Located in the serene village of Tan Y Bwlch, just 3.2 miles from Penrhyndeudraeth in Gwynedd, Wales, Mill Cottage is a charming two-bedroom Grade II listed cottage that offers a perfect retreat for couples or small families. Nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Snowdonia National Park, this cottage boasts a rich history, being attached to an old water mill that once supplied flour to the Tan y Bwlch Estate. With its characterful interior and original features, Mill Cottage provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal base for those eager to explore the stunning natural beauty of North Wales.
Upon entering the cottage, guests are welcomed by a well-equipped kitchen, complete with modern appliances such as an electric oven, hob, microwave, and a washing machine for convenience.

The cottage's garden area has been thoughtfully maintained as a wildlife haven, with paths winding through grasses and wildflowers, inviting guests to enjoy the natural surroundings. Notably, an outbuilding on the property is recognized as a building of Special Scientific Interest due to its rare bat colony, providing a unique opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts. The nearby Ffestiniog railway adds to the charm, with its whistle often echoing through the woods, enhancing the cottage's tranquil ambiance.
For those looking to venture beyond the cottage, local dining options abound, including The Grapes Hotel for hearty meals and real ales, or Spooner's Cafe in the picturesque town of Porthmadog. The area also offers easy access to Black Rock beach, scenic river walks, and the Maentwrog nature reserve. Adventure seekers can explore guided tours offered by Snowdonia Tours, while nature lovers can delight in the Gwaith Powdwr Nature Reserve. A short drive leads to the enchanting Italianate village of Portmerion, renowned for its colorful architecture.
