Excellent place to stay. Modernised to a very high standard in a very private position but still easily within walking distance of the village of Beddgelert and it's amenities. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Great mountain views and a twice a day chance to see the steam trains pass the property at the bottom of the property drive. Would highly recommend.
This was our second visit to this wonderful cottage. It is absolutely perfect, beautifully maintained and in the most stunning setting. Our hosts couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s perfectly located for an easy walk into Beddgelert. We just absolutely love it and will be back again very soon.
This is such a gem of a property. It's in a great location, secluded but only a 10 minute walk to Bedgelert. The house is beautiful and well equipped, the views are stunning and an added bonus is the steam train goes right by the front garden, with a second glimpse out of the side window as it loops back round. To access the property you need to open two gates and cross the railway line, which was perfectly safe but just took a bit of extra time. Instructions from the host were very clear and we had no problems finding or accessing the property. Would highly recommend staying here.
Such a cosy, comfortable and well maintained cottage with stunning views. Booking and check in was very easy and communication with the host was excellent. We are booking again!
Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful, comfortable and very clean accommodation in a quiet location yet a lovely 10 minute walk into Beddgelert. We enjoyed the mountain view( even in the rain), sheep, sound of cuckoo birds and the creek but the daily highlight was the heritage steam train!
Absolutely brilliant, the location is surrounded by nature but only a 10 minute walk to the village shops & pubs. Really comfy bed, well equipped kitchen, modern and spotlessly clean.
Would highly recommend and will be booking another trip in future
A gorgeous property presented to the highest standard. Within walking distance of beddgelert and right on the steam train's route. We loved it will be coming back.
We’ve had a fantastic stay. The house is warm and welcoming, beds are really comfortable and the welcome treats were extremely thoughtful and generous. The views are really lovely and the hosts are really friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend enough
My two friends and I stayed for a week, and enjoyed the property for its bucolic setting and central location to places we wished to visit. Making friends with the sheep was an added bonus, as well as the little train that passes a few times a day .
Just the most idyllic property and location! Our third time here and we will be returning. Spotless house that caters for your every need and those views - wow just wow!
We stayed for 4 nights, and it was wonderful. Very quiet, just far enough off the beaten track. Charming little steam train along the bottom of the garden once a day. Accommodation very clean and welcoming.
We really enjoyed our vacation. The accommodation is very nice and modern. The view of nature is fantastic and the beautiful Beddgelert is only a 10-minute walk away. A clear number one.
Stayed at Derwen Fach for 7 nights from 26th December 2023, stunning location, spectacular views, beautiful house, decor & layout spot on. Easy 10 minute walk into Beddgelert, would definately recommend & return 👍
A perfect base to explore Snowdonia National Park.
Absolutely loved our stay in Derwen Fach. It’s a beautiful, modern barn conversation that has everything you need as a base for exploring all that the Snowdonia National Park has to offer. Amazing views from the living room, a cracking log burner to keep you toasty on colder nights, and great communication (and welcome pack) from our hosts. We would definitely stay again!
A great barn conversion sitting amongst several mountains. Short walk into Beddgelert, which is lovely. Steam trains pass by several times a day. A truly brilliant stay.
Climb Moel Hebog if you dare.
Third time here now and we love the place. Great views and excellent property all round. Nothing too much trouble for the owners who respond quickly to any queries.
