About this property

Spend quality time with your family in the country on an adventure-filled break to Snowdonia National Park at this traditional stone-built cottage. Known for its scenic forest mountain biking trails, Penmachno is a great place for adrenaline junkies with plenty of opportunities to try new skills and get active on land and water from your front door. Once your day activities are done, there’s nothing quite like heading home to relax in front of the wood burner or sitting out on the sunny terrace soaking in the serenity of this part of Wales.

Boasting two living rooms, you can take your pick of locations to put your feet up, with the main lounge benefitting from the light pouring through the bay windows whilst you enjoy the warming glow of the wood burner. Or step into the sitting room for quiet time with a good book. What’s more, there’s also a children’s room at the rear of the property equipped with games and a TV ensuring every member of the family is catered for. Come morning, noon or night, you can fix up hearty meals in the modern kitchen and serve them up in the elegant dining room where there are seats for six guests. All three bedrooms are located on the first floor, sharing the use of the family bathroom and separate shower room. Two of the bedrooms are delightful doubles, decorated in a muted colour palette, whilst the final room is a twin, perfect for children. When the sun is shining, step out into the garden to cook up a feast on the BBQ, or play games in the lawned garden to make the most of the great outdoors.

For a majestic sight, head to Aber Falls to see the water dramatically cascade 37m into the rocky pool. Or why not opt for something a little more challenging and climb to the summit of Snowdon(19 miles) for breathtaking scenery on Wales’ highest mountain. Zip World (5 miles) offers a whole host of adrenaline-inducing activities for you to try, from speeding at the height of the treetops on a zip line to giant swings, underground trampolining and high ropes courses for all the family.
