About this property
This semi-detached, 17th century, stone-built Llanbedr cottage is situated on a 500-acre working sheep and beef farm, located down a private lane in the Snowdonia National Park. Standing in the beautiful Cwm Bychan valley, this holiday cottage is surrounded by wooded hills and majestic mountains and offers basic yet comfortable accommodation, featuring an impressive stone inglenook fireplace with a woodburner and exposed oak beams, while the kitchen offers a breakfast bar and dining area. This welcoming holiday cottage is ideally placed for exploring the mountains and footpaths of Snowdonia from the doorstep and, located in a peaceful and remote part of North Wales, this cottage makes a wonderful place for a romantic retreat. With the seaside towns of Harlech and Porthmadog just a short drive away, this cosy cottage caters for everybody's needs.
Llanbedr is a pretty village situated between The Rhinogs, part of the Snowdonia Mountains and the North Wales coastline and provides good local shops and an excellent pub. Just three miles away is the small town of Harlech, which is dominated by its 13th century castle. The town is also home to the famous Royal St. David's course and fantastic restaurants. Other places nearby which are well worth a visit are Barmouth, Fairbourne, Snowdonia National Park and Cardigan Bay. Llanbedr is a perfect base all year round.

The road from Llanbedr up the valley is a little daunting at first to the farm. The working farm is very busy and the owners have been more than accommodating during our stay and looking out for our 4 cats.
