About this property

A beautiful double fronted, Grade II listed Georgian cottage, in a peaceful location, secluded yet not isolated, the cottage is on the outskirts of the coastal village of Llanfair, on the fringes of the Snowdonia National Park, with the historic castle town of Harlech, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, just a mile away. North Wales' coast and mountains are two of its most valuable assets, and you can enjoy both of them from this charming cottage. Lying within the grounds of the owners' own home, the cottage forms part of their small country estate with tennis court, woodland, gardens and extensive lawns, it's a fantastic holiday home for a couple, friends or a family looking for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. Lovingly and sympathetically renovated to a high standard, the cottage is beautifully maintained and well presented with great attention to detail and original features. In the well stocked kitchen, warmed by the AGA cooking range, you'll find fresh herbs picked from the owners’ garden. The dining room has views across the lawns and gardens and after dinner, you can curl up in front of the wood burning stove in the stylish, comfortable sitting room. Upstairs, two beautifully styled bedrooms have large, sumptuous beds and views over the gardens. One bedroom has a super king-size bed which can be divided into two singles. Just off the split level landing, the bathroom, with its roll top bath and separate big drench shower, comes with fluffy towels and complimentary toiletries. For an extra bit of pampering, the owners can arrange a manicure, massage or even a holiday haircut in the comfort of your cottage. This is the perfect place to sit back, let your shoulders drop and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this stunning place. Take a stroll around the gardens and woodland, enjoy a game of tennis, or just relax on the lawn with a drink as you look out over the countryside. With little light pollution, you can stargaze long into the night, and if you’re lucky, you’ll hear the owls wake up as you wind down. There's lots to do around the area. The nearest beach is a stroll across the fields, or a two minute drive. Harlech, with its castle, stunning beach and world famous links golf course, Royal St. Davids, is just over a mile away. The breathtaking Snowdonia National Park is right on your doorstep, and the seaside resorts of Barmouth and Criccieth are also within easy reach. There’s also Porthmadog, where you can hop onto the Ffestiniog railway, sit back, and enjoy the stunning scenery and be taken back in time as the world famous steam train chugs its way through the mountains. Portmeirion is also nearby, with its magical Italianate village overlooking the white sandy beaches of the Dwyryd Estuary. For the more adventurous, there's also lots to do, from cycling (the cottage is right on Cycle Route 8) and pony trekking, to the famous Zip World, with its 100 mile per hour ride. This is a perfect location from which to explore this delightful area any time of the year.

The pretty village of Llanfair has an impressive location, quietly nestling between the foothills of the Rhinog mountains and the stunning golden beach of Harlech, whilst also providing panoramic views over Shell Island and Cardigan Bay. Boasting its own mild climate due to its unusual positioning, and an exciting array of wildlife and birds including soaring buzzards, this traditional village is an ideal base for wonderful scenic walks in the surrounding countryside.
