2 Bed Cottage in Abergynolwyn

About this property

Nestled in the Welsh village of Abergynolwyn in the south of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), this former slate quarryman’s cottage is the perfect dog-friendly getaway for a couple or small family.

Convene in the heart of the home filled with warm rustic touches such as flagstone flooring, exposed beams and characterful period features. Settle into the sumptuous sofas and relax in front of the crackling wood burner. The charming open-plan kitchen/diner beckons with its unique blend of country touches and contemporary appliances. Set the dining table for four guests and enjoy a home-cooked meal within the confines of this character cottage. The Shaker-style kitchen boasts wonderful views over to the mountains beyond. Climb the steep, cottage-style stairs to the first floor, where you’ll find two well-appointed bedrooms – a zip-and-link super-king-size (that can be made into twins) and a cosy double bedroom. A contemporary-styled shower room completes this floor. Outside, steps lead up to the enclosed garden, which is mainly laid to lawn. At the near end, stylish decking complete with bistro set provides the perfect place for morning coffee. At the far end you’ll find a cute patio area with furniture and a fire-pit/griddle, where you can enjoy an al fresco supper and take in the magnificent mountain views. The hillside path from the cottage is a great spot for stargazing – be sure to check it out on a clear night. Enjoy walking beside the cascading river and even take a cold plunge!
