Originally built as an observatory, you can watch stars and wildlife from this cosy cottage.
Pretty in pink, this romantic retreat hides among the trees in the Dolmelynllyn estate of Eryri (Snowdonia). Originally built as a 19th-century observatory, you can gaze upon the stars from its veranda as night falls. And when the sun rises, spectacular views across the valley unfold. Inside the timber cottage reveals a cosy little nook with a warming log-burner and sloping ceilings.
As you’ll be in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, you’ll have miles of walking trails straight from your doorstep. Nearby there’s a footpath to Rhaeadr Ddu, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Wales.
A little further afield, take a trip to see a ruined Cistercian Abbey, founded in 1198 by Maredudd ap Cynan, just four miles away from the cottage. Or head to Dolgellau where you can start the hiking trail for Cader Idris or cycle along the Mawddach Trail, a disused railway line.
Kitchen, bathroom with shower over bath, and walk-through double bedroom. From the bedroom, steps lead to the dining/sitting room with a multi-fuel stove, and small veranda.
