About this property
This impressive cottage provides a peaceful and comfortable base for families, friends and four-pawed companions to relax and create memories exploring the natural beauty of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. In a superb setting by the river in Ganllwyd, it’s surrounded by beautiful woodlands, with the renowned Coed y Brenin Forest Park on the doorstep – a paradise for lovers of the outdoors. Offering an extensive network of well-marked footpaths and cycle routes, it’s the perfect place for walks, picnics and adventures in nature. For a change of pace, head to the nearby market town of Dolgellau (6 miles), where you’ll find independent shops, cafes, eateries and the scenic Mawddach Trail. Spend an afternoon in Barmouth (12 miles) and enjoy breathtaking views across the Mawddach Estuary before discovering its sandy beach, picturesque harbour, museum, funfair, local boutiques and a great choice of places to eat.
As you arrive at this detached stone cottage, you can’t help but stop and take in its beautiful surroundings – listen to the wildlife, river, and rustling woodland before stepping inside. Beautifully renovated, the property celebrates its period features while adding high-end, contemporary twists. The hall has a large table for casual dining, board games and desk space. You will also find a handy WC here. Continue through to the utility, where there’s a washing machine and tumble dryer, alongside space for outdoor attire. The hub of the house is the open-plan living/kitchen/dining area, a sociable space with rugged beams, a striking wood burner, comfortable sofa and Smart TV – perfect for relaxed gatherings. The fabulous kitchen will be a delight for the allocated chef, with granite worktops, a Belfast sink and all the equipment needed for cooking up Welsh feasts. Enjoy your meals at the dining table, perfectly positioned by the glass doors. After dinner, walk through to the sumptuous lounge with exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and another Smart TV. When you’re ready for bed, head upstairs to choose from four wonderful bedrooms, all offering gorgeous country views: two king-size rooms, one of which boasts a Smart TV, a restful double bedroom and a cosy twin, all served by a well-appointed shower room.
Unwind out in the garden, which catches the sun for most of the day and into the evening, with the sounds of nature as your backdrop. Enjoy al fresco dining at the table and chairs, embracing the views and watching out for local wildlife. A charcoal BBQ and fire pit add to the fun. With private parking for four cars, coming and going is easy.
