This rustic cottage is a truly magical place to spend some quality time with your loved ones. Nestled in Snowdonia National Park, it's a secluded spot where you can begin your adventures in the epic landscapes of West Wales. The exposed stone exterior exudes rural charm, and are plenty more enchanting features to admire inside. You'll love the antique Welsh dresser, the ancient oak beams, and the inglenook fireplace. Light up the wood burner and get cosy on the sofa to watch your favourite movies on chilly evenings. And, when the sun is shining, you can head outside to the garden and admire the gorgeous views over a craft gin and tonic – perfection. The pretty town of Dolgellau is conveniently just two miles away, where you can pick up supplies and enjoy a pint in one of the local pubs. Thrill-seeking cyclists will be delighted that there is world-class mountain biking around ten miles away. And, hikers can lace up their boots to hike up rugged Cadair Idris, or join the Mawddach Trail for a more leisurely walk.
