Riverbank Cottage

Riverbank Cottage is one of a row of traditional longhouse cottages situated on the edge of the small village of Capel Curig in a quiet, secluded spot. It has an open plan kitchen / lounge / diner with a modern fitted kitchen and a multifuel stove in an inglenook fireplace. There is a modern shower room with double shower cubicle, and a four poster bed in the master bedroom, which has delightful views of the river Llugwy running along the bottom of the garden.

On the doorstep there is a local shop with a cafe as well as 3 specialist outdoor shops, along with pubs and footpaths galore into the surrounding hills and valleys. Just down the road is the Welsh National Mountain centre of Plas-y-Brenin with its indoor climbing wall, dry ski slope, indoor swimming pool, canoeing and kayaking lake and other facilities. This all provides an excellent location for touring, relaxing, hill walking, rock climbing, canoeing/kayaking, mountain biking and other adventurous activities. Arguably the best location from which to explore Snowdonia.

Accommodation Facilities: Modern fitted solid oak kitchen with gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fitted fridge, freezer, kettle, toaster and fully supplied with all kitchenware etc. Washing machine and drying space in utility. Cosy living area with feature inglenook fireplace, multifuel stove, comfortable seating area, satellite TV (free to view channels only*) / DVD (with selection of around 50 films) and a selection of games, books and puzzles for all ages. Comfortable dining area with a dining table and chairs. (*Please note I am reliably informed that if you have satellite TV at home with pre-paid viewing, you can take your card with you and swap it with ours for the duration of your stay and so enjoy your usual complement of TV channels, but don't forget to swap them back before you leave.).

Two bedrooms: Bedroom 1 - double room with draped four poster and window seat looking down the garden to the river, wardrobe with hanging space and drawers. Bedroom 2 - triple bunk (small double on bottom, single on top) with wardrobe and drawers. Bed linen is provided in the costs quoted. Towels can be provided at an extra charge per person. A small modern shower room with W/C and walk in contemporary double shower cubicle.

Garden with grassed area running down to the river with garden furniture (Please note the garden is not fully enclosed and therefore may not suitable for very young children or wanderlust dogs.). There is off road parking for one vehicle outside cottage (please note, the parking is a bit tight and some people prefer to park larger vehicles in the nearby car park). There is parking for additional vehicles in free public car park very nearby (60yds walk).

A folder with manuals for everything in the cottage is provided with clear explanations for operation of central heating etc. and a visitor's book for guest's comments.
