Situated in the charming village of Arthog, Gwynedd, this delightful detached cottage offers a serene escape not far from the historic market town of Dolgellau and the picturesque coastal village of Fairbourne. Guests can enjoy the nearby attractions, including a miniature steam railway and a seasonal ferry service to Barmouth, where they can explore its vibrant pubs, restaurants, shops, sandy beaches, and rugged cliffs. The surrounding area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring numerous footpaths and cycle routes that meander along the coast, the Mawddach estuary, and through the stunning landscapes of Snowdonia National Park. With a wealth of activities available, from swimming and sailing to fishing and horse riding, visitors will find ample opportunities for adventure and exploration.
Upon arrival, guests will follow a private grass and slate footpath that leads through two fields to the inviting red front door of the cottage. Inside, the traditional design is accentuated by exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area is thoughtfully arranged, featuring a well-equipped kitchen complete with modern appliances, including an electric oven, hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. This space is perfect for those who prefer to dine in, with a cozy dining table for enjoying meals together. After dinner, the lounge area provides a comfortable setting for relaxation, whether planning the next day's adventures or enjoying a movie night by the wood burner.
The cottage boasts a stylish ground-floor bathroom, complete with a bath, separate shower, and WC, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration. Ascending the unique boat steps, guests will find a charming mezzanine single bedroom, while the first floor features a king-size bedroom and an additional single bedroom. Each sleeping area offers lovely views of the garden and the breathtaking Mawddach Estuary beyond. The layout of the bedrooms reflects the unique conversion of the property, with some areas having limited headroom, adding to the cottage's character.
Surrounded by natural beauty, the cottage features a serene garden with ample seating options for enjoying morning coffee or al fresco dining, complete with a charcoal BBQ for delightful outdoor meals. Parking is available in a layby just 100 yards from the property, though guests should be prepared to navigate a walled footpath to reach the cottage, which may be slippery in wet weather. Strong footwear is recommended for the short trek. This idyllic retreat also welcomes one dog, provided it is kept on a lead due to nearby livestock, making it a perfect getaway for pet owners. However, it is important to note that the property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility, ensuring a peaceful and enjoyable stay for all who visit.
