Bring your canine companions to this impressive holiday property for gentle strolls and challenging hikes in the glorious scenery of Wales's Tanat Valley. An array of amenities makes this the perfect choice for large groups of all ages, whether friends or families, celebrating a special occasion.

Take in the glorious views as you head up the hill to this characterful property. The light-filled kitchen/diner has a long dining table that will accommodate everyone, and the kitchen includes a huge, American-style fridge/freezer as well as a microwave and dishwasher. Feed your pups here, or in the utility room upstairs. Also on the ground floor are two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin. Heading upstairs, you'll find a glamorous lounge with an apex ceiling, comfortable seating and a wood burner. Just the spot to curl up with a good book while your pets snuggle in their beds nearby. There's a Smart TV in the cosy snug, three steps down. The remaining bedrooms are also on this level (please bear in mind that there are lots of internal steps in this historic property). One of the king-size bedrooms has a bath in the room itself, as well as an en-suite shower room, and there's one further en-suite shower room as well as a family bathroom and a family shower room. For fresh air, take your hounds to the patio that leads to a sloping lawn. Grill something tasty on the BBQ, play table tennis or darts, or jump in the hot tub, all the while enjoying panoramic countryside views.

For exhilarating days out, head to the limestone hill of Bwrdd Arthur, 10.5 miles, or Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall (8 miles). Woofsters are welcome on the Bala Lake Railway, which puffs from Bala (15 miles), through the Snowdonia National Park to pretty Llanuwchllyn and back.

A beautiful cottage in very scenic surroundings. The property is great but getting to is was a challenge! We weren't aware until receiving the arrival instructions about the track to the property not being suitable for low suspension vehicles and feel this should be stated before booking. Luckily one of our party had a 4x4 and had to taxi the rest Read moreof us from the village as there is no parking nearby if you can't get up the track. Hide

Beautiful location for large groups and family gatherings. Well appointed barn with plenty of space for all ages. Lovely walks nearby, very quiet location, and plenty to see and visit within a few miles. The hot tub was great fun and just what we needed to relax in. Friendly neighbours as well. To make it extra special we even had snow!

Absolutely fabulous property for get togethers. Beautiful quiet location, plenty of parking, loads of crockery/cooking equipment in the kitchen, bedrooms nicely spaced out, lots of room, house is very warm. Few things just need touching up e.g stiff doors but very homely. Clear instructions and helpful info about the property. WiFi is very temperamRead moreental but was even worse than portrayed in the listing (we only wanted to watch films/use their speaker system which we couldn't do) Would come back!
