3 Bedroom Cottage in Dolgellau

This beautiful property, located just 4 miles from the pretty village of Dolgellau, is the perfect bolthole for families looking to stay among the stunning countryside of Snowdonia National Park. Sleeping six across three peaceful bedrooms and with space for up to two dogs, the whole family can enjoy this stunning part of North Wales. Spend hours in the garden on sunny evenings, sizzling up the BBQ and dining alfresco among views of Cadair Idris.

The property, which sits on 35 acres of farmland, is cosy and welcoming. The bright and airy kitchen blends the traditional and contemporary seamlessly, with sleek steel features, slate flooring and wooden units. In the lounge, exposed beams, a stone fireplace and delightful farmhouse-style furniture beckon you to curl up in front of the wood burner after a long day out walking in the hills. Soak aching muscles in the bathroom on the first floor before heading to bed in one of the tranquil bedrooms; each has a tasteful neutral decor to help you drift off to sleep, while the second double room provides wonderful mountain views to wake up to.

Get out and explore the owners’ hill farm, where there are woodland walks and fishing on the River Wnion to keep you busy all day. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (11.5 miles) is ideal for more walks, or going on a family bike ride with mountain bikes hired from Britain’s first purpose-built mountain bike centre. Kids will love the stories told at King Arthur’s Labyrinth while guided tours at Corris Mine Explorers (both 9.5 miles) offer an immersive experience for the whole family. For your seaside fix, head to Barmouth Beach (13.5 miles) where you could try your hand at surfing or bodyboarding if you’re brave enough.
