Dolgellau 2.7 miles. Perched within rolling green countryside in the Snowdonia National Park hamlet of Brithdir in Gwynedd lies Gwengraig, a superb, detached holiday home. With an external games room, a luscious garden with a hot tub, and an interior which is bursting with character and home comforts, this cottage is an ideal choice for a family or group of friends hoping to truly get away from the hustle and bustle. Step inside the entrance hallway and make your way into the sitting room, fit with a quality corner sofa and original exposed beams, along with a Smart TV and woodburning stove to cosy up in front of. From here, move through to the dining room, which has seating for eight and fireside chairs next to the gorgeous inglenook fireplace, while the designated cook makes use of the rustic, farmhouse-style kitchen, and its plentiful appliances. After relaxing with loved ones, climb the stairs to get some rest; the master bedroom boasts a lovely deep window to admire views from, while the remaining bedrooms, a double, a twin and a single, all have plenty of storage for belongings and an inviting décor. Outside, enjoy the countryside views from hot tub, or in the warmer months you can cook and dine in the sunshine with the help of the barbecue. For your evening entertainment, be sure to take advantage of the external games room, where you can also store your sports gear, and unleash your competitive side with a game of table tennis. Conveniently located at the foothills of Cader Idris, this property is a haven for avid walkers and cyclists, with a wealth of tracks and paths to explore. Aircraft enthusiasts can enjoy an afternoon of plane watching from the nearby Mach Loop; why not climb to the top of the pass with a picnic to enjoy the 'show'? Within easy reach is the village of Corris, known for its Steam Railway Museum and excellent mountain biking tracks; grab your bikes and make the most of the stunning backdrop. If the beach is more your style, a short drive will take you to the popular seaside resort of Barmouth, for a pleasant day out filled with fish and chips and maybe even an ice cream! Whatever your style of adventure, choose Gwengraig as your base.

This picturesque market town is in southern Snowdonia, between Cader Idris and the sea. It's a great location for seeing Snowdonia and resting on Barmouth, Fairbourne, and Aberdovey's beaches. The village has a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, and bakeries that produce fresh bread and pastries daily. Dolgellau has almost 200 listed structures, the highest concentration in Wales, and is a designated "cycling break centre" with dedicated bike lanes. This setting is perfect for quiet outdoor activity with mountains, forests, waterfalls, castles, and beaches nearby.
