Dolgellau 2 miles. A superbly renovated, detached stone-built barn conversion, oozing a wealth of charm and character, is located in a stunning, tranquil countryside, on the owners' 100-acre working sheep farm, two miles from the market town of Dolgellau. Dating back 300 years and having its own private access along a short country track, this cottage is perfect for couples, friends and families, along with walkers and nature lovers. Carved out of a very old farm building, the cottage has an endearing, quirky charm, offering upside down accommodation renovated to a very high standard. It has even won an award through the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show for the best barn conversion in Gwynedd in 2016. This delightful cottage is beautifully furnished and well-equipped, and the welcoming ambience will not disappoint. Two bedrooms on the ground floor are stylish in design, each enjoying a large floor-to-ceiling picture window, drawing you immediately to the wonderful countryside views. The shower room is modern and well-appointed, and the conservatory is a welcome addition to this stunning property, with oak doors and oak wood flooring throughout. There is an open turned handcrafted oak staircase leading up to the open plan living accommodation with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable sitting area with sofa bed, lending sleeping flexibility for a child. A patio door leads out to the glass balcony, where you can sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of the area, whilst relaxing with a glass of your favourite tipple, reflecting on the day and watching the sun set. The upstairs boasts roughly hewn beams throughout, where the age of the building is evident and it is beautifully complimented by the more modern day comforts. Outside on the patio you can enjoy a morning coffee, or even dine alfresco in the evening while you enjoy the vista and sunsets from the front, relaxing after walking up Cader Idris and admiring the stars long into the night. There are some wonderful walks from the doorstep, including a walk to Gwernen Lake enjoying the stunning scenery on the way. A number of activities can be enjoyed close by, including the largest mountain bike trail centre in Wales, Coed y Brenin, just six miles away. Starting from the town is the Mawddach Trail, from where walking and cycling take in spectacular coastal and mountain scenery. Further afield, enjoy the stunning architectural gem of Portmeirion, take a historical trip to Harlech Castle, or enjoy the industrial heritage of the Blaenau Ffestiniog slate works and steam railway. You are also close to Zip World Titan or the Bounce Below experience and Corris, with its craft centre, is one of the many areas worth visiting. Alternatively, spend your days relaxing with the sand between your toes on the lovely beaches at Barmouth and Fairbourne. This charming cottage provides an ideal getaway for discovering the mystical mountains of North Wales all year round.

Reviews
Outstanding cottage with all mod cons. The surrounding area is breathtaking to say the least. One of the best cottages we’ve stayed out and the Ellis family were great hosts . YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!
This beautiful converted barn is in a stunning location, surrounded by mountains and farmland. The cottage is very comfortable, warm and very well appointed. The onwers were very friendly. Ideal for walking or visiting the nearby coast. One of the best self catering properties we have stayed in.
Incredible! I’m writing this on the last night of my stay in this beautiful barn. My mum and I could not have wished for a better place to stay. The setting is idyllic - the views are breathtaking and it is so peaceful. There are many spectacular walks right on the doorstep. We walked from the door to the pony track right up to the summit of Cader Idris. The owners are ever so helpful and friendly. We will be recommending to everyone.
The location is stunning. If you welcome peace and quiet you will not be disappointed at all. The cottage has been very thoughtfully renovated from an old barn and the owners, Richard and Laura have thought of everything. Upside down living with a balcony giving fabulous views over open countryside. A large conservatory for if the weather is inclement (it was spectacularly so on one day) Everything is finished to a very high standard and nothing has been missed. Richard and Laura made us very welcome (from the welcome pack onwards) and were on hand at all times if we needed them. We have 'self-catered' for over 30 years and this cottage has net been bettered in all that time. We will certainly be back !
The barn conversion is of a very high standard. Overall finish and quality was excellent. The location is perfect, a five star rating. We will be returning.
An amazing cottage in a beautiful location.
Spacious and extremely comfortable accommodation in beautiful countryside. The owners were friendly and helpful.
We liked the remoteness of the cottage and the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. We particularly liked the balcony to sit out in the evening; watching the sheep and looking at magnificent views from the property.
Everything was great; no complaints at all, owners were really helpful.
The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We felt very comfortable in the property and everything was thought of for our stay.
Our hosts were a lovely young couple who were at hand if you had any queries, but otherwise left you to enjoy your holiday. It was a lovely barn conversion which was well appointed and in a beautiful location.
This is a newly converted old farm building in a spectacular location with beautiful views. The conversion has been done to an exceptional standard and with nice touches designed to make the experience of staying there very pleasant. Unlike many holiday cottages, the kitchen was a pleasure to use and was well equipped with lots of new knives. The owners are a very pleasant couple indeed. They are 'people people' and nothing was too much trouble.
A beautifully converted barn surround by the Welsh mountains; very relaxing.
