Property code: OC-95142

This detached bungalow has a gorgeous, enclosed garden and spectacular views towards the Cader Idris mountains. A warm welcome awaits eight guests and a pair of pets; walks nearby include the gentle Mawddach Trail from Dolgellau to Barmouth.

Set in an elevated position within mature grounds, this four-bedroom residence offers the ultimate tranquil break. Step into a spacious living room and you’ll make immediately for the large picture window that frames a wonderful view of the surrounding hills. Complete with comfortable seating, a wood burner-effect electric fire and a Smart TV/DVD player, this is where you’ll unwind every evening. The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner is kitted out with all the self-catering essentials, as well as a large wooden dining table beside patio doors leading out to the garden. Dog-tired after a busy day out? Choose from four pretty bedrooms: a twin bedroom and a double bedroom enjoy far-reaching views, while two further double bedrooms offer plenty of storage space and one has its own handy vanity unit for additional convenience. Two contemporary bathrooms – one with a shower room and the other with a bath – complete the layout of this lovely holiday home. Patio doors bring the outside into the kitchen/diner, and lead onto a large patio with panoramic views towards Cader Idris. Beyond is an enclosed lawn area with plenty of mature trees and foliage so you and your dogs can stretch your legs and sit in the shade on the sunniest days.

The former slate town of Dolgellau (2 miles) is packed with more listed buildings than any other town in Wales, and has excellent eateries and shops to satisfy every taste. Once you’ve explored, step out along the Mawddach Trail which winds along the southern edge of the estuary to Barmouth (8 miles) where there’s a large sandy stretch of beach and all the traditional seaside attractions. Inland, Bala is 19 miles away; Wales'' biggest natural lake, Llyn Tegid, is the centre of attention here – if you’re feeling energetic, it’s a 14-mile walk around the water’s edge.

We enjoyed a very good week at Holly Bank. The bungalow is spacious, well maintained and spotlessly clean; the location is delightful and the grounds are beautiful. Communication with the owner was very good and her suggestion for Sunday Lunch, The Brigands, was excellent. With so many of us using SatNav I would like to see the directions to all cRead moreottages include the map reference / what3words to make life easier especially in more remote areas where postcodes con cover large areas. Minimal downsides but there were no instruction leaflets for any of the appliances / heating; no broom/mop (not all of us can get down on the floor with dustpan and brush) and departure by 9:30 is somewhat unrealistic for a family of up to eight persons.
