Set in 9 acres of glorious countryside, this stylish and sophisticated, 19th-century barn is the ultimate romantic retreat, perfect for couples keen to explore Snowdonia National Park and the dramatic countryside, historic towns and pretty villages North Wales is famous for.

Flooded with plenty of natural sunlight, embrace wonderful rural views from the comfort of the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-from-home. Boasting neutral hues that perfectly blend into the colours of the local landscape, a roaring feature wood burner and stylish homely touches, this endlessly cosy space is as ambient as it is warming, beckoning tired travellers to unwind and dine well after sunset. On a fine evening, throw open the patio doors to relax to the sound of birdsong carried through the breeze. The double bedroom is an oasis of calm to retire to after washing off a day on the trails in the elegant en-suite shower room. Outside, dine alfresco with a glass of something chilled on the patio before venturing around the 9 acres of shared grounds; a games barn, wildlife sanctuary, large natural lake and wildflower meadow await to be discovered.

We arrived to a festive, cosy but spacious cottage with a lovely welcome gift, thank you. Waking up to the views each morning was a blessing. We had some sunny days which meant a sky full of stars at night. The cottage has everything you need to feel at home. We particularly enjoyed the wood burner to unwind after being outdoors. We would recommendRead more the Precipice Walk (thanks Gail), Llyn Brenig and Bala. This was our 3rd Stay and we will definitely be back. Thanks Gail and Jerry, perfect! Hide

For a north wales holiday/getaway there is no better place. Cottage is situated near to all the link roads but it is totally quiet in its placement. Awesome views, nice grounds, modern appliances, comfort throughout. Gail and Jerry are on hand if needed and greeted us on arrival however do not interfere with too much which is a lovely balance. Hot Read moretub is a great added bonus to what is an already excellent property Hide

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and most importantly quiet and peaceful - beautiful setting, close to many lovely places a short drive away. The owners were very kind and helpful and provided excellent sight-seeing tips. We loved staying there and didn't want to leave. Highly recommended.
