This traditional Welsh cottage nestled deep in Snowdonia National Park is the dream location for fresh air lovers of both the human and canine kind. It’s in a rural spot 3 miles from Dolgellau, with plenty of tail-waggingly good walks leading from your front door. With space for up to five human guests and one dog, this detached property is ideal for a family or group of friends seeking a scenic adventure in one of Wales’ most popular spots. The dog will love bounding around the large grassy garden while the humans lap up the stunning surrounding views over morning coffee.
The inside of this welcoming holiday home is decorated in a warm and cosy style, with artwork on the wall, splashes of colour and plenty of lamps for creating a pleasant atmosphere. When you’ve been out walking all day, get the open fire going and settle in for the evening with a film while your pet warms her fur near the flames. The dining room is a lovely space with a bay window, you can enjoy meals prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. If it’s war, sizzle up some doggie-tantalising treats on the BBQ and tuck into them in the garden while your pet does those eyes at you for a spare sausage.
Remember to pack your hiking shoes, as you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to top-quality walks nearby. For a short walk in the nearby area, Torrent Walk (0.5 miles) is a popular 1.5-mile circular route along the River Clywedog. The longer Precipice Walk (4 miles away, 3.5 miles long), is another excellent option. History fans won’t want to miss a visit to the 12th-century Cymer Abbey ruins (4.5 miles, dogs welcome). If the sea air is calling, head to Barmouth (12.5 miles) for some sandy-pawed adventures followed by a fish-and-chips supper.
