Siabod Cottage

"Cosy yet well equipped cottage in a great location. Walks from the door and a short drive to Betws -y-coed. Great hot tub in peaceful spot. Short walk to the National outdoor centre and fab cold dip opportunities in the river and lake. Good pub within walking distance (20mins) and lots of other options within 10 min drive. Will definitely look to return."

"Siabod Cottage is a great base for exploring Snowdonia. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing few days away, and coming back to the hot tub and log burner after a day out is perfect. This was my third visit and it certainly won’t be my last."

"Just back from a great short stay in Siabod Cottage. Before we arrived Ian sent an incredibly comprehensive guide, including instructions on how to use everything in the cottage through to local recommendations. The cottage was well-equipped and cosy, and the hot tub in the garden, with a running stream just behind it, was perfect. The heating kept the cottage warm enough that we didn't use the log burner, but there was plenty free firewood available. The location was beautiful, set back far enough from the A5 that traffic noise wasn't an issue, and with views of multiple mountains (including Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon). We would definitely return."

"Our stay was absolutely perfect in this quaint, peaceful cottage. It felt so cosy and the hot tub outside next to the stream was beautiful. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. It is also in a perfect location with lovely local walks, shops and forests for your furry friends - our German shepherd loved it."

"We had a fantastic stay in this cottage. Ian and Sonia were brilliant hosts, being very responsive and providing local recommendations. We did Snowdon one of the days and it was the perfect place to stay for that - especially with the hot tub for afterwards! We then drove to Anglesey one of the days which was beautiful. Siabod Caffi next door is perfect to get some breakfast before a days walking. We did a food shop before visiting which I’d recommend just so you don’t need to drive to a shop during your stay. Also, the pub about 5 mins walk was good fun. Thanks to Ian and Sonia, we had a fantastic long-weekend and we’ll definitely be back!"

"absolutely incredible property. Exactly what we wanted and needed. Cosy and cottage like but with all the modern conveniences you need. We went for a long hike in the snowy weather, and returned home, lit a fire and soaked our aching legs in the hot tub. althoughtjust off the main road, it was so peaceful and quiet. On the first night the sky was clear and the star gazing opportunities were incredible due to the location. We were able to catch the Snowdon Sherpa to Pen Y Pass, and was a pleasant walk back from the local pub following our hike. Ian and Sonia were helpful and responded quickly to our messages. Wanted to rebook before we'd even left!! Brilliant home and brilliant hosts. Thank you!"

"Absolutely beautiful cottage and location - the photos definitely do not do it justice. The cottage was cosy, comfortable and warm and location is beautiful with stunning scenery and great walks from the doorstep. The hot tub and the log burner were the icing on the cake! Ian provided really detailed, accurate and helpful instructions for finding the cottage, gaining access and everything you could possibly need for your stay, and Sonia was really lovely and helpful. Will definitely be coming back for another visit as soon as I can."

"A charming cottage, set in a beautiful location. Had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a bonus after a day's hike up and down the Llanberis path. Clean, cosy and immaculately presented. The books on the bedside tables were a lovely touch. We had a very comfortable stay. The cottage is set in a very peaceful area, set back from the A5. Easily accessible to Llanberis for Snowdon parking. About a 25 minute drive. Good amenities nearby. Thank you Ian, we loved it!"

"What a great little cottage! It’s characterful, warm and comfortable with everything you need. The surroundings are beautiful and the location is ideal for hiking Yr Wyddfa (Pen Y Pass a 10min drive) or Zipworld (Penrhyn Quarry). The hot tub in the back garden is a lifesaver after a day of mountain climbing! Ian is a brilliant host, his communication throughout has been first class. We’ll be back!"

"What an amazing place beautifully presented in a fabulous location and dog friendly, lovely enclosed rear garden and within walking distance (10 mins max) of a beautiful pub with the best steak we have had for a long time. Ian the host is fantastic very responsive to any message sent with a stunning place to stay, exactly how you would expect and more, even had dog treats in a jar ! Will definitely stay again at some point when we come back on a walking trip, Moal Siabod is in view and you can walk it from the house with a map provided, tryfan and Ogwen just a short drive oh and a famous cafe on the doorstep literally ! No need to cook breakfast. Thanks Ian excellent work"

"The cottage is in a great location to easily explore the area - Zipworld Fforest, Llanberis, Betws-y-Coed are all close by. Ian's directions and advice on local services are spot on. Sonia also gave us a warm welcome and extra information when we arrived to make sure we settled in okay. The garden was closed in enough for our dog to be let loose. The area is very quiet despite being just off the A5. Would definitely stay again!"

