Offering an ultra-modern walker’s retreat, this elevated stone cottage sits on the brink of the Snowdonia National Park surrounded by countryside hikes and with the coast just 4.5 miles away. Featuring a traditional stone façade and contemporary styling inside, this fantastic holiday home encourages restful breaks for two guests amongst spacious surroundings. Wake up and enjoy morning coffee outside each day, admiring the panoramic vistas in view of your garden and plotting a route filled with hikes, bike rides and other outdoor excursions whilst savouring some locally sourced goodies in a hearty, delicious breakfast.

Move through the enclosed, furnished garden space surrounded by traditional stone walls and step inside the accommodating house. Set out over two levels with a generously appointed lounge/kitchen/diner on the ground floor, you’ve got more than enough space to spread out in throughout. The light-filled living space offers a kitchen with an authentic Aga, the choice of a breakfast bar or a dining table for mealtimes and a cosy lounge nook with soft seating and a Smart TV. Upstairs, a mezzanine level offers a king-size bed beneath skylights, made for gazing up at starry night skies whilst drifting off. Completing the space, an elegant en-suite is just next door with a modern walk-in shower.

On the Cardigan Bay, the sweeping Morfa Dyffryn Beach offers fine golden sands and nature-packed dunes around 4 miles away. Admire the view out across the Llyn Peninsula and keep an eye out for dolphins moving around the bay. Also close to home, explore the scenic depths of the Llanfair Slate Caverns, a fantastic waymarked route leading through the Rhaeadr Nantcol Waterfalls (both 3 miles) and the magnificence of the Coed y Brenin Forest Park, around 20 miles away.

Gegin -Gefn is a really lovely well equipped and toasty warm cottage. It comes with the most amazing views too. The weather was kind and enabled us to watch the sun setting whilst enjoying a glass of Prosecco to celebrate our 10 week wedding anniversary. It is a perfect location for visiting other parts of Wales too. We enjoyed road trips to HarleRead morech, Porthmadog, Shell Island, and even Pwllheli (using the train, which is nearby). The owner emailed me a fabulous list of things to see, places to eat etc. Hide

Lovely comfortable accommodation Spotless right from waking through the door the whole place was very welcoming. The bed was so comfortable and we felt right at home from the start. The owners were really nice and the welcome goodies were very much appreciated thank you. I had never used an aga before but it wasn't a problem. The view from the Read morelittle private garden was so lovely we could see Snowdonia and Snowdon in the distance then out to sea. This is a working farm but it is so picturesque with the cows and calves and sheep the whole place is very clean and neat. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here. Hide
