If you love a farmhouse stay (and your pet loves peaceful countryside walkies), this charming three-bedroom abode in Abergynolwyn should tick everyone’s boxes. It’s located in a spectacular Snowdonia valley where two rivers meet, making it perfect for outdoor-loving families and their dogs. The village has a lovely, peaceful feel to it, and just 0.5 miles away you’ll find the Talyllyn Narrow Gauge Railway — take your pup aboard for a ride through the mountains to the Dolgoch waterfalls, a stunning series of falls hidden in the woods.
This handsome dwelling is absolutely brimming with character, with rustic stone walls, wooden beams and plenty of cosy spots for tired canines to curl up. The inviting lounge/diner has a roaring wood burner for warming chilly paws, set within an inglenook fireplace for a touch of old-world charm, plus a wooden table for sharing meals. The kitchen is flooded with natural light. Upstairs are three peaceful bedrooms – a king-size, a double, and a bunk room – along with a stylish shower room. The gravelled garden outside is a true treat for both you and your pet, with its magnificent mountain views and plenty of space for the dogs to sniff about. There’s a charcoal BBQ for al fresco dining, a handy bike shed for storing outdoor gear and private parking for two cars.
From scenic mountain climbs to riverside strolls and beach days, there’s no shortage of dog-friendly fun nearby. If you’re the hiking types, head 5 miles to Cader Idris for a proper climb with rewarding vistas, or venture to the beaches at Aberdovey (11.5 miles) and Fairbourne (15 miles) for sandy paws and sea air. This property also offers guests fishing rights for the nearby river so feel free to bring your fishing equipment along to enjoy that bit of tranquillity.
