Explore the trails and hikes of the Snowdonia National Park from this fabulous couple’s getaway, a smart, first-floor barn conversion in an idyllic location near Dolgellau which enjoys majestic mountain views.
Stone steps lead you up to the front door of this architect-designed apartment, which has high, sloping ceilings and characterful old beams. Once inside it’s all on one level, featuring an open-plan living space that includes a small but perfectly formed kitchen with everything you’ll need to conjure up delicious holiday meals. There’s a dining table for two and comfortable seating around a Smart TV, all made super-cosy in the winter months with underfloor heating. The double bedroom is a welcoming haven, with beautiful timber furniture and skylight views, and has a sleek en-suite with a shower over the bath and a deep window seat. The shared garden outside has a picnic table from which you can relish the surrounding scenery while enjoying a treat grilled on the BBQ, and if you bring sports equipment it can be stored in the shared lockable shed.
The apartment is perfectly located for enjoying the great outdoors, with direct access to a selection of hikes and cycle trails and just 1.5 miles from Coed y Brenin Forest, with its woodland walks and waterfalls. To climb Cadair Idris, the highest and one of the most popular peaks in Southern Snowdonia, head to Ty Nant, 11 miles, and the start of the Minffordd path, while the underground adventures of the slate caverns at Zip World LLechwedd are 15 miles. The market town of Dolgellau is 9 miles, the beaches of Abermaw and Fairbourne are around 15 miles, and the magnificent ruined coastal fortress of Harlech Castle is 18 miles.
