About this property
This charming cottage forms part of a traditional Welsh Chapel to provide light and inviting accommodation for couples enjoying a romantic getaway near the southern fringes of Snowdonia National Park. The property is one of a pair of cottages in the beautiful Dulas Valley, on the fringes of the small village of Aberllefenni. To the south, the historic village of Corris (2.5 miles) is home to King Arthur's Labyrinth and the Rheilffordd Corris Railway and Railway Museum. Heading further south, you can explore the Museum of Modern Art in the bustling market town of Machynlleth (8 miles). Meanwhile, wildlife enthusiasts can visit RSPB Ynys Hir (14.5 miles) and the Cors Dyfi Nature Reserve (11.5 miles). If you want to spend a day at the seaside, Fairbourne, Ynyslas, and Aberdyfi are all within 22 miles – making it easy to switch from country to coast.
Before entering into this historic property, take a moment to appreciate its stone exterior and the peaceful greenery that sets the scene for a memorable Welsh stay. Head inside and notice the slate flooring and other original features that hint at the home’s past, dating back to 1857. A cosy lounge/diner invites you to unwind after days of outdoor adventure; sink into the soft seating, flick on the wood burner-effect electric fire, and find your favourite shows on the Smart TV. This warming space also features a cute dining table in the corner, offering the best spot to enjoy Welsh feasts cooked up in the separate, well-appointed kitchen. Completing the ground floor is a handy shower room. At the end of each busy day away, climb the cottage stairs to the first floor and retire to the restful double bedroom, which also features ample storage for your getaway gear.
Outside, the sweet 2-acre garden is shared with the neighbouring cottage, offering an ideal spot for you both to unwind after a great day out. A small private garden area with a seating area is perfect for dining alfresco, with the trickling of the nearby river as your soundtrack. A half acre of riverside garden and a raised decking area offer additional seating and dining options. Heading through the garden and across the river, you can explore the oak woods – a Site of Special Scientific Interest – with paths leading to a picturesque gorge with waterfalls. Private parking is available for one car, with ample space for storing bikes in the garden.
