    “A fantastic cottage in stunning surroundings!”

    The cottage had everything we needed for an enjoyable week's stay; large kitchen with all the amenities but the fridge was small with a tiny freezer so don't buy too much frozen food. Living room is cosy with a relaxing ambience, we loved our evenings in front of the electric log-effect fire. The WiFi speed is quite low at around 5mbs download so be aware if this is important to you. The bedroom with the skylight was great and loved the moonlight shining through(can be covered if you wish) plus ...

    The cottage had everything we needed for an enjoyable week's stay; large kitchen with all the amenities but the fridge was small with a tiny freezer so don't buy too much frozen food. Living room is cosy with a relaxing ambience, we loved our evenings in front of the electric log-effect fire. The WiFi speed is quite low at around 5mbs download so be aware if this is important to you. The bedroom with the skylight was great and loved the moonlight shining through(can be covered if you wish) plus the bathroom was great for us, the shower was surprisingly good! There's plenty of walking routes from the cottage too, a great bonus and we went for a stroll every day. We loved the isolation of being in the hills but the lane from the main road up to the cottage is around 1 mile long and almost entirely single lane, be prepared to reverse if you meet another car coming towards you! Overall a great stay though and would happily return to explore more of Snowdonia.

The property

Set on the outskirts of Dyffryn Ardudwy, a countryside village in Gwynedd on a working farm, is this stone-fronted, single-storey cottage, Caerffynon Bach.

Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, Caerffynon Bach is the perfect escape for a couple looking for a romantic break among the Welsh hills; the cottage sleeps two guests and is an adult-only property.

Travelling down the country lane, beyond the neighbouring sheep, make use of the private driveway, whilst taking in the breath-taking views and stillness that surrounds your new abode.

Entering the open-plan living space, be wowed by the traditionally renovated interior, with exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and preserved beams; prepare a home-cooked meal in the well-equipped kitchen, warm up in front of the gas effect log burner, or simply enjoy each other’s company over your favourite film.

To the front of the cottage, you will arrive at an enclosed garden, fully remote and enveloped by rolling hills, stone walls, original pigsties and the tranquillity of the countryside; enjoy alfresco dining, a morning coffee, or a late-night tipple with your loved one in this secluded setting.

As sleep calls, venture to the king-size bedroom, continuing through the homely interior, with vaulted ceilings, Velux windows and wooden furniture; relax in bed with the TV on as a backdrop.

The cottage is completed with a contemporary walk-in shower room, finished with sleek fixtures and a light-up mirror, perfect for getting ready before a day of exploration.

Caerffynon Bach is encircled by a range of walking trails, including the renowned Rhingos route up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdonia) Mountain, whilst there are an array of seaside villages and towns to also visit, just a short car journey away.

For relaxing days at the beach, travel to Morfa Bychan, enjoy the uninterrupted stretch of Harlech Beach, or opt for a stroll down Barmouth Pier.

For a taste of history, tour Criccieth Castle, take in the grandeur of Harlech Castle, or enjoy an adventure to Portmeirion Lighthouse.

Llanfair Slate Caverns, Portmeirion Village, Nantcol Waterfalls and New Precipice Walk are all on your doorstep, popular hidden gems to enjoy as a couple.

Retreat to the countryside for a romantic getaway by choosing Caerffynon Bach as your Gwynedd abode.

About the location

DYFFRYN ARDUDWY

Harlech 5 miles; Barmouth 5 miles.

The pleasant village of Dyffryn Ardudwy quietly nestles between The Rhinogs, part of the Yr Wyddfa (Snowdonia) Mountains, and the stunning golden beaches of the North Wales coastline. The unusual positioning of this charming village results in it having its own mild climate, as well as offering good local shops and pubs. The surrounding area has an exciting array of wildlife and birds including soaring buzzards. The small town of Harlech is just 4 miles away, dominated by its majestic 13th century castle which is a World Heritage Site, and the most impressive of all the castles built in North Wales by Edward I. Popular with golfers due to its famous Royal St. David's course, Harlech also boasts an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants. Nearby Barmouth offers an amazing Panorama Walk with breathtaking views and also a harbour from which you can enjoy a ferry to Fairbourne for a ride on the miniature railway or a boat trip out to sea to try mackerel fishing. With the delights of Snowdonia National Park and beautiful Cardigan Bay to discover, this is a fantastic holiday location at any time of the year.
