About this property
Dolgellau 8.5 miles. Ysgubor is a charming farmhouse situated on a 500-acre hill working organic farm in Dinas Mawddwy, Gwynedd. This property boasts three woodburning stoves, a hot tub, a games room, and ground-floor living – with off-road parking for seven cars, Ysgubor is idyllic for a large family and three dutiful dogs. Step into your new haven, complete with original features, oak beams, and exposed stonework throughout. A woodburning stove waits ready in the kitchen/diner, dining room, and games room to toast the warmth back into your well-trekked toes, while a scrumptious supper is cooked from the double range electric oven and hob, microwave, and two fridge/freezers. Enjoy in a rustic dining room or, when the sun follows you home, whip up a culinary creation on the barbecue and dine alfresco in the garden. When the evening chill starts to nip, hop in the hot tub and watch the sun sink into the mountains. Curl up in the snug or settle into the sitting room with a film on the Smart TV, then challenge your loved ones to a round of pool in the games room. Rinse off the day’s medals of mud in one of three bathrooms or the ground-floor shower room, as the dishwasher and washing machine take care of your plates and laundry. Welcome the night in a four-poster, king-size, double, or single bed, and drift off to a window-framed view of tomorrow’s adventures. Roll out of bed and into your hiking boots to explore Snowdonia National Park and take advantage of access to the owner’s private mountains, Graig Wen and Gribyn, both over 2000 feet, then grab a much-earned bite at The Buckley Arms – just over a mile from your property! Venture a little further afield to Barmouth to indulge in a beach day at Barmouth Beach, stroll the scenic Panorama Walk, and catch a show at the Dragon Theatre. Take that short drive to Aberystwyth to treat the history buff to Pen Dinas Hill Fort and the Amgueddfa Ceredigion Museum, then admire the beautiful art at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. Welsh adventures are never far when you book a stay at Ysgubor.
An attractive, single-street village surrounded by beautiful countryside and overlooked by the wonderful Aran Mountains, in the southern part of Snowdonia National Park. There is a pub in the village and a number of others close by and the Meirion Woollen Mill stands on the banks of the River Dovey and is open to visitors. The delightful town of Dolgellau, which nestles beside the foothills of one of the most spectacular mountains in Wales, Cader Idris, is only 10 miles away and its 17th Century bridges, church and variety of pubs and eating houses create a pleasant atmosphere. This whole area is a paradise for walkers, climbers, birdwatchers and bikers amidst all of Snowdonia and the nearby Coed-y-Brenin Forest with its famous mountain bike trails. Discover the Mawddach Estuary, stunning sandy beaches, narrow gauge steam railways, golf, and a huge range of outdoor pursuits. A superb base for both coast and mountains all year round.
