About this property
Llanbedr 3.5 miles. This stone-built, Grade II listed, semi-detached cottage is situated on a working sheep farm, down a private lane, in the Snowdonia National Park. Formerly the boiler room of the owner's 500-year old farmhouse, the cottage has been lovingly refurbished to a very high standard and contains a wonderful, open stone fireplace with a woodburning stove and the property's original bread oven. There's also delightful wood beams and a modern open plan kitchen with breakfast bar, opening into the cosy sitting area. Ideally placed for exploring the majestic mountains, along with the fabulous footpaths of Snowdonia, which trail from the doorstep, this cottage nestles in a peaceful part of North Wales, making it a wonderful place for a rural romantic retreat. Plus, with the seaside towns of Harlech and Porthmadog just a short drive away, this superb character cottage caters for everybody's needs.
Property can be booked with Refs. 1001479, together they can sleep 9 people.
The village of Llanbedr quietly nestles between the Snowdonia Mountains and the stunning beaches of the North Wales coastline. Boasting its own mild climate due to its unusual positioning and an array of wildlife and birds including soaring buzzards, Llanbedr provides good local shops and an excellent pub. The town of Harlech is just 3 miles away, dominated by its majestic 13th Century castle, the most impressive of all thosebuilt in North Wales by Edward I. Popular with golfers due to its famous Royal St. David's course, Harlech also boasts an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants. With the delights of Snowdonia National Park and beautiful Cardigan Bay to discover, this is a fantastic holiday location at any time of the year.

The owners were incredibly kind and helpful! No mobile signal but very reliable WiFi, nice big bath, walks right from the doorstep, and wonderfully remote (exactly what I was after). For any nervous drivers: I did struggle a little on the lanes to the cottage as someone not confident reversing when meeting cars on the single track (eek) but I found that if I always checked my route from the cottage headed towards Llanbedr instead of Harlech the roads were a little bit easier. Just in case that helps anyone else!
