This charming late Victorian house at Bontddu, in an elevated position with lovely views over the Mawddach Estuary to Cader Idris, is ideal for a family or group of friends looking for a restful base for an active holiday in Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula. Bontddu sits at the southern end of the Rhinogs, a range of hills stretching north towards Porthmadog. The lovely market town of Dolgellau (5 miles) also offers excellent local walking or cycling along the Mawddach Trail.
Formerly a minister’s house, this lovely three-storey property has a country style and a cosy and welcoming feel. The attractive sitting room is a lovely social space with plenty of comfortable seating, a TV for entertainment, and a wood burner to keep things snug all year. The kitchen diner includes everything you need to whip up delicious meals for family or friends. There is also a shower room on the ground floor.

There is a small outside terrace area with seating for two to enjoy a morning brew.
The property is ideal for exploring the mountains and the spectacular coastline. Walkers and mountain bikers will love the traffic-free walking and cycling trails at nearby Coed-y-Brenin.
