About this property
Llanbedr 1 mile. A delightful barn conversion with its own terrace and parking space with the owner's home situated 50 metres away and another holiday home nearby on a 200-acre Welsh working farm, one mile from Llanbedr. The cottage has a slightly elevated position and is nestled between the dramatic backdrop of the Rhinog Mountain range and splendid panoramic views of the Llyn Peninsula and Bardsey Island out across Cardigan Bay to the front. This delightful cottage is perfect for a couple looking for a relaxing and romantic get away from it all break and is an ideal base for you to explore this wonderful part of North Wales and the Snowdonia National Park.
Historically an old bakery, the cottage has been lovingly renovated with many original features retained and restored. Through the heavy oak door a wonderful wealth of charm and character awaits you and you are immediately drawn to the large impressive stone inglenook fireplace with the original bread and baking oven, with a warming gas woodburning- effect stove on a raised slate hearth. The living accommodation is open plan and the high ceilings extenuate the space, with exposed beams and purlins. The cosy sitting area is perfect for snuggling up on the comfy sofa together to enjoy your favourite film with the warming glow of the fire to enjoy on those chillier evenings.
There is a dining area for those romantic candle lit suppers and a well-appointed kitchen area in which to prepare them. The pretty bedroom is spacious and light, with a high ceiling and beams and enjoys a lovely outlook and the patio door leading out to a private courtyard is a lovely spot to enjoy that early morning coffee. Completing this beautiful cosy cottage, the shower room boasts a power shower ideal after a day walking in the hills! Linking the living accommodation and the bedroom and shower room is arguably one of the nicest hallways youll walk through; fully glazed on one side with French doors opening onto the private and sheltered courtyard where you can sit and relax with a chilled glass of something and drink in those fantastic views, watch the sun dip down into Cardigan Bay, or perhaps even enjoy a little stargazing in the night sky and reminisce over the day.
Here time passes you by at a more leisurely pace, and after a long day walking in the hills you can return to this peaceful little bit of heaven on earth and simply relax. The pretty little village of Llanbedr is a mile down the road where there are two pubs, a village shop and a local butchers shop. There are some amazing walks from the door and Cwm Nantcol, Cwm Bychan and the Roman Steps are all close by. The beaches along this stretch of the North Wales coastline are beautiful with miles and miles of sandy shores and there are many cycling trails (cycle hire is available in the village) to enjoy.
This fantastic location also boasts good golf courses, medieval castles such as Harlech Castle just three miles away, the Snowdonia National Park and miles of stunning coastline. This cottage is a superb romantic retreat from which to explore this delightful area all year round.
The pretty village of Llanbedr is situated between The Rhinogs, part of the Snowdonia Mountains, and the golden beaches of the North Wales coastline and offers good local shops and an excellent pub.

But bedroom decor is somewhat dated and would benefit from a refresh. Curtains could do with having a blackout lining. Access to the property is via a 600m gravel track which was stable even when wet.. But positive points far outweigh the negatives. On arrival there was a whole cake, bottle of wine, milk, coffee, tea. The property was warm and comfortable. Had a great view and good value. The owner visited and was very friendly and helpful.

) and dark skies at night for star gazing! But still a close easy drive to Harlech, Barmouth, Portmeirion etc. The cottage was spotless and comfortable and we highly recommend it for a relaxing break
