Property code: OC-BOW251

Retreat to this characterful cottage on a working hill farm and enjoy its tranquil setting and gorgeous mountain views. With versatile sleeping accommodation for families or small groups, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring the countryside, beaches, castles and attractions of both Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula.

Beautifully designed to blend old and new, the 400-year-old converted farmhouse has a spacious country-style kitchen with a sofa for flopping on while chatting to the cook. After supper, the lounge is a cosy place in which to relax, with exposed beams, a TV and a stone inglenook with an open fire, or you can head into the snug and curl up with a book in complete quiet. There’s also a sleek wet room on the ground floor, while upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms, all with superb views - a king-size, a double and a super-king-size (twin on request) - sharing a family bathroom. Go through the south-facing sun room at the front of the property and you’ll find yourselves on the patio, part of the enclosed garden which is surrounded by open farmland. For cyclists, there’s an outbuilding in which bikes can be stored securely.

The cottage is set on a hilltop overlooking Cardigan Bay and, for meals out, the nearest good pub can be found 3 miles away at Bryncir; travel a further 6 miles to Tremadog or 7.5 miles to Porthmadog for more food choices and shopping. In the busy harbour town of Porthmadog you’ll also find a choice of no less than three narrow-gauge railways. For beach days, head to Criccieth, about 8 miles, or you may wish to drive further into the Llyn Peninsula and explore the coast and countryside of this designated area of outstanding natural beauty.

This is a superb property set high on a hillside on a working farm, with outstanding views all the way down to the estuary. The approach via narrow roads and a farm track is all part of the adventure! The enclosed garden has loads of space for games with its big lawn and large gravelled area. All the rooms are generously sized and the bathroom has Read morean excellent shower. The toilet and shower accessed through the utlity room are super smart too. We would thoroughly recommend Cwm Mawr to anyone looking for some comfortable rural seclusion. Hide

Amazing! Cwm Mawr sits in an amazing position above Porthmadog with stunning rural and coastal views. Ideally located to explore so much of what Eryri has to offer. The farmhouse is secluded and sits at the end of a farm track which was fairly easy to find after pinpointing on google maps! (///wins.lends.entitles). The farmhouse offers comfortable Read moretraditional accommodation which is clean and provides all the amenities you need. We had a relaxing and uninterrupted week enjoying the house and exploring local towns and castles! We will definately be back and thank you Non for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. Hide

We are very pleased to be able to add our praise to the many positive reviews about Cwm Mawr. We had a fabulous week in this warm, comfortable and homely farmhouse. Thank you for the welcome pack and for providing such a lovely place to stay. Everything was in place to meet our needs in terms of cooking, keeping warm and having a good night's sleepRead more! The location was perfect for exploring the mountains and gorgeous beaches nearby, though it was almost as good just staying at the farm. We would definitely recommend staying there. Hide
