A peaceful bolthole for two in an idyllic location offers a wonderful introduction to the beautiful landscape of southern Snowdonia. A stream flows past the patio of this cosy cottage and there are wonderful scenic walks and cycle trails from the front door. The nearby village of Abergynolwyn (1.5 miles), has a pub, cafe and post office, while the coast at the seaside town of Tywyn is 7.5 miles distant.
Set on a working farm, the charming stone-built property adjoins the owner’s farmhouse. It is furnished in a traditional country style and full of character, with ceiling beams in the lounge and bedroom. The pretty kitchen/diner has lovely views of the surrounding countryside and there is a handy utility room for boots and coats. Put your feet up on reclining sofas in the inviting lounge, which provides a TV, DVD and books for those cosy nights in. Upstairs is the large, king-size bedroom, with beautiful views, and a spacious shower room. Outside, a patio area with a picnic table overlooking the stream is perfect for a morning coffee.
From Abergynolwyn, catch a steam train on the delightful Tal-y-Llyn narrow gauge railway, which runs through glorious scenery down to the sea at Tywyn. En-route, stop off at the famous Dolgoch Falls to see spectacular waterfalls cascading down a mountain ravine into a deep pool below. Pretty Tywyn has shops, restaurants, and a long, sandy beach, with a promenade. Pick up the Wales Coast Path for a splendid 4-mile walk to Aberdyfi. This picturesque village also has a golden beach, ideal for water sports and boat trips. Visit tranquil Tal-y-Lyn lake (3 miles) or for a more challenging adventure, walk the 12-mile circular route that takes in Castell y Bere, a 13th-century castle, and the rocky outcrop of Craig yr Aderyn.
