Property code: 87974

Located alongside a babbling river in a picturesque village location, this sweet dog-friendly retreat is a beautiful bolthole for two plus doggos. Set in the most spectacular mature garden within the grounds of the owner’s own home, this gated cottage feels very private with lush lawn and established planting surrounding the generous plot. The coastal village of Llwyngwril sits within Snowdonia National Park and is the ideal location for a holiday of two halves; embark on outdoor adventures in easy reach with your beloved hounds and retire to the tranquil setting of this delightful garden cottage for cosy evenings by the fire. Alternatively, venture further afield using the nearby Cambrian Railway line.

Inside the single-storey property you’ll find a small lobby area with storage space for coasts and shoes that leads onto the shower room. Off this handy lobby area is the modern kitchen/dining space, kitted out with all you need for a well-catered stay and a comfortable lounge. Open-plan the cottage has been thoughtfully designed to make the best of the cosy space. On cooler evenings, light the wood burner and cwtch up with your canine companions in front of the fire or on a balmy summer evening, open up the French doors and bring the outside in. The patio and lawn, encircled by mature trees and shrubs is a sublime spot for enjoying dining al fresco or throw the dog a bone and enjoy a quick cuppa with the meditative sounds of the flowing river nearby. Retire to the king-size bedroom for a restful night’s sleep.

Nearby, there is plenty of scope to unleash adventures in the big outdoors; head to Coed-Y-Brenin (14 miles) for walkies and cycle tracks to explore. The local coastline also offers plenty of dog-friendly options; rove with Rover along the pebbles of Llwyngwril beache or dig for treasure at Fairbourne Beach (3 miles) where dogs are welcome on a god stretch of sand either side of the central area. If you’re looking for a more restful activity, enjoy a picnic along the banks of the River Gwril to the sound of birdsong.

The cottage is more like a summerhouse. It nestles in a stunning garden that provides a haven of peace for both humans and dogs! Cath has kitted it out with everything that we could possibly need and was on hand to offer help and support if it was required.

Beautiful location, with stream running through the garden. There was no need to go out really as it was so peaceful. Well equipped cottage and very helpful host. Local pub was good for pub grub. Two minutes to station and four to the beach.

Well appointed, comfy and spotlessly clean cottage, with a superb host who clearly wants to ensure her guests have a good stay. The jewel in the crown is the beautiful garden with the river running through it. Also great is the base...beautiful village and accomodation is a short walk from beach, railway station, pub and shop. Just fabulous.

First impressions, great cottage, clean, comfortable and everything you need and more. Cath super friendly and helpful. Great garden for our dog who loved to play and did not want to leave. Train station and beach a few hundred yards away. Local pub run by Steve and Andy was great and chatting to the locals. Great location for visiting the surroundRead moreing areas such as Barmouth either by car or on the train. Train runs every 2 hours which is also dog friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay Hide

This is a hidden gem. So peaceful. The cottage is spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. The very large, enclosed garden is beautiful and our dog loved it. The river next to the garden is stunning with its foliage along the bank. Cath, the owner, is very helpful and friendly and there if we needed her. Only a 15 minute stroll from the dooRead morer to the beach. Would definitely recommend. Hide
