A striking period property on a south-facing hillside overlooking Dolgellau, with views towards Cadair Idris (7.5 miles), one of the many jewels strewn across Snowdonia National Park. Dog-owning groups can spread themselves thinly across this home-from-home’s spacious living areas, conservatory or two separate gardens between trips to coastal or inland attractions.
Llety Heulog literally means “sunny accommodation” and this cottage’s bright and airy rooms are blessed with period features, contemporary decor and soft furnishings. The ground floor’s living area offers plenty of space for group gatherings, while its blue shaker-style kitchen/diner is perfect for culinary indulgences, especially on warmer mornings when you can throw open its French doors to reveal the stunning mountainscape beyond. The conservatory eagerly awaits afternoon nappers and bookworms, while the utility room stands ready to take care of muddy clothes and boots. A family bathroom sits between the ground floor and first floor, the latter being home to a twin bedroom, a bunk bedroom and a king-size bedroom with views towards Cadair Idris. The cottage’s split-level garden comprises an attractive unenclosed patio beside the house and a separate enclosed patio and lawned area farther down.
Several hillside footpaths and cycling paths run virtually from outside the property. It’s only 0.5 miles to Dolgellau, one of North Wales’s most beautiful market towns, with shops, cafes and dog-friendly pubs aplenty. Cadair Idris (7.5 miles) epitomises the beauty of South Snowdonia and the journey to its summit alone will stay long in the memory. Dogs are welcome on the beach at Barmouth, a pretty coastal village typical of those found across the Llŷn Peninsula.
