This gorgeous property, nestled in a courtyard past the owner’s home, is the perfect bolthole for two. Sleeping you both in a comfortable double bed, this wonderful cottage is an opportunity to relax and unwind in a stunning part of Wales with breathtaking scenery all around. Head to Bala Lake for the day (10.5 miles) where you can sail, canoe, wild swim or simply take lakeside walks before returning home. Spend the evening dining alfresco looking out across the hills, then enjoy a soak in the hot tub under the stars.
The property, which is a former stable, is spacious and welcoming with plenty of natural light. The full aspect window in the open-plan living area ensures you can take in those amazing views, while neutral decor with pops of colour in the furniture creates a cosy vibe to relax in. Watch some TV on the sofa or cook up a storm and eat in the contemporary kitchen area; if you’re feeling sociable, head to the shared games barn for pool, table tennis or darts. Upstairs, a tranquil double bed awaits among soft dressing gowns and towels; indulge in a sumptuous shower in the stylish en-suite before snuggling into bed.
Head off to Betws-y-Coed (14 miles) where you’ll find historic bridges, waterfalls and plenty of outdoor activities to take part in. The National White Water Centre (7.5 miles) is also a must for adrenaline junkies. History buffs will enjoy a wander around Ty Mawr Wybrnant (14 miles) which is a stone-built farmhouse that tells the story of how the Welsh lived and has wonderful views of the Conwy Valley. Take a horse-drawn boat trip along the canal or a motorised aqueduct cruise from Llangollen Wharf (20 miles) for a tranquil afternoon.
