This stone cottage in Snowdonia National Park will suit hiking, mountain biking and horse riding enthusiasts alike. Located on a working sheep farm with the homeowner’s bed and breakfast nearby, you wouldn’t know that the market town, Dolgellau is only a forty-minute walk away. Historically, it was known for the woollen and tanning industry. It is now known for having the oldest cricket club in Wales but, more prominently, Cadair Idris’ base camp. If you’re more of a beachgoer, take the great Mawddach trail down to the seaside town of Barmouth – less than a twenty-minute drive from home. You’re also a half-hour drive from the largest lake in Wales – Llyn Tegid. And after an explorative day full of adventure, return to your cosy cottage with heaps of bucolic charm. Stoke up the fire and settle down for a lovely evening under the wooden beamed ceilings. We especially love the farmhouse style doors and warm wooden furniture – you’d think you were in the farmhouse itself. The quaint country-style kitchen is the perfect place to prepare your picnic and graze on the groomed meadow outside. Even with so much to do, why not get the most of the peaceful space and... focus on a spot R&R?

About Snowdonia
Mountains, lakes, wooded valleys and picture-postcard villages. We’re not in the Alps – this is Wales, and it’s as rugged and just about as exhilarating as you want it to be. Snowdonia National Park is a hiker’s paradise and home to Wales’ biggest lake and highest mountain.
