Bristling with off-beat rustic charm, this cosy restored stone barn nearby the stunning Berwyn Mountains is the perfect place to explore the Welsh countryside. And while its stone walls and exposed beams offer a certain old-world appeal, underfloor heating and fast broadband ensure this home has modern trappings too. Wake up among the sheep, cows, and birds, and start your day dining alfresco on the outside terrace (perhaps grilling something delicious up on the barbecue) and soaking in those magnificent mountain views. Nearby, you can hike and cycle to your heart's content around the Welsh countryside. If you’re feeling adventurous, the entrance to Snowdonia National Park is only a fifteen-minute drive away, while a forty-minute drive will take you right to mighty Snowdon mountain itself. South of Snowdon mountain, you can conquer the peaks of Cader Idris, Aran Fawddwy, and Berwyn – all under an hour's drive away. Meanwhile, the gorgeous Lake Bala and the nearby village of Bala are only ten minutes away by car. At night, settle down by the fire pit and enjoy those clear, peaceful skies, before snuggling down inside onto the couch with a warming brew and if you can find it, a sweet slice of Bara birth – a traditional Welsh tea bread.

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. After you’ve tackled Snowdon (we won’t tell if you take the little train), there are countless other peaks and trails to explore, many...
