Established as a quarry mans ale house, then called the Ship Inn. From horse draw delivery of slate to the exporting ships on the coast, up until steam train delivery ceasing in the 1960's this property remained set up as a place for hard working men to take refreshment. Improved and lovingly maintained by myself it is now a romantic character cottage, retaining all of its original features. The inglenook fire place blends in with slate topped kitchen units and cosy bedrooms, with toilet and shower upstairs and luxurious bathroom on the ground floor in where the ale used to be kept. Through the rear windows the summit of Snowdon is in majestic view as it is from the decked area at the side of Ship. There is a large parking area to the rear of the cottage and a lock up shed to hold bicycles and canoes. Activity holidays are encouraged although not obligarory as it is a brilliant place to come and relax. Shops are available within walking distance as to are local Inns and eating houses. The village of Llanrug is predominantly Welsh speaking and they are just waiting to say croeso y cymru. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33660000/33650700/33650642/f7a39334.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Traditional stone built cottage with fantastic view of lake and mountains Nr Llanberis, Gwynedd - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Barbecue grill 9.2 Wonderful 77 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=33650642&PinnedHotelID=33650642&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/81000000/80030000/80021300/80021209/2a91a01a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kingfisher Cottage- river, rambling and relaxing, in a beautiful holiday park Caernarfon - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 8.4 Very good 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=80021209&PinnedHotelID=80021209&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/47000000/46010000/46001400/46001326/1689cf74.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Moryn.

Aug 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A treasure off the beaten path This cottage is a gem, as is its owner, Basil Rose. His loving renovation of the property makes it shine with welcome and comfort. It is unique in the best possible way, like finding a fairy house in the woods. It is a rural location with grazing sheep across the road but within walking distance or a short drive to amenities. We so enjoyed returning to this lovely cottage after a day of exploring the gorgeous areas all around us. ##### Patricia K. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter G.

Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mhari D. Sep 26, 2018 #### Ship Cottage Ship Cottage, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales,is truly a gem of a holiday rental. Whether the visitor wishes to climb, walk, drive, or simply escape for some much-needed rest and recuperation, this delightful cottage provides the perfect base. Would make a brilliant honeymoon stay after all the hassle of a wedding! The exterior of the cottage and grounds remind you of yesteryear with its stone built facade and dry-stone walling. Whilst the interior maintains the historic ambience, it also provides all the bang-up-to-date mod cons that one would expect in one's own home. An added bonus is that the cottage has been lovingly restored by Basil, the owner, a welcoming and caring host. It is not just an empty house, anyone choosing this would immediately feel at home, and I would not hesitate to recommend Ship Cottage as the perfect holiday rental, Mhari. ##### Mhari D.

Basil the owner was on site to meet us on arrival, his attention to detail really shows and the cottage was spotlessly clean. Basil lives nearby so if you have any problems it’s easy to contact him.
