The Experience
Denise’s Bothy is a one-off: chock a block with interesting stuff and infused with her warmth and creativity. Solid, small and simple it hunkers happily on its hillside overlooking golden green fields to Anglesey (a 15-minute drive) with the mountains of Snowdonia standing sentry behind. You can climb the largest mountain in Wales – Snowdon – from Llanberis (two miles away) or lazy loafs can take the train! There’s heaps of other outdoorsy things to do: kayaking, paddle boarding, white water rafting; or potter round a National Trust spot – Plas Newydd or Bodnant Gardens are lovely. Head home to get cosy by the wood-burner, fix supper in the narrow kitchen then up to the low raftered mezzanine to sleep deeply in a chunky bed (made by Denise) covered with a nostalgic patchwork quilt. Quirky and characterful: find rope and branch handrails, lime plaster walls and rugged larch floors. Pots of colourful flowers border the lawn, animals mooch about, the scent of herbs wafts through the kitchen window. A rural retreat for a laid-back couple (if you’re looking for mod cons and manicured perfection you won’t find it here) between the mountains and the sea.

We really enjoyed our stay in the bothy. It has been well renovated and is full of rustic charm. It contains everything needed for a comfortable stay. The setting is lovely in the foothills of Snowdonia and it catches the evening sun on the patio area. The wood-burning stove makes for a cosy evening indoors or there are restaurants and pubs in nearby Llanberis and Caernarfon. It is ideally situated for an active holiday in the mountains or for more leisurely sightseeing around the historic and archaeological sites. Not ideal for persons of limited mobility. Would definitely recommend it.

My Wife, Son and I came to stay at The Bothy for two nights to celebrate our first Wedding Anniversary. We fell in love with the place very quickly, it's an enchanting, quaint place inside and out with magnificent surroundings and lots to do. Denise and her family are so welcoming and hospitable it was hard to leave and we wish we had booked to stay longer! We will definitely be back in the future and would highly recommend booking a stay here to anyone!

We had an amazing time at the Bothy ! such a magical and warm place to rest and be close to nature that surrounds you. Denise is lovely and has helped us organizing our visits. It's perfectly located to hike on Snowdon and to discover the beautiful beaches of Anglesey. A must !

We had a lovely stay at the bothy ( which is handy for beaches and mountains.. ) Pity we didn t have warm sunny evenings as the sunset from the little slate terrace at the rear of the property was beautiful and would have made a great place to raise a glass of wine. , but the stove inside kept us warm and toasty instead! Lovely friendly owners too!

Thumbs up doesn't begin to describe the joy we had from staying at the Bothy. The cottage is beautifully restored and a briljant place for self caterers who wish to explore Snowdonia. Denise is a warm hearted host, willing to share a very special place. As a bonus we had a view of the horses and daily visits from house cat Smudge. With a wood stove easy to operate we were able to create that special atmosphere that made the Bothy a "home away from home". We gladly recommend this place to everyone who loves Wales!
