This traditional quarryman’s cottage sits on the northern fringes of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in North Wales, offering the perfect base for couples and small families planning days of outdoor adventure together. With the Ogwen Valley on your doorstep, it couldn’t be easier to step out and join the network of walking and cycling trails – starting with the ramble to the scenic town of Bethesda (1.5 miles). Here, discover a wealth of local pubs and shops, and venture on to spend a thrilling afternoon at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (3 miles). Soak up the region’s history with a visit to the walled market town of Conwy (15 miles), overlooked by Conwy Castle, or head in the opposite direction to the royal town of Caernarfon (11 miles), made famous by the 13th-century Caernarfon Castle. For gentle coastal adventures, the seaside town of Llanfairfechan and the island of Anglesey are both within 18.5 miles.
Step into this characterful 19th-century home and find space in the entrance hallway to kick off your walking boots and hang coats. Discover a charming lounge/diner that blends original cottage features with modern comforts, including exposed wooden beams and stone walls. Here, sink into the soft seating, flick on the Smart TV, and bask in the glow of the wood burner. A cute wooden dining table sits in the light of the window, affording views of the garden. A stylish kitchen stands ready with all the amenities needed for a self-catered stay. As the day draws to a close, head upstairs and find the two welcoming bedrooms: a restful double room and a cosy bunk room. Serving the bedrooms and completing the home is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Outside, you’ll find a choice of peaceful spaces to unwind. To the front, an enclosed garden features lawn space, bench seating, and a games shed with table football. At the rear, a wildlife garden offers mature shrubbery, winding footpaths, and outdoor furniture perfect for quiet morning coffees and evening tipples. Private parking for three cars makes your arrival and day trips easy.
