The master bedroom has fantastic views towards the Moelwyn mountain range and benefits a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. The double bedroom has garden access out onto the decked area, which enjoys a craggy backdrop and is a great place to enjoy an early morning cuppa. Last but not least is a spacious twin-bedded room enjoying the same mountainous views. A family bathroom completes this lovely holiday home. Outside there is an area for bike storage, with a secure lock to keep bikes safe but it’s the terraced garden and elevated decked seating area which makes this property rather special. Here you can enjoy alfresco dining with some amazing views encompassing the Vale of Ffestiniog, the Moelwyn mountain range and Stwlan Dam. The decked areas twinkle at night with an array of solar powered lighting making it a lovely place for a night cap, in the warmer weather.
