Property code: OC-WAH484

This delightful property, located in an idyllic countryside location just 5.5 miles from the pretty village of Dolgellau, is perfect for families or groups of friends looking to explore the stunning Snowdonia National Park. Sleeping five across three beautiful bedrooms, this holiday home is an opportunity to relax and unwind away from the pressures of daily life in a wonderful setting. Wake up among spectacular mountain views, take your morning coffee out to the bridge and sit by the stream, watching the day unfold.

The cottage, which still features an original chapel pulpit, is set out over various mezzanine levels with open-tread staircases. The snug and dining room make a statement with exposed stone walls and give you a place to escape from the excitement of the house. The farmhouse-style kitchen has everything you need to cook up delicious meals for your guests, while the splendid stone fireplace and wood burner in the lounge beckon you to curl up on the sofas after a long day out walking. On this mezzanine level, two peaceful bedrooms await, a double and a single; draw the curtain for extra privacy and snuggle into bed in these pretty cottage-style rooms, or head up to the twin on the first floor.

Small enclosed garden with seating and car parking area, plus large open grassy area and stream to the front of the property. Sit and enjoy morning coffee from the bridge over the stream. Dogs are welcome during your stay. 

Head off to Coed y Brenin Forest Park (7 miles) where you can enjoy walks along the trails or hire mountain bikes to experience more of the park. Corris Railway (13.5 miles) takes you on a 50-minute train ride that includes a tour of its 133-year-old engine shed and workshops and is always a hit with children. For a beach day, visit sandy Barmouth (15 miles), or venture across the estuary to Fairbourne (14.5 miles). For fantastic views of Cader Idris, start in Dolgellau (5.5 miles) and take a 5-mile hike through hidden farms and valleys.

The house is located on a remote mountain road and guests visiting in winter should be well prepared for snowy road conditions and check the forecast carefully before travelling. If you have any concerns please get in touch before travelling.

A beautiful cottage in a breathtaking location with inspirational views. Perfect location for hiking, about 20mins from the start of Cadar Idris hike (Pony path) and the 'Precipice walk', to mention but a few. The property itself is really quirky and very comfortable with lots of nice touches. We were very sad to leave, and hope to return one day.

Perfect property for a remote location holiday, beautifully equipped and laid out. Comfy beds and sofas and a great base for outdoor activities even though that is not why we went. Wear to collapse and escape .

Lovely isolated location with plenty of walks and amazing sunsets, house lovely and well kitted out. I'd recommend the precipice walk and the slate mine tour at blaneau festineog, and there's a lovely tapas restaurant in dolgellau.