"Lovely clean & comfortable old cottage in an excellent location for exploring the area, with a bus stop and a good cafe on the main road just 100m down the lane. The hot tub is an excellent feature and was very welcome after long days out, although it's not especially private. I'd be more than happy to stay again."

"We had a great stay! The place was calm and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing break. The hot water tub was a highlight and the children really enjoyed it. Siabod Café nearby was lovely for a bite. The host was helpful and very responsive. Would definitely recommend!"

"Had a lovely stay at Siabod cottage - stunning local scenary and great location. The house had everything we needed (plus was very clean!) and the hot tub + wood burning stove were great for relaxing and keeping cosy while at the cottage. Would stay again."

"We had a lovely stay at Saibod cottage, the hot tub and views were fantastic and Sonia was really helpful and always on hand to answer any questions and with great local advice. It was ideal for us, close to Snowdon, Zipworld and more!"

"A wonderful stay at this cosy cottage! Within easy reach of everything we need from Eryri National Park, the hottub was such peace and tranquility after long days in the mountains. The log burner was a great touch! Cottage was really cosy and to a great standard. Thank you for a great stay!"

"This was our second Christmas in Siabod cottage and we loved it even more the second time! The cottage is in the most beautiful surroundings with views of Snowdon through the window. The hot tub is very relaxing, especially located next to the river. The hosts are very friendly, proactive and helpful. We have two young kids and they absolutely love this place and want to come again!"

"Our stay at the cottage was perfect. It was cosy and felt right at home. We received clear instructions on how to check in . when we emailed the host they were responsive. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Everything has been considered for and including safety. Kitchen and bathroom was modern, everything you need in the kitchen including eggs and milk in the fridge, tea, sugar and biscuits in the cupboard. I ended up staying in all weekend and I wasn't bored, between Netflix you tube music and my book, I was occupied. We loved the pocket size waterproof map with local walks. The Hot tub was a bonus. Easy to use and no faff...and the sound of the stream whilst sat in the hot tub was lovely. The view from the cottage, you have Moel Siobad and in the distance the mountain ranges including Snowdon. A lovely cafe at the bottom of the path, had an amazing carrot cake and cheesecake.... I will definitely be returning for a calm relaxing weeken"

"Myself and my daughters have just returned from a few days at the cottage. We have had the most amazing time, the cottage is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The hot tub was our favourite thing, wonderfully relaxing next to the stream. The views from the cottage are incredible and breathtaking. The cottage is just a short drive into the very pretty town of Betws-y-Coed. Sonia was the best host! Absolutely lovely and always just a message away with a super quick reply. I know this all sounds just too good to be true but it really was a perfect place to stay."

"Ian's cottage was in a perfect location to explore snowdonia especially for those who are looking at doing the zipline. The cottage itself is really cozy and picturesque and it was great to unwind at the end of the day listening to the stream flow whilst sat in the hotub. check in was a breeze with clear instructions how to get inside and the cottage was nice and clean. We also checked out some of local places to eat which were reccomended in the book. The ugly house was just down the road and did amazing welsh rarebit. Ian's place was great value for money and I would definitely stay again."

"If you are looking to climb mount snowdon or walk around snowdonia then this is a perfect place to be based. Really clean and comfortable and a fantastic hot tub."

"We had a lovely break here - nice character cottage with great walks straight from the front door. Fantastic views to mole siabod which we climbed. Good location and an easy drive either way to get to other amenities and locations. Hot tub was secluded. Very responsive host. A lovely stay."

"Thank you Ian and Sonia, We had a lovely stay at your place, inside cosy and comfy, yet practical (with our dog being with us) the cottage is in such a great setting - views across to Siabod and Snowdon, and Capel Curig as a location was amazing, we felt like we were surrounded by activities and places to visit in all directions, and often only a 5-10min drive away. The hot tub was ace of course! We shall definitely be back. Thank you again, Duncan"

"Lovely cosy cottage for a couple of days super close to Snowdon, we actually climbed it twice! Great relaxing in the hot tub afterwards. Lots of wood for the fire 🔥 Comfortable beds, very clean! Overall one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at!"

"A lovely base to explore North Wales. Beautiful views and the sound of the stream at the back while in the hot tub was very relaxing. The cottage had everything you needed for a nice stay."

