Snowdonia Cottage History

Lloft O.T. was originally constructed as a garage and workshop. It was built in 1928 by the manager of the Siabod quarry, who lived in one of the nearby houses. The ground floor housed the quarry truck while upstairs was used as a workshop by a joiner named O.T. Williams. One of the quarry managers children, who still lives nearby, remembers being a frequent visitor to 'lloft OT' where he sat on the workbench and learned to count and sing.

Work on converting the building into a holiday cottage began in December 2007 and in May 2008 Lloft O.T. welcomed it's first visitors as a holiday cottage.
