At a glance

  • Barn conversion located within a 50-acre estate in pretty North Wales
  • Single-storey property surrounded by unspoilt countryside views
  • Many original features maintained, including arched windows, wooden ceiling beams and stone walls

Property code: OC-76024

Spectacular cottage in every sense of the word. This conversion retains all its original features, including floor to ceiling arched windows, high ceilings with skylights, beams and stone walls. Add to that the tranquil, rural surroundings and the scene is set if you wish to relax and do absolutely nothing for the duration of you holiday. However, it should also be mentioned that Wales’ highest mountain (Snowdon), Greenwood Forest Park, the National Water Sports Centre for Wales and the longest zip wire in Europe are all within minutes of your doorstep, which also makes it perfect for activity holidays in Wales.

Ground Floor

New, contemporary white glossy kitchen including electric cooker, dishwasher, fridge with ice-box and microwave. Wonderful garden views, original stone walls, high beams and spotlights all combine to create a light, spacious atmosphere. Stable doors (top half glazed) open up to the rear patio area.

The beautiful living / dining area includes original beams, stone walls and large patio doors in an arched frame offering stunning countryside views and a great sense of space. These open up to the patio area and to the fields beyond. You really could sit back on the leather settees or on the patio seats and spend all day admiring and absorbing the tranquil, green surroundings. Alternatively, if you're here for activity holidays in Wales, there is no better way to end the day than to come home to a comfortable sofa with calming, extensive views. The living area also includes a Georgian dining table and a 32” wall mounted TV/DVD player.

Bedroom 1 - Light and airy double bedroom with high ceilings, original beams, stone walls and countryside views. Dressing table and plenty of storage space in the wardrobe and drawers.

Bedroom 2 - Spacious twin bedroom, again with original stone walls and beams. Includes a skylight window, large wardrobe and a chest of drawers.

Bathroom includes a bath with a shower above and a heated towel rail. Illuminated mirror, shaving point, original stone walls and recessed spot lighting.

Garden

Expansive patio area with a range of modern patio furniture, fire pits and traditional stone walls. Similar to the lounge, the views from the patio are spectacular and it’s a wonderful spot for wildlife and bird watching.

Such a lovely cottage in an amazing location, with lovely hosts. Very peaceful, the perfect place to get off the planet for 5 mins. The cottage itself is really cosy, and well thought out. (We loved the quirky standard lamp). Situated in the middle of the countryside, but only 5 mins drive away to Bangor. Perfect location to explore Snowdonia, orRead more just to chill out, go for walks and watch the birds. We will be booking again. Hide

Very comfortable and cosy, lovely views of sheep and birds in the garden. The area was tranquil and remote, very easy to relax in. The bed was very comfy, I don't usually sleep well away from my home but I slept very well here. We didn't have a car so there was a lot of walking, but it was very enjoyable. Once you get out to Y Felinheli there are gRead morereat transport links to various areas around North Wales; we found it easy to get to places like Caernarfon, Holyhead, Llanberis, and Beaumaris. Owners were wonderful hosts and have really made the cottage very welcoming. Hide

Comfort- the matresses were uncomfortable could feel all the springs through them. The bathroom door scraped the floor noisily, but pointed this out to the owners and they were fixing it as we left. Lovely quiet location, important for us as we live on a farm with nearest neighbours and road 1/2 mile away but 'townies' might not like the very bumpyRead more track. Hide
