal clear lakes and cascading waterfalls. Climb Snowdon, which at 1085m is Wales’ highest mountain, or travel to the summit in style on the charming Mountain Railway. Alternatively, why not sample the beautiful green valley of Llangollen by steam train or from a leisurely horse-drawn canal boat.
In July, the annual Llangollen Eisteddfod transforms the town into a unique centre of international music and dance, attracting musicians and singers from across the globe. You could also explore the beautiful coastline, safe sandy beaches and watersports of the Lleyn Peninsula, as well as Colwyn Bay, historic Conwy, Victorian Llandudno or the Isle of Anglesey on the north coast.
The Blaenau Ffestiniog area
Llan Ffestiniog is a picturesque village in Gwynedd, just 3 miles south of Blaenau Ffestiniog, in North Wales. The village itself is made up of rows of dark stone and slate-roofed houses. There are a few shops and chapels, but it is the dramatic scenery that really stands out; to the east there are the rolling moor-lands of the Migneint, whilst to the south and west is the beautiful Vale of Ffestiniog, a valley of thick woodland that plays host to a number of bubbling rivers and green meadows. Attractions near the village include the Rhaesdr Cynfal waterfalls and the remains of the Tomen-y-Mûr Roman fort and amphitheatre. The Cynfal waterfalls are part of the Ceunant Cynfal Nature Reserve. There is a large pillar shaped rock above the falls, known as Huw Llwyd’s pulpit, named after a 17th century wizard or preacher. The Nature Reserve is Site of Scientific Importance, housing many animals and plants that can only survive where there are old trees and a moist atmosphere.

This is wonderful little cottage and is great value for money. Although the village has few facilities Blaenau is a stones throw away and has most things. It is close to all the wonderful areas... more |

Guestbook for 2999 - Hen Aelwyd Yr Urdd
An all round excellent property in a lovely quiet location. We would recommend to anyone!

,A delightful cottage with fine attention to detail; extensive DVD and book collection, and lots of information about the area. A very well thought out cottage..
Mrs Simcock, Glossop, Derbyshire
October 2011
,The cottage was lovely and set in an ideal location. On arrival we found gifts and the cottage was well equipped and felt cosy. There are lots of walks in and around the village and from a short drive away. We were lucky to catch some of the late September sun so we also enjoyed trips to the coast, North, West and Angelsey, which are also only a short drive away. Portmeirion and Betws y Coed are also well worth a visit.
