Overview
Description
LAUREL: POOL, HOT TUB & PANORAMIC VIEWSLaurel is a dog-friendly stable conversion (sleeps 4) on the quiet edge of Bodnant Estate. With panoramic views across the valley towards the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia), it offers a peaceful base with no traffic noise. Guests enjoy 24/7 access to a heated indoor swimming pool and a private hot tub on the patio.
Dogs: Up to 2 well-behaved dogs welcome (£35 per dog per stay). Please note the boundary fencing is rural post-and-rail and not fully dog-proof.
LIVING AREA
The open-plan living space is designed to maximize the view, with large sliding doors opening onto the patio. It features a large L-shaped sofa, a Smart TV with DVD player and full central heating to keep the cottage warm year-round.
KITCHEN & DINING
The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave and a Nespresso machine (starter pods provided). The dining area comfortably seats four guests.
BOOT ROOM & WORKSPACE
Unlike many cottages, Laurel features a dedicated boot room. It is perfect for drying wet coats and muddy hiking boots. It also contains a desk and chair, providing a quiet space for remote work.
BEDROOMS (SLEEPS 4 + COT)
The cottage is single-storey, making it ideal for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.
Master Bedroom: Super-king bed, bedside reading lights and courtyard views.
Bedroom 2: Two full-sized single beds with west-facing valley views.
BATHROOM
Modern suite featuring a double-ended bath and a separate walk-in shower. Complimentary toiletries are provided.
GARDEN, HOT TUB & EV CHARGER
Your patio is the ideal place for morning coffee or evening meals, with outdoor furniture and a private hot tub overlooking the mountains. Beyond the patio, guests have access to over an acre of shared gardens.
EV Charger: Shared 7kW electric vehicle charging point on-site (pay-as-you-go via app).
SWIMMING POOL
Just across the courtyard is the indoor swimming pool. Heated year-round, the 11m pool is available 24/7 and is shared only with our one neighbouring cottage (Fig Tree), ensuring it's rarely busy. Inflatables and pool toys welcome.
LAUNDRY ROOM
Located in the courtyard, this shared facility includes a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and a library of books and games.
GROUP BOOKINGS
Laurel can be booked alongside Fig Tree (sleeps 5) to accommodate groups of up to 9 people - perfect for families who want to holiday together while retaining their own private living spaces.

Leave ReviewUnbelievable Location
By William Veevers on 11-May-2025Brilliant house in an unbelievable location in terms of views and scenery. House was also tidy with things like utensils and kitchen equipment being available and spotless. Pool and hot tub are amazing additions and Penny was a great host. We really enjoyed our stay.
Everything You Need
By Mel Wellman on 02-May-2025Fantastic cottage, everything you need. Views are just amazing, sitting listening to the sounds of nature, couldn't have wished for anything more.
Something Money Can't Buy!
By Colin Brown on 04-Apr-2025Beautiful tranquil place with the most scenic view. What better way to unwind and relax by sitting in the hot tub looking out at the stunning view. That is something money can't buy!! Peaceful nights sleep, bed was very comfy. Kitchen full equipped with everything you could possibly need. Nice clean and tidy throughout. Penny welcomed us and was very friendly. Would recommend the Bodnant for a delicious Sunday roast with locally sourced produce at a reasonable price. All round great trip. Will definitely be going back again :)

Can't Wait to Come Back!
By Helen Gale on 20-Oct-2024We had the best time as a family at the cottage, it was everything we could have wished for and so much more. The location is absolutely breath taking, I could soak i the views forever. The accommodation was spotless and had everything you needed in the kitchen and things you didn't know you did need! The pool, the hot tub, the extra thoughtful touches in with the dvd library and board games. Penny truly is a super host! I looked at this place ages before I booked it, don't delay thinking about it just do it you won't regret it. We can't wait to come back!
Lovely Base to Investigate Snowdonia
By Nick Boulter on 01-Nov-2024Staying in Laurel was lovely. The view of the mountains is magnificent and it's very peaceful. The facilities are fantastic and we really enjoyed time in the pool. Penny provided great instructions on arrival which made it very easy. We had a great week and it was a lovely base to investigate Snowdonia.
