And on wintery days, get cosy with tea for two beside the log-burning stove. There's Netflix at the ready to crash out with a film, although those breathtaking views might be all the entertainment you need. When it's time for adventure, don your walking boots or hop on your bike to voyage through the glorious landscapes of the Snowdonia National Park – there are footpaths and cycle tracks aplenty here.
