Perched above the quaint village of Ganllwyd in the Coed y Brenin forest, this stone cottage provides panoramic views of the Cadair Idris mountain range and sprawling hillsides. Not only is this home surrounded by verdant lawns and luscious green views but there are countless hiking and cycling trails leading directly off your doorstep, so you’ll be sure to make the most of your rural location. Head to Dolgellau where you can take the Maddach Trail around Trawsfyndd Lake, embark on a hike up Snowdonia’s peaks, enjoy bird-spotting red kites and rare pine martens from your home’s balcony or if you’re seeking a quiet day in town, Dolgellau has a regular farmer’s market, independent boutiques and charming restaurants to enjoy. Back at home, you’ll see the love that’s gone into restoring this farmhouse. There’s a sleek kitchen, slate-tiled floors that are heated to keep toes toasty, and artisanally-crafted wood furnishings by a local carpenter. Whip up a breakfast feast with the produce you picked up from the farmer’s market in the country-style kitchen, then gather around the family-style wooden table to share ideas for the day ahead. And after you’ve spent the day down at the coast or mountain biking the nearby routes, you’ll love coming home to your cosy living room to toast your feet by the fire and share a glass of wine.
