  • A beautifully renovated stone house offering great group accommodation
  • A comfortable and modern eco-farmhouse powered by wind and solar
  • Situated within a national park with uninterrupted mountain views

Overview
Property code: OC-BOW245

This traditional farmhouse has been carefully and considerately renovated to provide modern, spacious accommodation for larger parties of up to 13 people. Powered by a wind turbine and solar panels, the house is a sustainable location in which to enjoy this special area of North Wales. Set within Snowdonia National Park, the house enjoys unrestricted views of Cader Idris mountain, Barmouth Estuary and the Llyn Peninsula. This peaceful spot is a must-visit for outdoor and nature enthusiasts with mountain trails and beach walks at Fairborne accessible from the front door. This property is also ideal for extended family or groups of friends to spend relaxing and quality time together in a remote spot with walks and fine views. Please be aware that while accessible as a building, guests have to pass through six farm gates on their way up the seven mile road from Dolgellau. Therefore this property is geared more towards groups that appreciate quiet separation from society. Barmouth – the popular Snowdonia seaside resort with beautiful views of Cardigan Bay, harbour, shops, pubs and eateries – is just 3 miles away.

Please bear in mind that this property is half way up a mountain, and that whilst there are more gentle walks on the level commanding excellent views, the descent to Fairbourne and Barmouth is quite steep.

The ground floor of the property is full of character and spacious areas for relaxed, sociable gatherings. The cosy living room features original beams, lots of seating and a wood burner set inside a feature inglenook fireplace. The light-filled, modern kitchen offers spectacular sea estuary and mountain views, the perfect backdrop for any gathering. A further small living area with a kitchenette offers additional, usable space. A flexible bedroom with a small living area and an en-suite is situated on the ground floor along with a further bedroom and a utility room. The first floor houses five further bedrooms, four of which have en-suite bathrooms, and the master bedroom with picturesque views.

A ten-person sauna with a large picture window and views of the estuary and sea – along with a changing room and shower – is a great place for gathering. Outside, a large handmade table offers al fresco dining opportunities. Firepit and a charcoal BBQ add to the outdoor appeal.

  • 6 bedrooms - 2 king-size - 1 with additional double sofa bed; 2 doubles - 1 with additional bunk bed; 1 twin with zip-and-link single beds that can be arranged as a super-king-size on request, 1 single
  • 7 bathrooms - 1 bathroom with bath, shower and WC, 1 shower room with WC, 5 en-suites with shower and WC

  • Whilst on the grid, the house is also powered by solar panels and a wind turbine, and is heated by a newly installed ground source heat pump
  • TV
  • Private garden, charcoal BBQ, firepit, and table and chairs
  • Private parking for 6 cars
  • Sauna with changing room and cold shower
  • Shops, pub and beach within 3 miles
  • Please note: private water supply
  • Please ensure dogs are on leads around surrounding areas of the property as we are surrounded by working farms with sheep, particularly in the Spring and Summer when lambs are around.
  • Please be aware that while accessible as a building, guests have to pass through six farm gates on their way up the seven mile road from Dolgellau.

Beautiful location, the view is absolutely incredible. We luckily had amazing weather which added to it. The sauna was a real highlight, and a lovely big house to accommodate our big family. We had a great family gathering here and some really special memories made, thank you!

Stunning views, really cozy place. Our group had a great time and we were all very impressed with the quality of the cottage and with the unbelievable scenery. We did get extremely lucky with the weather though!

We have stayed around Arthog on numerous occasions. This is by far the most scenic. Its location guarantees peace and tranquility. We walked from the doorstep for miles. The house is lovely. We spent most of our time in the kitchen/dining room to admire the views. We have 2 large dogs and the garden is definitely secure for them. There is a lotRead more of land and I think this is an ongoing project. It will be wonderful when there is a lawn to sit on and for children to play on. Its a trek through the 12 gates to the property from Dolgellau but so worth it for the lakes and mountains. We did drive down the steep hill to Arthog but wouldnt recommend driving up. The better route was sign post cregennan lake. The supplies were gratefully received. Thank you. We hope to return to Cyfannedd Uchaf. Hide

Beautiful house with fantastic views all around. We, all 3 generations, had a really good family holiday. So many lovely beaches and places to visit. Nice thought for the food/drink left for us too.