"A really lovely cottage, perfectly placed for climbing Snowdon. The bus stop at the bottom of the driveway takes you to Pen y Pass Wonderful, comfortable cottage. Well equipped and very clean. A few welcome items in the kitchen were a lovely touch. The hot tub is fab. We spent hours chilling out and gossiping with a drink after a long day on the hills. Thanks loads Ian. We’d love to return."

"This cute cottage is really lovely. The view is stunning, the hot tub an absolute delight. We appreciated the welcoming sight of eggs and milk in the fridge too. It is kept very clean and tidy and it’s easy to relax there, with everything you could possibly need to hand. There is a great dog friendly cafe virtually next door."

"Siabod Cottage was the perfect location for exploring Snowdonia, with beautiful views and walks straight from the cottage. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the end of each day, listening to the stream below. Sonia was very welcoming and helpful. The cafe and local pubs were great and dog friendly. We would love to return and thoroughly recommend Siabod Cottage."

"Ian’s place is great, wonderfully cosy cottage close to everything in Snowdonia. The hot tub was a highlight, great to relax in after a day of walking"

"2 adults/2 kids (15 & 13) Stayed early June 2022. Wow! What an amazing find this cottage was. Absolutely spotlessly clean (and we are fussy!) Location was fabulous, so close to all North Wales has to offer. 10mins from Snowdon/Betws y Coed / Zip World etc. Superb restaurants nearby. The cafe at the end of the drive is FAB! Real hearty breakfasts to set you up for the day! Hot tub is out of this world, especially after a long day on the hills. So peaceful and relaxing. The cottage has everything you need including a little welcome pack with milk, eggs, T bags, coffee etc. A nice touch after a long journey. We will 100% be returning, it really is a great cottage."

"A fabulous place. We relaxed as soon as we arrived. Very well appointed cottage and the convenience of the cafe only a 5 min walk away is great. The hot tub was amazing for easing achy muscles after a day scrambling up Snowdon"

"Beautiful cottage and perfect location in the mountains. House was clean and well equipped. Ian answered all my questions about the area and had the lovely tough of leaving milk and eggs for us in the fridge. Hot tub was amazing, wood fire was beautiful. Located next to a very busy e pub and cafe."

"A beautiful cosy cottage in a perfect location, very clean and modern. The log fire and hot tub were absolutely amazing to come back to after walking up Snowdon. The hosts were lovely and went out of their way to make sure we had a good stay."

"Great quiet location but also walking distance to a pub with lovely food. Well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, great shower and hot tub was very welcome after a day's walking. Will return if back in the area."

"The cottage was very clean and exactly what we needed for staying in the area. The hot tub was well maintained, shame the weather didn’t allow us to use it more. The area is lovely with some nice walks near by. We loved the log burner which was perfect for having a drink in front of in the evening. Spacious drive way to park our car, small tidy garden and a informative booklet about the cottage and local area. For what we were looking for we couldn’t have asked for much more! Thanks for a great stay Ian!"

"Had the best few nights away in this cosy house! The house was perfect and comfortable. We made use of the hot tub twice in the evenings which was the perfect way to unwind after a day of activities and walking! Ian was very helpful and provided lots of local information. Would definitely stay again!!"

"I was apprehensive about booking due to covid, but I spoke with Ian beforehand who was really friendly and he offered me help and reassurance, as I’d also never booked on AirBNB either. The cottage itself was absolutely perfect for our stay, an amazing location with stunning views, with Anglesey, Llanberis, Bedgelert and other beautiful towns less than 20-30 mins drive. The cottage was impeccably clean. I was unsure what to expect from the eco hot tub, my 9 year old loves the bubbles but I assured her it would be amazing - oh my days we are converted and will never want a bubbly one again! Sitting outside with a mountain view, the birds singing, the gentle wooshing of the stream and the most amazing smell from the wooden tub, it was absolutely heavenly. I wasn’t sure if the hot tub was shared, I think this may have changed recently as the garden is now fenced off from the neighbours though there is still a gate, but the two neighbouring cottages have hot tubs at the front and Siabod has one at the rear, so it was for our personal use which was great. We will most definitely return to this perfect, stunning location. Other points to note on the cottage - beautifully clean bathroom with a fab dual head power shower, dishwasher, fridge and large freezer available for use, the log burner wasn’t required as the weather was gorgeous but that’s also a wonderful feature, and there was a delicate balance of lovely mindfulness books and WiFi and a Netflix account to keep everyone happy and entertained! We ordered from Asda to be delivered on the day of our arrival and there were no issues there at all. Absolutely perfect place to stay, and I’m fussy :)"
