Located in the picturesque village of Llwyngwril in the Snowdonia National Park, this charming semi-detached stone cottage offers character accommodation with exposed beams, slate flagged floors, and a beautiful stone inglenook fireplace with a woodburner. The cottage is situated by the River Gwril and is just a minute's walk from the village amenities, with the beach only a 10-minute walk away, perfect for leisurely walks and rock-pooling. The area is ideal for outdoor activities such as climbing, surfing, and cycling, making it a great destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Built in 1855, the cottage has 2ft thick stone walls that can change temperature with the weather, and guests may encounter seasonal effects such as mud and wet footwear. Despite these quirks, the cottage is described as a cozy sun trap from 11am until sunset, offering a unique and rustic experience for those who appreciate a more authentic and natural setting. The owner, Joe, assures guests that although there may be spiders, those who are not deterred by these details will not be disappointed with their stay.
Surrounded by the beauty of the Snowdonia National Park, guests staying at this cottage can enjoy the tranquility of a rural setting and the calming presence of the nearby river. Local landmarks such as Cymer Abbey and Barmouth Bridge are within reach, while activities like birdwatching and game walks allow visitors to connect with nature and explore the wildlife of the area. With its proximity to the coast, this cottage offers a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Wales.
