Park up on the roadside before making your way into your new, stone-fronted dwelling.

After dining indoors, head into the garden for a game of pool, before climbing up to the elevated lawned area to watch the sun set over Gwynedd. Catch some rest from one of three well-appointed bedrooms, including a king-size and two doubles, before awakening to a shower in the bathroom. Once you're ready to explore, head into Blaenau Ffestiniog to stock up on the essentials, before enjoying a fun-filled day out at the Zip World Llechwedd, with its Bounce Below attraction, perfect for all the family; whilst in the area, don your walking boots for a hike alongside Cwmorthin Waterfall, before enjoying a bite to eat at the Lakeside Cafe. Further hidden gems to explore across the national park include the Rhaeadr Y Graig Lwyd, Fairy Glen, and Rhaeadr Ewynnol Swallow Falls Waterfall, before heading to the coast for seaside vistas. Portmeirion village is a car journey away, brimming with independent shops and delightful eateries, whilst Porthmadog is a popular area, where you can board the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, stroll along Morfa Bychan Beach, or wildlife watch across the North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, before returning home in time for supper.

Blaenau Ffestiniog, a wonderful old slate town, is ideally positioned to explore the Snowdonia National Park. There is a wide variety of stores, bars, and restaurants. One of the primary local draws is Zip World Slate Caverns, the longest and fastest zip line in the world and a fantastic underground adventure. Since unesco designated the slate mines as a world historic site, tourists can now take fascinating subterranean tours to witness mining as it was done in the past. 13 miles of the renowned narrow gauge Ffestiniog mountain railway also passes through the Snowdonia National Park on its way to Porthmadog, a harbour town.
