A holiday in a national park is basically every doggie''s dream, so book a stay in this charming home perched atop Blaenau Ffestiniog in Snowdonia. The gorgeous town, surrounded by fantastic walking trails to discover with your pet, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its slate mining history. You''ll have the spectacular Blaenau Ffestiniog Waterfalls just 350 metres away and quaint eateries and shops less than 0.5 miles from your front door.

This three-bed home is brimming with rustic appeal, starting with its stone exterior painted in brilliant white. Inside, many rooms have gorgeous ceiling beams and atmospheric vaulted ceilings, with feature fireplaces and brightly coloured walls adding further to the charm. Whip up delicious meals in the creatively designed kitchen, which has yellow walls and skylights allowing plenty of light in. After mealtimes in the spacious dining room, you may wander into the cosy lounge, where you and your pooches can unwind by the stone fireplace. The garden is fully enclosed, ensuring a safe and serene spot for your dog to explore as you make the most of the hot tub and skylight gazebo for dining under the stars.

The surrounding area of Snowdonia is a playground for active doggies and their human friends. Local spots you might like to sniff out are Cwm Cynfal viewpoint (4.5 miles) and the pretty Trawsfynydd Lake (8 miles). For a local day trip, explore the Italianate charm of Portmeirion (10.5 miles) or drive to the bustling harbour town of Porthmadog (11.5 miles). There, you can take your pet on the historic Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways.

Overall a great & enjoyable stay, very peaceful and cosy! Lots of great facilities & features, the views are incredible. Roger was so helpful and attentive, and you can tell how much they've thought through the facilities to make them as simple and as comfortable as possible. I'd just note that if your dog is small, silly & excitable like mine - thRead moreey will need more monitoring in the garden. While it's fenced off, there are some high ledges & also some steep(ish) steps they may need carrying up/down. Hide

Perfect holiday home: Fantastic location, within few miles access to dozens of splendid hiking trails & we loved running up the hill behind the cottage in the evening. Very friendly neighbors, wonderful cottage and plenty of things to do for kids.

The cottage has been sympathetically renovated to a good standard, has all you need for a getaway. The games room, hot tub etc. Were a benefit, especially during wet weather! Very cosy living room with great log burner. The host was very communicative and easy to get hold of. We had a great weekend and tied in a trip to the local zip world - only Read more5 minutes away. The platform - holiday cottages - not so ! They are very rigid and wont field discussions or queries prior to or even after booking. Just pass things back to you to deal with the owner direct, but then wont give you details until 2 weeks before check in. Means you cant customise your stay unless you book first. Holiday cottages response - We are sorry to hear you found the Holiday Cottages platform a bit rigid I know it can be frustrating when you want to tailor your stay but cant speak directly with the owner until closer to check-in. Unfortunately, our policies limit early contact, but once guests receive details you are then able to ask for any requests or arrangements. Thank you for choosing Holiday Cottages and we hope to welcome you back soon. Hide

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location! Parking is available but I wouldnt recommend coming in a big car. The owner is extremely helpful and easy to contact. The weather was shocking whilst we were there so it was nice to be able to utilise the games room and undercover hot tub. The cottage was clean and quick to heat.

We had a lovely holiday in this traditional Welsh cottage, alongside all the character and old features you would expect to find in such a property it was also equipped with all mod cons making it very comfortable. The garden was lovely, the summerhouse, hot tub, furniture and pool room but most of all the view, amazing!

We fell in love with The Mountains house the second I saw the photos online but was reluctant to book as no reviews. We decided to take the risk and so pleased we did as just returned from the most incredible week away. The cottage views are spectacular, I spent so many hours sat in the cosy sun room watching the mountains, was heaven. The cottRead moreage is warm and beautifully decorated with a huge fireplace in the lounge which we used every night. All the beds were comfortable and we all slept so well. The en-suite shower and bath always had hot water and good pressure. The kitchen was very well equipped and I loved all the little extras like soaps, washing up liquids and sponges makes it a real home from home. The hot tub was used twice a day and always required temperature. We loved the fact it was very private and could be used in all weathers with roof and lights. Views once again stunning. Games room the teenagers loved and we spent many hours playing pool/ darts together as a family. The area around cottage is so peaceful and secluded but also very well placed as you can easily walk into village which has shops, cafes and great places to eat/ grap a takeaway. Parking for 2 cars in safe little lay-by less then 30 seconds walk from cottage. The owner is by far the best Ive ever experienced. Call day before to provide helpful information and once again on arrival to check we were happy. We had a couple of questions during the week and owner was very responsive and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and he clearly cares about his guests. This holiday was meant to be a one off BUT we will definitely be returning as we all had such a great time. We would 100 percent recommend this to everyone. Hide
