This beautifully renovated stone farmhouse in Rhoslefain puts you right between two of North Wales’ great landscapes, with the mountains of Eryri rising on one side and the Cardigan Bay coast stretching away on the other. Modern comforts sit alongside its country character, and with space for four guests and a large, enclosed garden for the dogs, it makes the perfect base for exploration.
The farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated without losing the simple charm of its rural setting. It centres around the light-flooded open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, whether you are cooking up a storm in the kitchen, planning tomorrow’s walk over breakfast or stretching out on the sofa after a day in the hills. Both bedrooms can be arranged to suit couples or friends sharing, and a stylish bathroom completes the layout. When the weather plays along, carry plates outside to the garden, light the BBQ and eat on the patio with patchwork fields and mountain scenery all around you. Secure storage for bikes and outdoor kit is particularly handy if you are here to make the most of the landscape.
Fill your days with some of the best of this glorious corner of Wales. Head into Eryri for mountain walks around Penygader (13 miles) or climb aboard the heritage Tal-y-llyn Railway (10.5 miles) and travel through wooded valleys towards Nant Gwernol, where circular trails lead deeper into the landscape. Save another day for the Cardigan Bay coast, with Tywyn just 5 miles away for a long sweep of sand, surfing and sea swims, followed by an ice cream in town. Pastel-painted Aberdyfi (9 miles) has a championship golf club and plenty of water sports to try.
