This charming stone cottage retreat offers all the creature comforts of home in a tranquil rural setting. With characterful original features and a roaring wood burner, it’s the ideal base for a family to explore Snowdonia National Park.

Store your coats and boots in the hallway, then proceed to the lounge/diner, featuring an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, and stonework. The galley kitchen is small but perfectly formed, with everything a holiday chef could need. You’ll also find a second fridge/freezer in the garage. A creative rock garden can be accessed from the kitchen. After dinner, unwind on the sofas, watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV and light the wood burner for a cosy evening. Upstairs, the delightful double bedroom offers lovely views to wake up to. There’s also a bunk bedroom that children are sure to adore. A gleaming white family bathroom completes the internal layout. Outside, relax on the bench seating at the front of the property for morning coffee or use the table, chairs, and charcoal BBQ on the paved area near the garage for al fresco dining. Cyclists and canoe enthusiasts can make use of the lockable garage for their equipment.

Lovely cosy cottage in a quiet location off the beaten track. The log burner was an added bonus and we used it even though it was August. The kitchen was very well equipped and the cottage furnished very tastefully. It was well situated a near an A road. We looked forward to coming back every evening after being out all day. We went to the Bryn ArmRead mores, which is walkable, for a tasty meal out. Overall - we really enjoyed our stay in the cottage - it had everything we needed for our holiday. . Hide

The cottage has its own parking up a very narrow lane,the cottage itself is ideal for a couple but very dark inside.There is heating in the living room from an electric heater,but we found the heating was wasted because it went in to the upstairs of the property.Possibly could have a heat deflector put above it,to deflect the heat into the living rRead moreoom.Good bus service into Porthmadog .

Absolutely lovely, especially having the log burner- lovely and cosy as the weather was cold. Love how this cottage has been thoughtfully renovated whilst retaining its charm and character. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is fabulous for exploring north wales.

Our stay made better by the most comfortable clean bed we have ever slept in whilst away from home.. Coal and wood added expense because we visited in winter. Beautiful scenery and easy to find nearby towns for shopping..
