Set within Snowdonia National Park, this countryside bolthole is the ultimate tranquil retreat for couples looking for a romantic getaway walking some of southern Snowdonia’s most stunning mountain ranges.
Beneath the traditional stone exterior, you’ll find a haven for comfort and tranquillity in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The soothing natural colour palette and comfy sofa ensure the cosiest of nights in, with the contemporary kitchen providing plenty of space for you to rustle up some locally sourced treats to enjoy seated around the dining table that’s perfectly placed for the best views across the estuary.

Embrace your wonderful surroundings and estuary views by dining alfresco on the slate gravel terrace before star gazing way past bedtime with a glass of something chilled.
