Overview
Property code: OC-BOW172

Discover exquisite indoor and outdoor surroundings in this mighty Snowdonia property, a fantastic holiday let in which a large group can stay. An unrivalled base for exploring the wonders of the National Park all around you, this property is within effortless reach of thrill-seeking adventure days out, easy walks amongst coastal villages or rewarding hikes of the surrounding mountain landscapes. The property itself is entirely modern and well-thought-out, merrily welcoming a maximum of 12 guests and two well-behaved doggos.

Luxury surroundings set across two storeys await within this detached stone cottage. The ground floor presents plenty of communal space for relaxing together. Plot your day’s route on the statement Snowdonia map wall before packing up a hearty picnic in the expertly-designed kitchen. A shower room can be found downstairs, easily serving the two ground-floor bedrooms. In the lounge, large windows, comfy seating and a wood burner add to the room’s appeal. Step upstairs to find two more king-size bedrooms, each with an en-suite and additional sofa bed for family stays. Outside the property, you’ll find a generous allocation of outdoor living space for chilling on summer evenings. The large garden is entirely enclosed, ideal for those with pets or young kids, and boasts a patio with a fire pit and a stone-built BBQ.

Back at the property, you’ll find plenty of laminated guides to local walks, so step out and explore the Cwmorthin Waterfall (3 miles), the Tanygrisiau Reservoir (2.5 miles) or the Tomen y Mur (3.5 miles) close to home.

Lovely stay in a beautiful house and location. Well equipped and cosy. The hosts are very accommodating. Lots of activities in the area. We ate at the local pub one evening and the food was great, staff are extremely welcoming. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great location with lots to do within a short drive. Great views from the house and it was well suited to our two families with a great layout. We'd happily go back.

We were a family group of 8 adults, with 2 dogs, and we had a lovely time at the Haybarn. It was a great location, central to many interesting places. The facilities were great. We had a fab time, and look forward to coming back.

All fantastic - my only non maximum score is whether we would go back again - it is a long way for us and we did go for a particular purpose that might not repeat itself in the future. But certainly were others to identify a trip to that part of the world I'd say this would be a brilliant base.

A nice big cottage ,great views and a lovely little local walk by waterfalls. Kitchen was amazingly well equipped and some great books and games in the library Fantastic garden Great to have loads of free wood for the firepit .
