Riverbank
Cottage
A delightful 2 bedroom cottage located in the
centre of the Snowdonia National Park.
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.
