Nestled above the tranquil village of Abergynolwyn, this welcoming farmhouse provides an idyllic retreat for couples and solo travellers eager to explore the coast and countryside of southern Eryri/Snowdonia National Park. Offering commanding views over the valley and surrounding mountain range, this dog-friendly abode boasts immediate access to an array of scenic walking and cycling routes. After days of enjoying peaceful riverside strolls or challenging mountain hikes, this homely bolthole invites you to reconnect with nature and enjoy the best of rural Wales.

Inside, this farmhouse brims with rustic character, featuring wooden beams, exposed stone walls and a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The light-filled kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for culinary creativity, while the lounge/diner has patio doors framing sweeping views over the village and valley beyond. After a day on the trails, put your feet up in the cosy lounge, warmed by a wood-burner-effect electric fire. Upstairs, the mezzanine-level double bedroom is a sanctuary of relaxation, complete with lovely views to greet you each morning and an en-suite for added comfort. The property’s charm continues outside, where an open gravel garden provides a wonderful spot for al fresco dining with a charcoal BBQ and uninterrupted vistas. A lockable bike shed and private parking for two cars add to the convenience.

Abergynolwyn is a gateway to some of Snowdonia’s most captivating experiences. Hop on the steam train (the station is half a mile away) to the magical Dolgoch Falls (2.5 miles) or set out for the summit of Cader Idris (5 miles). For a day at the coast, the sandy beaches of Fairbourne and Aberdovey are within 14.5 miles.
