Dive into coastal adventures in this secluded part of southern Snowdonia, where mountains meet the sea. This lovely cottage is ideal for a couple or small family, including two furry companions, who love outdoor adventures but also like to slow down the pace sometimes too. Wander down to the rocky beach or listen to the soothing sounds of the babbling stream as you sit out in the garden with a coffee while your contented canines enjoy the sun on their fur.
Inside, rustle up delicious meals in the sunny kitchen, using the views over the garden to inspire your culinary creations. Chew over the best bits of your day while savouring a homecooked supper together in the dining room. The lounge is a comfortable spot for cosy nights in watching a film on the Smart TV, with toes and paws outstretched in front of the crackling wood burner. Outside, the safely enclosed garden will be irresistible to your pups. It’s a real suntrap, and perfect for a sizzling BBQ feast. There’s also space to store bikes, paddleboards and canoes. With all that fresh Welsh air in your lungs, you’ll be raring to go for another adventure after a good night’s sleep.
Lead the way on walks along the coastal path towards the seaside village of Fairbourne (3 miles). Chase balls into the sea on the stretches of beach that are open to dogs throughout the year. A miniature steam train runs from here and links to a passenger ferry that you can take to Barmouth Quay with your faithful friends. To experience different sights and smells, visit the wetlands of RSPB Mawddach Valley (4 miles). Canines with plenty of stamina may enjoy a challenging climb up Cadair Idris (14 miles), the highest peak in southern Snowdonia.
