Overview
Property code: OC-M29608

Set at the top of Blaenau Ffestiniog, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Snowdonia National Park, featuring a hot tub and games room, this homely family-friendly rural retreat is the ultimate escape for anyone who loves nothing better than exploring breathtaking landscapes with loved ones.

Reminiscent of a traditional Welsh country cottage, boasting ceiling beams and a feature fireplace housing a roaring multi-fuel burner, the cosy lounge exudes a soothing ambience whilst perfectly echoing the rich history of the cottage. The spacious kitchen will inspire you to get creative with your local produce whilst the stylish dining room offers the perfect space to dine with loved ones long into the evening. Sharing the same charm and character as the rest of the ground floor, the en-suite double bedroom on this level provides a haven of serenity whilst the two double bedrooms upstairs feature wonderful views to wake up to. From sunrise to sunset, the tiered garden is an oasis of calm; soothe weary walking muscles in the covered hot tub, let off some steam in the games room or admire majestic views across Blaenau Ffestiniog from the comfort of the heated sunroom.

This idyllic spot overlooking Blaenau Ffestiniog is a haven for anyone looking to reconnect with the great outdoors; a myriad of footpaths and cycle routes over the hills and mountains with lakes, reservoirs and historic ruins await from the doorstep. History enthusiasts can uncover the local heritage at Criccieth Castle (17 miles) or Harlech Castle (14 miles), both offering wonderful views across the headlands, whilst thrill seekers can get the blood pumping at the Zip World Slate Caverns 2.5 miles away. The Italianate village of Portmeirion, with its architectural heritage, tidal estuary and sub-tropical gardens can be reached within 10.5 miles.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the cottage- the cottage is well-stocked and has everything you need for a fab stay. The views of the mountains from the hot tub were amazing and we all enjoyed playing darts and pool most nights. From there, we had lovely days out at Abersoch, Barmouth, Harlech castle, Porthmadog to see the steam trains, Betws Read morey Coed and Beddgelert. Blaenau Ffestiniog was a short walk away from the house, and has a large coop for groceries. Roger was very helpful and informative. Hide

We fell in love with The Mountains house the second I saw the photos online but was reluctant to book as no reviews. We decided to take the risk and so pleased we did as just returned from the most incredible week away. The cottage views are spectacular, I spent so many hours sat in the cosy sun room watching the mountains, was heaven. The cottRead moreage is warm and beautifully decorated with a huge fireplace in the lounge which we used every night. All the beds were comfortable and we all slept so well. The en-suite shower and bath always had hot water and good pressure. The kitchen was very well equipped and I loved all the little extras like soaps, washing up liquids and sponges makes it a real home from home. The hot tub was used twice a day and always required temperature. We loved the fact it was very private and could be used in all weathers with roof and lights. Views once again stunning. Games room the teenagers loved and we spent many hours playing pool/ darts together as a family. The area around cottage is so peaceful and secluded but also very well placed as you can easily walk into village which has shops, cafes and great places to eat/ grap a takeaway. Parking for 2 cars in safe little lay-by less then 30 seconds walk from cottage. The owner is by far the best Ive ever experienced. Call day before to provide helpful information and once again on arrival to check we were happy. We had a couple of questions during the week and owner was very responsive and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and he clearly cares about his guests. This holiday was meant to be a one off BUT we will definitely be returning as we all had such a great time. We would 100 percent recommend this to everyone. Hide

Wonderful cottage in excellent central location to explore Snowdonia. The views are incredible and the hot tub was a real treat. The owner was very helpful and informative pre-arrival and has clearly put a lot of thought into this beautiful cottage. Highly recommend!
