We are the largest independent holiday letting company in North Wales. At Dioni we have a passion for the people, culture, language, countryside & coast. We have great local knowledge and understanding of each specific area and property. We are looking for a sense of authenticity when we take on a new holiday cottage. Seeking a real ‘place’ ~ somewhere with distinctive heritage and culture, which connects with the region’s unique landscapes, food and people.

The beautiful mountain village of Betws y Coed is the gateway to the mountains, forests and lakes of the Eryri National Park. Surrounded by the dense Gwydir Forest, it has an almost Alpine feel. The cottage sits on the outskirts of Betws, around half a mile from the village centre. It is an easy 10-minute walk to the many independent traders, outdoor gear shops and cafés, pubs and restaurants in the centre of the village. Betws has some very decent places to eat. You’ll also find a good number of art galleries displaying talented Welsh artists. Whatever the season, the landscapes in this part of the world are strikingly beautiful. There are countless lovely walks from the cottage, with some great circular routes to suit all ages and fitness levels. The walk out to the idyllic Llyn Elsi hidden in the Gwydir Forest is just one of our favourites. It’s definitely worth investing in a good walking guide if you like getting out to explore. You only need to step a little further out of the village to explore some of Eryri's best peaks including Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Moel Siabod, Moel Penamen, Carnedd Cribau and Y Pincin to name but a few. Eryri is the adventure capital of Europe and some of the region's most popular attractions - including Zip World, Bounce Below, Llechwedd Slate Caverns and Antur Stiniog downhill mountain biking - are just a short drive from the cottage, in Blaenau Ffestiiniog. Head a little further up the Conwy Valley from this luxury accommodation to explore Zip World Fforest, Bodnant Gardens, Conwy Castle and Llandudno. Porthmadog, Portmeirion and Criccieth, the gateway to the Llyn Peninsula, are a very pleasant short drive (around 40 mins) over the mountains. At Porthmadog you can board the Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog heritage railways to explore the region by steam. There are lots of shops to explore here, as well as very decent ice cream, fish and chips. Here's a link for more information on the local area that you might...
