Talyfan Mountain near Conwy Beaches in Wales

What a beautiful spot! We honestly hear this all the time. Here we sit, 8 cottages sleeping from 2 to 8 persons at the foot of the Talyfan Mountain just 3 miles from the Conwy beaches.

You can walk from your cottage directly up the mountain where you will encounter Welsh mountain ponies roaming on the hillside with buzzards floating overhead. Explore and you will find lots of Druid history, old slate mines and one of the oldest Churches in Britain, all without even getting in your car.

Just 3 miles away the medieval walled town of Conwy with it lovely marina is one of the few towns in Europe with its walls intact and tourism journalists have voted walking the town walls as one of the top ten free things to do in Britain. Five miles away is the Victorian town of Llandudno where strict control has been in place for a hundred years or more to stop it being spoilt by over commercialism. It also has a great shopping centre with all the major name stores.
Ten miles in the other direction you will encounter the ever popular idyllic village of Betws-y-Coed with is great forest and river walks. Lots of historic places to visit from National Trust stately homes to the Edwardian castles that Edward 1 built to surround the rebellious Welsh and, of course, the famous Bodnant Gardens.

If you are after the more active holiday, there is sea and lake fishing, over 10 local golf courses, gorge walking, canoeing, mountain climbing, tree top adventure and lots more. Our cottages at Gwern Borter Manor set in 6 acres with our own horses, pet's corner, games room, cycle hire, gym and sauna offer you a great base to explore all these great activities and attractions and an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the Snowdonia National Park. We think you will have a great holiday. So come and have a break in one of Britain's great areas of natural beauty.

Hope to see you soon!

A very warm welcome to Snowdonia
In the foothills of the Snowdonia mountains in the beautiful Conwy Valley, close to the sea, there is a special place well known for it's peace and tranquility. A place to relax and unwind or enjoy the many wonderful facilities that are found within the grounds and in the Snowdonia area.
