The comfy sitting room is perfect for a night in, with reclining sofa and armchairs and a lovely inglenook fireplace with a warming woodburning stove to enjoy.
The kitchen is well-appointed and has everything you’ll need, and the dining area provides a place to sit and enjoy a leisurely breakfast while you plan the day’s activities.
Upstairs, a modern, well-appointed shower room and two delightful and individually styled double bedrooms, each enjoying fantastic views.
At the front of the cottage is a small enclosed patio garden with table and chairs.
The patio provides a pleasant seating area to take full advantage of the superb panoramic views over the Vale of Maentwrog and with glimpses of the Ffestiniog steam train.
The surrounding area is fantastic for walkers, with Llyn Mair Nature Reserve only a few minutes’ away, a truly hidden gem with its beautiful lake and network of nature trails through ancient woodland which is a haven to birds and wildlife.
The lake is surrounded by mixed woodland that forms part of the extensive western Oakwood that comprises much of Coedydd Maentwrog, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest.
After a busy day walking in the woods and mountains, you can amble along to the renowned Grapes Hotel, a 17th century coaching Inn, which is only a short stroll from the cottage and offers home-cooked food, good wines and cask conditioned ales.
Travel up towards Blaenau Ffestiniog which is only 3 miles away and home to Zip World Titan, the longest zip wire in Europe.
You can also visit Bounce Below and Zip Caverns, a subterranean system of trampolines and zip wires deep underground.
If you would like to explore the area by bike, there is the Antur Stiniog Mountain Bike centre with its variety of trails and, of course, don’t leave out the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway which will take you to Porthmadog.
The Italianate village of Portmeirion is 5 miles away, together with historic castles and sandy beaches which are all only a short drive away.
There is so much on offer to keep you busy in the Snowdonia National Park, you’ll just have to come back to fit it all in!
Everything is within easy reach of this homely cottage which has something for everyone all year round.
