Tucked away in the heart of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), this National Trust farmhouse is within walking distance of the Watkin footpath up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and the stunning Watkin pools and waterfalls for wild swimming. This stunning farmhouse offers the perfect location with awe-inspiring views over Llyn Dinas where you can swim, paddleboard or walk/cycle around.
Inside, the farmhouse blends rustic charm with modern comforts. Start your day in the well-equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing hearty breakfasts with locally sourced ingredients. The spacious dining room has French doors overlooking the rolling hills and is perfect for sharing meals and enjoying the scenery. After a day of exploring, return to the cosy lounge, where a crackling wood burner and plush sofas set the scene for relaxed evenings. Stream your favourite shows on the Smart TV or head to the nearby games barn for some friendly competition. When it’s time to rest, the farmhouse offers four inviting bedrooms – two king-size rooms and two doubles. Freshen up in the family bathroom to revive you after a day on the trails. Outside, sip your morning coffee while soaking up the views from the front of the property, or gather for an al fresco meal in the side garden, bordered by stone walls. A secure store for bikes and paddleboards ensures you're always ready for the next excursion. The property also offers private parking for two cars.
For avid walkers, the Watkin Path is 1 mile from the doorstep, offering a challenging yet rewarding route to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). A scenic 3-mile walk/ cycle along Llyn Dinas or a short drive takes you to the village of Beddgelert, known for its picturesque riverside trails, cosy pubs, and tempting cafes. Don’t miss the chance to board the Welsh Highland Railway for a heritage train ride through some of Snowdonia’s most dramatic landscapes.
