Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Eryri (Snowdonia) with a group getaway at this handsome stone cottage in the heart of the national park. Welcoming up to six guests across three bedrooms, this dog-friendly abode is a wonderful choice for walkers, cyclists and anyone wanting direct access to snowy peaks, woodland trails and riverside peace.
Framed by mountain views and the gentle sound of the nearby river, this Welsh stone cottage has heaps of charm and character. Leave muddy boots at the entranceway and settle straight into a sociable, open-plan living space. The range oven makes light work of cooking meals for a crowd, and there’s a breakfast bar for casual bites and a farmhouse-style dining table for more formal meals. Then sink into the corner sofa to catch up on your favourite show or simply warm up by the wood burner after days spent outdoors. When it’s time to rest your head, three restful bedrooms invite you upstairs. Choose between a spacious king-size, a cosy double and a playful bunk room; they share use of a family bathroom with a deep, corner bath, ideal for relaxing tired muscles. Enjoy al fresco meals and BBQ suppers on the patio in the enclosed rear garden, admiring mountain views while kids and dogs play safely on the lawn. Private, off-road parking is available for one car with further on-street parking.
Keen walkers can lace up their boots and step straight out onto the Slate Trail, an 83-mile circular route that passes right by the cottage. Further outdoors adventures can be found on the mountain bike trails of Penmachno (2.5 miles) and the native forest and gorgeous waterfalls at Conwy Falls (5.5 miles). The mountain resort of Betws-y-Coed (7.5 miles) is renowned for its bustling shops and varied activities, while Harlech and other coastal gems can be reached within 20 miles.
