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, 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.  A charming garden that gently slopes, adding unique character and picturesque views to the landscape.

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.

The cottage was set in beautiful grounds that were kept immaculate throughout. The view from the patio area of the surrounding mountains and countryside couldnt fail to lift your mood whether it be first thing in the morning or last thing at night. It was so peaceful with just the sound of birds singing away. The cottage was well proportioned withRead more plenty of comfort and space. There was ample parking for several cars. The owner was lovely and pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. I would most definitely recommend these cottages to everyone and will be back again with all the grandkids. There is so much to see and do their that 1 week isnt enough. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Hide

This bungalow was an excellent property for a party with our age range of 2 to 76, including someone with limited mobility. With perfect weather all week we took full advantage of the barbecue! Our only concern was having to keep an eagle eye on the 2-year-old because of a steep grassy slope on the property, but this wasn't really a problem (we wRead moreould always watch him anyway). There was plenty to do in the area and we would definitely consider coming to Holly Bank again. Hide

We loved staying at Holly Bank. There is tremendous walking and cycling from the doorstep and the views of Cadair Idris are to die for.
