Surrounded by rolling hills and verdant fields, this pretty stone cottage is just the ticket if you're in dire need of a calming countryside getaway. We can guarantee that you'll feel a million miles from the stresses of day-to-day life when you're admiring the scenic vista while sitting in the home's flowery garden or getting cosy by the log-burner at the end of a long day of rambling. Much of the design is as charmingly rustic as you would hope, from the exposed stone walls and the wooden kitchen to the large windows that can be opened to let in some fresh rural air.

When it comes to filling up the itinerary, there are countless walking and cycling routes nearby, including within Snowdonia National Park, the southern tip of which starts around a quarter of an hour's drive from the home. The seaside isn't too far away either — Towyn Beach takes forty minutes or so in the car.
