The property

Bwthyn Mawr is a striking double-fronted Georgian cottage, Grade II listed and dating back to the 1700s.

Tucked away in a peaceful spot on the edge of the coastal village of Llanfair, it offers a tranquil setting that feels secluded without being remote.

Just a mile from the historic town of Harlech, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this delightful property sits on the fringes of Snowdonia National Park, where the mountains meet the sea.

Set within the grounds of the owners’ small country estate, the cottage enjoys access to shared facilities including a tennis court, woodland walks, gardens, and expansive lawns.

It’s a wonderful choice for couples, friends, or families seeking a restful break in North Wales.

Thoughtfully restored to a high standard, the cottage retains its original character while offering modern comforts.

The well-equipped kitchen, complete with an AGA, is stocked with fresh herbs from the garden.

The dining room overlooks the manicured lawns, and the sitting room provides a stylish space to unwind beside the woodburning stove.

Upstairs, two beautifully appointed bedrooms offer large, luxurious beds and garden views.

One features a super king-size bed that can be converted into twins.

The elegant bathroom, located off a split-level landing, includes a freestanding bath, a spacious drench shower, fluffy towels, and complimentary toiletries.

For added indulgence, the owners can arrange in-cottage treatments such as massages, manicures, or even a haircut.

Whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment in the garden, a stroll through the woods, or a game of tennis, the setting invites you to slow down and savour the surroundings.

With minimal light pollution, the night sky is perfect for stargazing, and you might even hear owls calling as evening falls.

Whatever your pace, Bwthyn Mawr is a superb base for exploring this captivating part of Wales at any time of year.

Note: You can book both 984219 - Bwthyn Mawr and 985108 - Bwthyn Canol together, sleeping a total of 8 guests.
