The details
This pretty little cottage looks like something plucked from a fairytale land. It’s settled right in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park in the picturesque village of Maentwrog. The building itself is a Grade II listed former primary school and is surrounded by beautiful countryside on the banks of the
River Dwyryd.
The cottage is luxuriously decorated with oak floorings, 2 leather sofas that face the log fire. The fitted kitchen makes cooking a romantic meal for two at home an absolute pleasure - it comes with high-spec appliances such as an induction hob, granite worktops, a Belfast sink, large fridge/freezer and even subtle mood lighting. The bathroom is lavish with a tiled wet room, ceiling shower and a decadent Jacuzzi.
The bedroom is of course just as well appointed - with a king size double bed, elegant bedside tables with matching lamps, luxurious curtains and Egyptian Sheets that finish the room beautifully. As well as the log fire - there is under floor heating throughout the cottage.
The cottage is in the village of Maentwrog - which though small is absolutely stunning and there is plenty to do in the area. There are two traditional pubs in the area - both of which sell food, Just outside the cottage. There are a number of walks that will take you through some of Snowdonia’s most captivating scenery - and Mount Snowdon is just 30 minutes away - should you wish to ascend some 1000 metres above sea level. If you enjoy the water then you should take a trip to the Tryweryn River to try a little white water rafting - or if you prefer to stay dry, perhaps have a go at mountain biking in Bleunau.
When it comes to doing your shopping - then Porthmadog - just 10 minutes away from the cottage - will have everything that you need. If you feel like a day trip - then try Harlech that has a number of beaches, a castle and even a golf course - should the desire take you. Don’t miss the incredibly charming Ffestionig steam train, which passes close to the village.

Sympathetically renovated respecting the building heritage. On arrival we were treated to a welcome tray of true Welsh cakes. Took advantage of the firewood provided which enabled us to have a cosy night in.

What a find! The cottage is so quaint, cosy and very well equipped. Amazing shower, very comfortable bed. We made full use of the log burner, thanks to the delightful February weather! It's a perfect little bolthole for curling up with a bottle of wine after a day exploring. Great location for walking and getting around and The Grapes Hotel is literally at the end of the road, serving excellent food ...the Sunday carvery was very good. We will definitely be back!
