Enjoying an elevated position in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, this idyllic single-level stone cottage makes a lovely family holiday home. With plenty of space for two pups and five humans, this detached property is set within the owner’s private grounds and features spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. This is a charming base for keen walkers, climbers and cyclists, with opportunities nearby for activities including fishing, canoeing and boat trips.

This light and welcoming cottage features a stylishly furnished lounge/diner, a cosy space for relaxing with a good book or a movie while your faithful hounds play with their favourite toy together. You can share a family meal in the pretty dining area, which is also ideal for playing board games or planning the day’s exploits. The attractive and well-equipped kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. There are also three spacious bedrooms to choose from: a double, a twin and a single. Outside, you can enjoy an al fresco meal or a glass of wine in the enclosed and paved gravelled courtyard, where you can sit back and admire the beautiful scenery. And a long meadow garden provides space for Bella and Bruno to chase each other.

Dolgellau (1 mile) is a fantastic place for curious canines and their owners to visit, with a number of excellent dog-friendly pubs to relax in.

Heading to the coast you can take a water taxi from Fairbourne (8.5 miles) to Barmouth Harbour.
