Beautifully renovated, this riverside cottage sits in the heart of the national park, 6 miles north of Dolgellau and surrounded by woodlands. Pet friendly, it features four blissful bedrooms plus a wood burner in each of its social spaces.
Peaceful and private, this detached stone cottage impresses from the outset. Park and unpack at your own pace; the first room you step into has a dining table, desk space and gives easy access to a convenient WC, while the utility room beyond will make a handy place to store all your outdoor gear. Sure to be the social hub of your stay, the open-plan kitchen/dining/living area has exposed beams, a wood burner, a sofa and a Smart TV. Cook up a feast in the fabulous kitchen, savour the fruits of your labour at the table – perfectly positioned by glass doors onto the garden – and then head into the separate lounge where there’s a choice of sumptuous sofas, a Smart TV and a wood burner. As bedtime approaches, head upstairs to find four dreamy bedrooms, all delivering lovely country views. Choose between two king-size rooms – one of which has its own Smart TV – a restful double bedroom, and a cosy twin. All are served by a traditionally styled shower room. Step outside and unwind to a backing-track of wildlife, water and woodland – the garden catches the sun much of the day and includes outdoor dining furniture, a BBQ and fire pit.
In a superb setting by the river in Ganllwyd, this rural retreat has the Coed y Brenin Forest Park on its doorstep, offering an extensive network of well-marked footpaths and cycle routes. For a change of pace and a fine choice of shops, inns and eateries, head to market town Dolgellau (6 miles), or visit Barmouth (12 miles), famous for its sandy beach and breathtaking views across the Mawddach Estuary.
