This characterful 18th-century cottage is your quirky home in the hills of North Wales, perfect for a romantic break away (with your dog as the third wheel, of course). Situated in the village of Llwyngwril, on a breathtaking coastal road, the cottage provides a cosy base from which to explore the climbs of Snowdonia.
The property is full of period features, unusual rooms, and contemporary touches. Enter into your open-plan living room and kitchen, with flagstone floors and an original hearth. Cottage-style stairs take you up to your charming double bedroom and seaside-themed bathroom. Outside, the garden has been designed with surprise in mind. Little paths, a fire pit, a charcoal BBQ, and inviting lights for open-air evenings heighten the romance. At the edge of the patio, a natural rill provides the relaxing soundtrack of water trickling down to a nearby stream. Most importantly, it’s a safe, fun space for your dogs to chill out in.
You’ll have to make many return-trips to cover all the sights and attractions of Aberdovey and the surrounding landscape. Described as “one of Britain’s breathing spaces,” Snowdonia is a world unto itself. First comes the beach, less than a mile away, perfect for checking “sandy paws” off the bucket list. From the cottage, a beautiful 27-mile drive will bring you to Harlech Castle and its atmospheric grounds. And if wildlife and waterfalls are your thing, try a visit to the Dyfi estuary, 23 miles away, where sea, sky, and mountains meet, or the Dolgoch Falls, 11 miles away.
