About this property
Set in the idyllic market town of Dolgellau, Gwynedd is this charming cottage, 3 Ivy Court. Benefitting from a woodburning stove, Smart TV and a lovely blend of country and contemporary décor throughout, 3 Ivy Court welcomes two guests to relish the ultimate getaway to North Wales. After unloading outside the property, cross the threshold into an appealing sitting room adorned with a roaring woodburning stove, plus seating and a Smart TV, the perfect spot to kick back and unwind after a long day of traversing the local surroundings. Become accustomed with a well-stocked kitchen, hosting all the necessary appliances so you can whip up tasty delicacies for your other half; settle down at the intimated dining table for two and tuck in, toasting to a wonderful stay over a bottle of fizz. When you begin to tire, ascend the stairs to a light and airy bathroom where you can indulge a long soak in the tub before drawing back the sumptuous covers of a super-king-size bed and winding down for the evening. In the morning, delight a morning coffee in the front courtyard and soak in a moment of serenity before heading out on your next adventure. Begin your day with a scenic stroll to Cymer Abbey or embark on the Precipice Walk which boasts magnificent views over the Welsh countryside; if you prefer a greater challenge, why not attempt to summit Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in Wales. For more relaxing pastimes, head to Barmouth, where you can sink your toes into the sandy trails at Barmouth Beach, admire lovely vistas across Afon Mawddach from Barmouth Bridge or discover the delights of Barmouth Pier before treating your other half to fish and chips. Journey to Machynlleth where Corris Steam Railway Museum and Railway, Corris Mine Explorers and Dullas Valley can be found, in addition to the unspoiled surroundings of the Abercorris North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve.

This charming little market town is situated in southern Snowdonia, halfway between the sea and the massive Cader Idris mountain range. It's a fantastic home base for a trip, ideal for combining the many outdoor activities available in Snowdonia with leisurely days at Barmouth, Fairbourne, and Aberdovey's soft sand beaches. The town itself has a good assortment of stores, five pubs, a wine bar, as well as many top-notch cafes, restaurants, and bakeries that daily produce fresh bread and pastries. Dolgellau is said to have the highest concentration of listed buildings in all of Wales, with over 200 of them, and it has been classified as a "cycling break centre," with a number of specific cycle routes running through the town. The Coed y Brenin mountain bike trail is nearby, and the area is perfect for peaceful outdoor activity because it is close to mountains, forests, waterfalls, castles, and beaches.

The owners had thought of everything: from blankets for the sofa to make staying in warm and comfortable, to toiletries and extra bedding. We have stayed in Dolgellau several times, but this cottage was our favourite.
