The Bothy at Coch Hir

This is the kind of secret place that you want so much to keep gently, but tight in your cupped hands. Denise and her partner Nick have created a magical retreat, the Bothy is for us, Simon and I, like coming home . And so we must share with you, and know when you visit you will feel the same.

Beautiful stay, we’ve been twice now because we love the rural setting and its location it’s in a great position with Llanberis being a 10min drive down the road. Brilliant cycling, hiking routes and pubs on the doorstep! Lovely hosts too!

We had the most restful stay at the bothy taking in beautiful sunsets and mountain views. Denise and Nick were the perfect hosts who made us most welcome and left us to our own devices. They have created a little haven for wildlife (and horses, and cats) in the beautiful landscape of snowdonia. It's perfectly situated for mountain walks or coastal trips and we were spoilt for choice for places to visit. The bothy had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and I enjoyed discovering all the little details that have gone into making the bothy unique.

We had a great stay at Denise’s bothie, couldn’t ask for a better host. The location was fantastic, very close to Snowdon and many other hills, mountains and lakes to explore. The bothie had everything you could need, and appreciated the local food Denise had left out for us. We would like to visit again in the future, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore Snowdonia!

Our second visit to the Bothy was every bit as lovely as the first. The place is beautifully appointed and every detail is well thought through. We specially loved watching the sunset from the slate terrace. Denise is a very welcoming but unobtrusive host. The local area is full of a variety of attractions - beaches, mountains, birdwatching, archaeology. We focused on Anglesey as it often has the sunnier weather. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
