Property code: OC-WAG708

Surrounded by peaceful countryside with unspoilt views of the nearby coastline, this rustic 16th-century farmhouse boasts some wonderful characterful features and a fetching homely atmosphere that’ll set tails wagging.

After hiking through the idyllic countryside, there’s no better remedy for weary paws and aching muscles than the soothing warmth of the wood burner housed inside a gorgeous inglenook fireplace at the centre of the ultra-cosy, rustic living room. Leave your canine companion to doze by the leather sofas as you follow the characterful exposed beams into the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with enough space for the whole family to dine together as well as room for your top dog’s bowl. When bedtime calls, climb up the enchanting spiral stone staircase to find three bedrooms, each as charming as the rooms downstairs, that feature exposed beams and suburb views of the peaceful surrounding scenery. Before bedtime, playful pups will go mutts padding around the enclosed patio garden as you soak the last of the evening’s sun by dining alfresco with the superb countryside views as your backdrop.

Situated on the Glaslyn Estuary, the busy harbourside town of Porthmadog is rich in maritime history, boasting a fantastic range of shops and restaurants to explore with your canine companion in tow and sniff out the best local produce this area has to offer. Surrounded by peaceful countryside on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, there’s a myriad of walking paths and cycle trails that you’ll have a ball discovering with your four-pawed companion. Visible from the property, dive into the stunning surrounding scenery and rich local history by leaving no stick unfetched at Ynysypandy Slate Mill less than half a mile away.

Amazing place to stay! We've had a wonderful week of comfort. Everything we could want from a cottage - warm and inviting. A perfect spot away to explore Snowdonia and Coastal area. Such a welcome, to find the Rayburn warming the Kitchen. This is a place to be treasured.

The cottage was an excellent place to stay. Warm and welcoming, very well maintained and equipped. Having the Rayburn and comfy chairs in the kitchen as well were an added bonus as well as the wood burning stove in the sitting room. Fantastic for our dog too. The welcome from the owners was excellent- just the right level of attention. Some lovelyRead more touches - fruit in the bowl, some biscuits and a bag of ground coffee waiting for us. The place itself is off the beaten track and virtually no traffic on the roads made dog walks so easy and great views of the mountains and towards the coast. Hide

Thank you for your friendly welcome. We have thoroughly enjoyed our week here in this beautiful cottage. Lots of lovely walks in Cwm Pennant, around Beddgelert, behind Harlech & Snowdon. It is always good to be back in our favourite part of Wales. A perfect break - I'm sure we will be back again.
