Enjoy scenic lakeside strolls from the doorstep of this characterful stone cottage, which sits on the edge of Eryri’s stunning Rhinog mountain range. Perfect for any pet-loving family of four, pack-pleasing features inside include a wood burner and games room, while a heated summerhouse in the garden adds all-season appeal.
Accessed by a single-track lane on the fringe of Trawsfynydd, this two-bedroomed abode serves up an authentic taste of south Gwynedd life, with a village shop and inn just 100m away. Original beams and an inglenook fireplace confirm the cottage’s heritage; step into the lounge and a Smart TV and wood burner set the scene for companionable down-time with loved ones. Conveniently close, the contemporary kitchen creates a second social space, opening into a light and airy games room with a library area, football table and door onto the garden. As sleep-time approaches, settle the pups in their beds here then head upstairs where a spacious double and a bunk-bedded room await. For ultimate convenience, a stylish shower room is on the ground floor. Lap up the drool-inducing views from the garden; with steps up to the lawn, a summerhouse with heating, and views towards the lake, it’s a lovely spot for al fresco dining.
On-road parking nearby means that, once unpacked, you can explore at your leisure – sniff out the paths around Trawsfynydd Lake – Wales’ third largest – or visit fascinating Tomen y Mur, one of the most complete Roman military complexes in Britain, just 4 miles north of the village. For an alternative trip back in time, dogs are welcome on the Ffestiniog Railway, which runs between the harbour in Porthmadog (13 miles) to the slate-quarrying town of Blaenau Ffestiniog (9.5 miles).
