Surrounded by simply breathtaking scenery, you’re sure to feel revitalised after a stay in this off-the-beaten-track cottage in the Mid-Wales countryside. Although benefiting from a remote location, this property is just 3 miles from the beautiful seaside town of Barmouth, an unrivalled choice for those who want to spend time on the beach, embark on coastal walks along Cardigan Bay or set off along River Mawddach hikes. The accommodation itself is a traditional stone cottage filled with bundles of country charm, the perfect place for a family of six to stay amongst peaceful surroundings.

As you arrive at this detached property, stop for a second to take in the scenic backdrop and the ample amount of garden space that’s yours to enjoy. Once inside, you’ll find all the space for relaxation set across three floors. The living space is entirely open-plan with a lounge, kitchen and diner set by a cosy wood burner in an impressive inglenook fireplace. Spend time together here, getting stuck into a board game or picking a family favourite box set to watch. Also on this floor, you’ll find a utility room with plenty of space for storing outdoor equipment. Discover three bedrooms, a twin and two doubles, set across the lower ground and first floors. Each beautifully presented bedroom presents its own TV, and the master double upstairs boasts an en-suite with a sumptuous roll-top bath.

Situated in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, you’re never far from adventure here. Discover The Mawddach Trail from Barmouth or the 4-mile Panorama Walk which crosses paths just 0.5 miles from your doorstep. Of course, the towering Snowdonia Mountain (18 miles) is a must-visit for keen hikers or mountain bikers. Those most comfortable on two wheels will also benefit from a trip to the Coed y Brenin Forest Park (16 miles), an area renowned for its trail-riding offering.

Great cottage in a peaceful location as described. Spacious and well equipped. Access road is narrow and steep in places but very few other vehicles. We had cuckoos just outside the garden and enjoyed sitting out listening to them on warm evenings. Blinds are missing from the main bedroom windows which need replacing ASAP as it means the sun wakesRead more you up at 5am in summer which is a bit early for a holiday! Also we couldn't work out how to switch the outdoor lights off to be able to see the stars more clearly. Hide
