Llety Mawr

Llety Mawr is an end-of-row cottage in the newly renovated stable block of Craflwyn Hall. The stables were built at the heart of the 200-acre Craflwyn estate in the 1890s, and now offer comfortable, characterful holiday cottages in a landscape criss-crossed with trails and full of wildlife.

Llety Mawr’s front door opens into a cosy living room, with comfortable places to sit by the original fireplace. The cottage has a light-filled kitchen with a large dining table.

From the living room, a stone spiral staircase leads up to the family bathroom and three bedrooms – one double and two twins. The double has a door leading out onto original stone steps, and all the bedrooms have skylight windows.

The cottages back onto woodland, with walks from the doorstep and endless space to run around and explore the surrounding landscape. There are benches at the front of the row, shared with the neighbouring cottages.

Beddgelert village is less than a mile away, and another short walk leads to Dinas Emrys. This hill is famous as the site of a legendary battle between two dragons, one white and one red, perhaps the best known of the myths that abound in this area. There are many trails to follow in Craflwyn and Beddgelert, passing waterfalls, lakes, wild heath and wooded valleys, and a path leading to Yr Wyddfa's (Snowdon’s) summit from the next village, Nant Gwynant.

Llety Mawr is next to six other National Trust cottages: Sygun (sleeps two), Dinas Emrys (sleeps two), Aran (sleeps two), Stabl Bach (sleeps four), Yr Hen Swyddfa (sleeps four) and Bwthyn Mai (sleeps three) which are behind Craflwyn Hall (sleeps 16). Larger groups of up to 39 could book multiple cottages.

Plastic Free Yr Wyddfa: Plastic Free Yr Wyddfa is an initiative organised by Eryri National Park to protect the mountain’s sustainable future. This cottage, and all National Trust holiday cottages in the national park have been awarded silver status in this plastic-free business programme, and we are making changes to work towards gold status.
