Located down a quiet road deep within the national park, this traditional Welsh cottage really gives you the opportunity to get away from it all. It’s in Ysbyty Ifan, a charming village which serves as the starting point for a plethora of footpaths and cycle routes through the wilderness. Sleeping three or four and with one dog welcome to join you, this charming home is ideal for a couple or a small family.

This single-storey property dates back to the 18th century, and combines historical charm with modern comforts, including underfloor heating. You’ll enter into a cosy lounge, complete with an attractive inglenook fireplace, a wood burner, a comfy sofa, a TV, iPod and iPod docking station. In the fully-equipped kitchen, cook up holiday feasts to be enjoyed at the convenient dining table. On warm days, you’ll love opening the stable door to let the outside. The property also benefits from an open aspect garden laid to lawn, complete with a patio area, a bistro table and chairs – an idyllic spot for al fresco dining and soaking in the views over the charming village, stone bridge and river.

While the local village setting provides a tranquil base for your stay, the nearby town of Betws-y-Coed (8 miles) is renowned for its outdoor activities and artistic community. On a leisurely holiday morning, wander around its craft shops and galleries before popping in for a coffee and a Welsh cake or two. For a longer stroll, take a tour of the historic bridges that span across the area’s scenic rivers and streams. And if you’re feeling like a real challenge, we recommend heading up Snowdonia itself (22 miles) for a rewarding day out.
