Nestled in the serene hamlet of Rhyd Uchaf, just 2.3 miles from the quaint market town of Bala in Gwynedd, lies the charming stone-built cottage named Cartrefle. This delightful retreat, ideal for a small family, offers a perfect blend of character and comfort, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a rural getaway in North Wales. The cottage is adorned with a picturesque exterior, enhanced by a lush canopy of greenery, inviting guests to step inside and embark on a memorable holiday experience. With private off-road parking available, visitors can easily access this tranquil haven.
Upon entering Cartrefle, guests are greeted by an open-plan living space that exudes traditional charm, featuring whitewashed exposed beams and a cozy woodburning stove. The farmhouse-style kitchen is conveniently situated at the rear of the communal area, equipped with modern amenities to facilitate meal preparation. The dining table, which accommodates four, provides a lovely setting for family gatherings, where stories of the day's adventures can be shared over a glass of wine. In the evenings, guests can unwind in front of the television or enjoy the serene atmosphere of the rear garden, perfect for sipping drinks amidst the stunning countryside views.
As night falls, the first floor reveals two inviting bedrooms: a double room and a single room with a pull-out trundle bed, both featuring charming exposed stone walls that add to the cottage's character. Mornings can begin leisurely with coffee in the front garden, allowing guests to savor the sunrise before gearing up for a day of exploration. The nearby town of Bala, home to Llyn Tegid—the largest lake in Wales—offers a variety of watersports such as canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, as well as scenic walks along the lake’s banks, showcasing the breathtaking views of the hills surrounding the area.
For those seeking adventure, the Snowdonia National Park provides an array of walking and cycling routes right from the doorstep of Cartrefle. Guests can challenge themselves with a hike to the summit of Mynydd Nodol for stunning vistas of Llyn Celyn or tackle the more demanding climb of Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales. A short drive away, the bustling town of Blaenau Ffestiniog offers unique experiences, including a scenic steam train ride on the Ffestiniog Railway, exploration of the ancient Llechwedd quarry, or an exhilarating zip-line journey through the mine. Whether guests are in search of excitement or relaxation, Cartrefle serves as the ideal base for their North Welsh adventure.
