Situated near Coed y Brenin, in the Snowdonia National Park, Stabal y Gelli is a ground floor holiday home in an architecturally designed barn conversion that sympathetically combines traditional materials with modern sleek lines throughout. This light and airy property benefits from underfloor heating and a sloping glass roof. The open plan living areas are flooded with natural daylight and the kitchen is well-appointed for all your cooking needs. Each bedroom boasts attractive decor, ample storage and the added luxury of an en suite. Outside there's a shared garden space with outdoor seating and breath-taking views of the Rhinogydd Mountains. Situated in one of Wales' Dark Skies Reserves, it is a perfect location for stargazing. 

For larger parties, there are two further cottages within the same barn conversion (Beudy'r Gelli and above is Dowlod y Gelli) all 3 sleeping a total of 10 people.

Perfect venue for those looking for an active holiday. There's no shortage of trails and hikes to explore nearby with direct access to many. Coed y Brenin Forest just around 1.5mi from your front door where you can take a peaceful walk through the woodland and discover the natural beauty of Rhaeadr Mawddach and Pistyll Gain waterfalls, enjoy a scenic riverside picnic or cycle down some brilliant mountain biking trails. Slightly further afield is Cadair Idris, the highest and one of the most popular peaks to ascend in Southern Snowdonia. For a spot of lunch after your climb, head to Dolgellau, a town steeped in history and bursting with independent shops and eateries to enjoy. For a wonderful day out, take a trip to Blaenau Ffestiniog and discover the numerous local activities such as Ffestiniog Railway, cycling at Antur Stiniog (14 mi) and adventure at Zip World Slate Caverns (15 mi). The beaches of Abermaw and Fairbourne are around 15 miles from the cottage as well as the remains of Harlech Castle, a magnificent coastal fortress just 30 minutes away by car.

This was excellent cottage for someone with limited mobility. Took my 87yr old mother, everything all on one level. Very rare to find somewhere like this in North Wales with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Cottage very light and airy, with excellent decor and facilities. We hope to return and would certainly recommend. Thanks.

Lovely stay in Stabal Y Gelli and cosy and warm in the wet weather as Storm Ciaran went through. Great to be so close to Coed-Y-Brenin for cycling plus easy to get to the Mawddach Trail. Nice places to eat at Penmaenpool and Barmouth and within reach of Portmerion and Bodnant for sightseeing when it was too wet or windy for cycling or getting into Read morethe mountains. Cottage is well equipped and clean and added bonus of a delicious Bara Brith waiting for us on arrival thanks to the owner. Hide

We found this to be a perfect holiday home, and with such a warm welcome from our hosts. It is set in beautiful gardens and is just off a very convenient road to get to and from Dolgellau and a reasonable drive to lots of other lovely parts of the area, including beaches. Inside the accommodation is top quality, very comfortable and spotlessly cleRead morean. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. For eating out there are excellent places in town, a 15 minute drive. There was a loaf of homemade bara brith along with tea and milk to welcome us. I even got the recipe for the bara brith from Gwyneth as it was so delicious and I'm a keen baker. We can't recommend this holiday home enough and hope to return. Hide
