Dog-loving couples eager to reconnect with nature in Eryri - The Snowdonia National Park will find sanctuary at this former copper miner’s cottage. Standing amongst the rugged hills that oversee the confluence of the Glaslyn and Colwyn rivers, and just 7.5 miles from Porthmadog, the cottage offers open-plan living areas, an inviting double bedroom, and front-row seats to an unforgettable rural vista from its patio.
The cottage’s interior is a real feast for the senses thanks to original features including exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. The cosy open-plan living/dining kitchen area is a comfortable space to fortify yourselves ahead of a long hill walk or coastal adventure. You can look forward to comfortable evenings upon your return, whether enjoying a candle-lit dinner or snuggling up in front of the wood burner. Steep stairs lead to the first floor, which contains a shower room and a traditionally styled king-size bedroom enjoying views of the valley. Sip a morning coffee on the small patio at the front of the cottage, or just admire the view to get inspiration for the day ahead.
Beddgelert (0.5 miles) is often associated with the folk tale of Gerlert, the wolfhound of Llywelyn the Great; you’re sure to appreciate your dog even more after hearing the story in the village’s pubs and eateries. Beddgelert is one of many scenic stops on the Welsh Highland Railways, which runs between Caernarfon (13 miles) and Porthmadog (7.5 miles), home to stunning coastlines and dog-friendly attractions.
