The Cottage
Laurel is a dog-friendly holiday cottage sleeping four, set high in the Conwy Valley where morning light catches the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) and evening skies turn the mountains into silhouettes.
This is a cottage built for easy, unhurried stays: open-plan living where meals linger and conversations happen naturally, two calm bedrooms on a single level and a patio that draws you outside whenever the weather allows.
Laurel brings together things that are genuinely hard to find in one place: a heated indoor swimming pool, your own private hot tub with uninterrupted valley views, step-free single-level living and space for up to two dogs. Sliding glass doors keep the landscape present throughout the day, so you’re never far from the reason you came.

The Living Area
Settle in together
The open-plan living space is centred on generous glass doors framing the Conwy Valley, bringing light and views into the heart of the cottage. The fully equipped kitchen has a dining table for four beside a relaxed sitting area, where the corner sofa faces the view.
A dedicated boot room keeps coats and muddy boots contained and doubles as a quiet workspace.
The Bedrooms
Rest Easy
The light-filled master bedroom features a super-king bed and dual-aspect windows, creating a bright, airy feel throughout the day. The second bedroom offers twin beds and looks directly out across the valley to the mountains beyond.
The Bathroom
Refresh & Unwind
A contemporary bathroom featuring a deep double-ended bath and separate walk-in shower, perfect for slow starts or winding down. Soft towels and complimentary toiletries are provided.
Small in Scale. Big Where it Matters.
“Location, hosts, facilities perfection and the views are out of this world.”

The Outside
The Patio. The Hot Tub. The View.
Laurel's patio is where the valley becomes yours. Uninterrupted views sweep across to the peaks of Eryri, and the private hot tub is right at the edge of it - the kind of spot where a quick soak turns into an hour watching the mountains fade into dusk.
More about the hot tub →“Being able to sit outside and enjoy the view in the evenings was magical.”

The Indoor Pool
Yours, day & night
Reserved solely for Fig Tree and Laurel guests, so more often than not, the pool is yours alone. From rainy-day swims full of energy to peaceful early mornings in the water, it’s a space that quietly becomes a highlight of your stay.

In the heart of the valley
Laurel sits high above the Conwy Valley, with far-reaching views towards Eryri and across patchwork farmland to the North Wales coast. It feels properly rural, with quiet lanes, dark skies and very little light pollution, but it is not cut off.
Bodnant Garden is close by, Conwy and Betws-y-Coed are easy drives in opposite directions, and Llandudno, the coast and the northern edge of Eryri are all within reach for day trips. A car is essential, but the trade-off is a peaceful base that still makes exploring North Wales straightforward.

Laurel FAQS
Your questions answered
The things guests most often want to know before booking.
View all FAQs →Is Laurel’s hot tub private?
Yes. Laurel has its own private hot tub on the patio, looking out across the Conwy Valley towards Eryri. It is for Laurel guests only and is not shared with Fig Tree.
Is the indoor pool shared?
The indoor pool is shared only between Fig Tree and Laurel guests, never with the public. There are just two cottages on site, sleeping a maximum of nine guests between them, so the pool often feels very private.
How many guests does Laurel sleep?
Laurel sleeps up to four guests across two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a super-king bed and the second bedroom has twin single beds.
Is Laurel dog-friendly?
Yes. Laurel welcomes up to two dogs per stay. The cottage has direct access to the shared garden, but the patio is unfenced and the driveway gate remains open, so dogs need to be supervised outside.
Is Laurel suitable for couples?
Yes. Laurel works particularly well for couples who want more space than a one-bedroom cottage, with a super-king bedroom, open-plan living area, private hot tub and views across the valley. It is also a good option for two couples or a small family.
Is Laurel suitable for walking holidays?
Yes. Laurel is a practical base for walking holidays in North Wales, with quiet lanes from the door and Eryri, the Conwy Valley, Gwydir Forest and the coast all within easy reach by car. The boot room gives you useful space for coats, boots and outdoor kit after a day out.
Is Laurel suitable for guests with limited mobility?
Laurel is single-level inside, with no internal stairs. There are standard thresholds and the bathroom has a separate walk-in shower as well as a bath. The hot tub, pool and garden are not fully accessible, so please read our Accessibility Guide or contact us if you have specific requirements.
Where is Laurel cottage?
Laurel is set high above the Conwy Valley near Eglwysbach, North Wales. Bodnant Garden is close by, with Conwy, Betws-y-Coed, Llandudno, the coast and the northern edge of Eryri all within easy reach by car.
Do you need a car to stay at Laurel?
Yes, a car is essential. The cottage is in a rural hillside location reached by quiet country lanes, which is part of what makes the setting peaceful. Once you are here, it works well as a base for exploring North Wales.
