Enjoying an elevated position in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, this idyllic single-level stone cottage makes a lovely family holiday home. With plenty of space for two pups and five humans, this detached property is set within the owner’s private grounds and features spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. This is a charming base for keen walkers, climbers and cyclists, with opportunities nearby for activities including fishing, canoeing and boat trips.

This light and welcoming cottage features a stylishly furnished lounge/diner, a cosy space for relaxing with a good book or a movie while your faithful hounds play with their favourite toy together. You can share a family meal in the pretty dining area, which is also ideal for playing board games or planning the day’s exploits. The attractive and well-equipped kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. There are also three spacious bedrooms to choose from: a double, a twin and a single. Outside, you can enjoy an al fresco meal or a glass of wine in the enclosed and paved gravelled courtyard, where you can sit back and admire the beautiful scenery. And a long meadow garden provides space for Bella and Bruno to chase each other.

Dolgellau (1 mile) is a fantastic place for curious canines and their owners to visit, with a number of excellent dog-friendly pubs to relax in. There are plenty of walks in the area - the Torrent Walk along the Clywedog (4.5 miles) and Mawddach Trail leading to Barmouth (9 miles) are both popular options. Heading to the coast you can take a water taxi from Fairbourne (8.5 miles) to Barmouth Harbour.

Second time we've stayed here, and had a lovely week there again. Clean and tidy with plenty of room and comfortable bed. Great walks nearby and easy to get to the whole of Snowdonia. We will be back for a 3rd time in the near future.

Great property and location. Very quiet and remote but local to a nice pub/restaurant and a Spar shop for the essentials. Will need a car to travel for sightseeing as nearest attractions on average 40-60mins car ride.

The cottage is well laid out with plenty of space in every room. The furniture is a little dated but that adds character to the cottage. The 1 drawback I had was lack of disability facilities in the bathroom ie: no grab rails, disabibility stool in shower or raised loo.

The Cottage has ample room for 4/5 people and two large dogs. It was clean inside & out and had a dishwasher & washing machine which is helpful. The interior could do with updating, however it fits the keepers cottage style. The location is very good with plenty to do within a small area.

My wife and I loved our week here. There were only 2 of us so we had loads of space, but it would still be plenty of room with a family of 5.
