Once two quarry-men’s cottages, this beautifully restored cottage is ideally located in the southern part of Snowdonia National Park with views to match. With spectacular mountain ranges, pretty towns and plenty of bird watching opportunities, this cottage is perfect for a rural retreat with your canine companion.

Step into this characterful cottage to find a welcoming, spacious living room where a wood burner is ready to be stoked up and snoozed in front of. With period features, such as exposed beams, traditional slate hearth and a quirky antler chandelier, this makes a gorgeous setting for you and your pup to cuddle up together. Watch TV or play games with your family, before heading to a farmhouse-style kitchen/diner to cook up a feast for the family and nibbles for the pooch. There’s a washing machine just out in the utility for damp doggy towels and plenty of space for kicking off sandy boots. When it’s time to turn in, three pretty bedrooms invite you upstairs, all with lots of storage space and spectacular views out over the valley. In the morning, throw a ball on the enclosed back garden for your canine companion while you sit outside in the sunshine, and perhaps think about firing up the BBQ for tea.

There are miles of walkies for your dog to take you on around this striking cottage. They’ll be shattered by the end of each fun-filled day of exploring, and even more so after the ascent to the top of the mountains. Go 10 miles from the property to get a chance at spotting the rare osprey at the Dyfi Osprey Project or drive 13 miles for the RSPB Ynys-Hir Nature Reserve, where miles of stunning landscape and wading birds are to be admired.

Very good and well equipped cottage. Weather turned cold and rainy the day we arrived and it was very easy to get the heating turned up. Parking was a real bonus. Would recommend this cottage.

This property was perfect for our long weekend - a family with five adults. The living room was nice and big, the kitchen very well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. It was a great location for our hike up Cadair Idris and further explorations in the area. The welcome pack was also much appreciated. I was slightly concerned that dogs were Read moreallowed at the property, as we normally choose pet-free properties, but there was no evidence of them having been present. Hide

We had such a lovely 2 weeks here. There was so much to do in the area and the house was so comfortable that we felt at home straight away. We loved all the interesting details in the house and there were even binoculars which we borrowed on a couple of our trips out. The owners were very kind and accessible if we needed anything. The people we metRead more in the area were very friendly too. We would definitely come back again. Hide
