Flanked by magnificent beauty spots on either side, this rural retreat offers a fabulous base for couples seeking outdoor adventure in the Snowdonia National Park and the vibrant Dee Valley. Situated on a 9-acre estate with a wildlife sanctuary, natural lake and games room on site, this former dairy cottage offers a cosy bolthole for two guests to relax and unwind. As well as plenty of shared spaces to explore, the holiday home offers an extraordinarily spacious interior with more than enough room for two and a private patio with your very own hot tub, the very best place to soak and stargaze after a long day filled with adventure.

The inside of this cottage has been decorated with so much character, featuring statement-coloured furniture and unique artwork throughout. The open-plan living space encourages nights of relaxation, with French doors leading out into the patio on summer nights and a thoroughly equipped kitchen for creating dishes to be savoured indoors or out. The lounge area features a selection of soft seating, a TV and a wood burner with logs ready and waiting for you to get cosy straight away. Heading back through the entranceway, a double bedroom and a family bathroom await to complete the accommodation offering.

You’re only 4 miles from the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and 10 miles from the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB, so there’s never a shortage of outdoor excursions to be had throughout this stay. Head 8.5 miles to Bala, a historic town on the edge of the Bala Lake. Along with the beautiful scenery that surrounds the lake itself, Bala is an enlivened town with an independent theatre and shops to explore. Discover the Bala Adventure Centre (9 miles) and the local National White Water Centre (7 miles), both offering guided activity days amongst the surrounding scenery.

We had a wonderful stay! Perfect location for exploring North Wales. Cottage was fantastic, so so peaceful and was fantastic to wake up to views over the Welsh countryside. We did not get to use the hot tub (unfortunately!) as was rather windy when we stayed but would have no hesitation in recommending and know we will stay here again when back in Read morethe area.

My partner and I came to this property after our wedding. The setting was stunning and a fantastic way to spend a few nights. Even in the middle of February the hot tub was delightful and the views were spectacular. The owners were friendly and responsive to all queries. Fantastic value for money and we will definitely come back in future.

Lovely cottage in a wonderful, very peaceful setting. We enjoyed the views over the surrounding countryside and loved relaxing in the spacious living area.
