Bodlondeb will accommodate 11/12 people in comfort and has been sensitively renovated to provide a pleasant bright airy interior while retaining the original character of the house.

Discover the famous Pont-y-Pair bridge, spanning the surging waters of the picturesque River Llugwy, just a stone's throw from the property on the quiet B5106 road to Gwydir Castle.
The drive has parking for three or four cars and is only a few minutes walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants in the village,without the need to use a car, just park up, relax and unwind.
N.B Parking: Please reverse on to the drive for safety reasons, so that you leave the drive in a forward direction. 2 cars can park parallel with the cottage and either 1 or 2 cars can park straight on to the front of the garage.
The parking is not ideal but it is the best that we can do, as we are in a conservation area in a national park and we are not permitted to make any changes due to planning constraints.
However, there is free on road parking less than a 1 minute walk around the corner from the cottage, or there is a public car park within a 3 minute walk from the cottage at Pont-y-pair bridge (Fee payable, low cost after 6.pm and overnight)
