We stayed in Manaros during January whilst visiting our daughter who has a shop in the village. The cottage is lovely and well placed to enjoy the amenities of the village, being a short walk to everything. The entrance has ample room for shoes and boots and is a tiled floor which made it easy to brush up mud. There are useful hooks for coats anRead mored bags. The lounge was comfortable with a sofa and couple of easy chairs. The TV only had freeview and no access to pay channels but we got round this using a laptop. The dining table could easily seat six. The kitchen was well appointed with microwave, dishwasher and fridge as well as cooker. There was plenty of room for two people to work in the kitchen at the same time. A good range of kitchen utensils. The upstairs was again, beautifully appointed with a very comfortable bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables that were large enough to accommodate all the stuff I usually take with me! The second bedroom we used as an overflow for clothes and cushions (there were a lot of these!) but was a good sized single. The bathroom was a reasonable size with the best shower I have experienced in a rental cottage. So often it's pathetic but this one was fabulous. The back garden was not large but enough to for our dog to get some fresh air. It wasn't secure by our standards because there is an alleyway down the side of the house that leads to the road with a gate that our dog could jump but for smaller dogs it would have been fine. All in all, this was a great cottage, in a superb location that I wouldn't hesitate booking again. Hide

Lovely little cottage with all we needed for a relaxing few days. Travelled with one dog so the garden was a bonus. Ideal location for all amenities, shops, restaurants and bars and all within a 5 minute stroll. Situated by a river with stunning views and lovely woodland walks, Swallow Falls was spectacular especially in the Autumn!

Manaros is a very comfortable cottage in a fabulous location for all the amenities of Betws-y-coed. We found it to be an excellent base for exploring Snowdonia, and there are many opportunities to participate in activities that do not even require driving further afield. While it operated on a limited time table, the journeys from the local stationRead more were a great way to enjoy a picturesque train ride. We would highly recommend Manaros as a great place for a holiday. Hide

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful Snowdonian village. Was clean and fresh (not tired like at least one review suggests). A bit of everything supplied (toilet paper, soap, dishwasher tabs etc).

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Manaros as we find it ideal for walking into the village and local walks. Lovely comfortable cottage, had an issue with the Freesat box but immediately the owner ordered an updated new one and the lovely caretaker & husband came the day after and installed it, big thank you!
