Situated high up on a hill in the heart of Snowdonia, this property is a great escape for people with pups with fantastic lawned areas outside for them to run and play, as well as magnificent views for humans to admire. 2 miles away in the town of Dolgellau you’ll be able to join the Mawddach Trail where hounds are sure to have a ball on the 9-mile route to the coast of Barmouth.

The living room is oozing with charm, retaining many of its original features such as an inglenook fireplace and furnished in keeping with its character. Here you can kick back and relax on the sofas by the warmth of the flame-effect electric fire with your canine by your feet. Next door is the dual-aspect country-style kitchen with everything you’ll need to cook up a feast, and a dining table located by the window for mealtimes. Completing the ground floor is the conservatory surrounded by countryside and garden views to enjoy the great outdoors whatever the weather. On the first floor are the bedrooms, the first of which is a family room that has a double bed which is only accessible from one side of the frame, as well as a single bed for children and boasts an en-suite shower room. Next door is a king-size bedroom and a twin room ensuring ample space for larger groups. Completing the property is the family bathroom. Outside are multiple garden areas with lush green grass, patio areas with seating for al fresco dining, fire pit and a BBQ ensuring something to please those on four legs as well as two.

Enjoy a slower pace of life on an afternoon in Dolgellau (2 miles) soaking in the grand architecture as you stroll through the streets in search of a paw-friendly cafe. Let your dog lead the way to adventure at Coed y Brenin Forest Park (8 miles) where thick woodland, gentle streams, varied terrains and natural beauty surround you as you meander through the idyllic scenery. Pack a picnic with some tasty treats for your four-legged friend and head to Bala Lake (19 miles) to sit beside the water and relax before heading off for a long walk with all the family.

Very pretty and comfortable. It was a little bit closer to the main road than we had realised so noisy at times - but then it was a sunny half-term week.

This was the 2nd time staying at The Barn and will definitely be going back. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable with a private garden which was ideal for our Frenchie. A huge conservatory with great views of cader idris and ideal for relaxing. Highly recommended

The cottage was tastefully modernised and in a beautiful location. The conservatory was particularly appreciated as it was so light. The cottage is situated in lovely landscaped gardens and very private. It is an ideal location for some fantastic walks: Torrents walk and Coed y Brenin to name just two. Dolgellau has a lovely bakery and always busyRead more. Their honey buns are always a priority for us. We have returned to this atea for many years bringing our children and now grandchildren. Hide

We have just returned from a wonderful week at The Barn. The location was superb, about 2 miles from Dolgellau where there were shops & several great places to eat. So much to do in the area, great walks & good beaches. The weather was a bit hit & miss but we still found plenty to do. Loved sitting in the lovely conservatory enjoying the ever-changRead moreing views over the mountains. We were a group of 4 adults & 1 dog & there was plenty of space for us all. Having 2 bathrooms definitely helped as well. We would have no hesitation in returning to this beautiful cottage. Hide

Lovely cottage. Really spacious and really clean. Owners close by but didn't intrude. When asked about 'Bins and other Routines' was told 'just enjoy your holiday and leave it all to us'. A blessing as normally there is a list of what to do. Would stay again as lots to do in the area.

Lovely spacious accommodation which has a high standard of cleanliness. Very comfortable with a nice fully enclosed garden to keep our dog safe! The kitchen is very well equipped and the view from the front of the property is nice.
