Bwthyn Ysgubor is hidden in verdant pasture near the banks of the Afon Conwy river as it winds its way through its incredibly scenic valley. Converted in 2025, the cottage sits in its own well stocked walled garden with flowers, vegetables and espalier fruit trees. The world famous Bodnant Gardens are nearby so there must be something in the air or soil around here!
PLEASE NOTE: the woodfired sauna is only available for bookings arriving after 1st January 2026

Full Description
The cottage is simple and well considered; the gable facing up the valley is glazed from floor to apex so that the light and views are maximised from the ground floor or the mezzanine bedroom above. Eco-friendly materials such as lime plaster and Welsh wool insulation, Welsh slate and local stone have been used wherever possible; this is a house which has immediately settled into its landscape.
There are two bedrooms, one on each floor with the ground floor bedroom being a king (which can be made up as twin beds on request) with an adjacent shower room, while the King sized bedroom upstairs has both the bed and the freestanding bath positioned to make the most of the Conwy Valley views. The living area is open plan and sociable and flooded with light.
The gardens are of course a highlight, specimen plants, a fountain and estate fencing create the feeling of a formal garden on a small scale and are a delightful space to wander in or just to sit and relax. The owners live nearby but the cottage and garden are for the cottage guests' use only (The gardener and the owners may occasionally work on the gardens to keep them looking their best.)

Location
The medieval town of Conwy is at the mouth of the valley. As well as the incredible 13th century castle, you can easily spend a day or two here exploring the narrow streets, waterfront and other historic buildings. Llandudno is also nearby, with a wonderful promenade, pier and the Great Orme. It is also the main shopping town with a big M&S.
Nearer to home, there are several walks you can take directly from Bwthyn, including one down to the river bank.
Bodnant Garden is just two miles south of us by car or bike.
North Wales has many lovely beaches and one of the best – and least known - is nearby, just outside of Conwy (Morfa Conwy). Miles of sandy beach, clear water, rarely busy and a pub at the start / end.
A few miles south of Bwthyn Ysgubor, are Llanrwst and Betws y Coed offering a wealth of outdoor activities (our favourites are cycling on the gravel tracks of Gwydir Forest (excellent bike hire from Llanrwst), walking around Llyn Crafnant (easy 2.5 miles) and, when our children were younger, the treetop adventure just north of Betws y Coed). Eyryi (Snowdon) is a bit further on and has many superb walks & hiking trails. Bounce Below and Zip World are also both within easy reach.
There are some excellent art galleries (including the Royal Cambrian), great pubs (the award winning traditional 'Albion' in Conwy is one of our favourites) and fantastic restaurants, from fine dining at the Bryn Williams restaurant at Porth Eirias to great local food at Dylans
