About this property

Dolgellau 2.8 miles. This spacious, detached cottage lies at the foot of Cader Idris in an idyllic lakeside position, a few miles from the market town of Dolgellau in Snowdonia National Park. Originally an old dairy, Nant Y Gwernan provides a superb family base for a exploring the area or simply relaxing amongst the picturesque scenery. Kick off your boots in the entrance hallway and step into the glorious open-plan living area, filled with an abundance of natural light. You will immediately be drawn towards the sliding patio doors which truly bring the outside in, offering lovely views of the lake and opposite woodland. Prepare home-cooked meals in the contemporary kitchen, featuring gloss black units and an oak worktop for a stylish finish. Adjoining the setup is a dining table with seating for all the family to gather round and enjoy a hearty feast, as well as a sitting area for taking in the splendid view. Explore the ground floor further and discover the cosy snug room, dressed in a quaint country theme, with chesterfield style sofas and an alluring gas log effect for relaxation, and a Smart TV with Sky for entertainment. Climb the stairs up to the galley style landing which shares the bedrooms down two wings. The master bedroom features a generous super king-size bed and glass Juilet balcony, offering admirable views over the lake and towards the woodland. Just outside the master is a modern shower room with slate tiling and gloss white fixtures. Set down the other wing is the double bedroom and adult bunks, along with a family bathroom. Perhaps the highlight of the property is the stunning garden space, where you can sit on the picnic bench with a glass of wine or dine alfresco style with a stunning backdrop. Thanks to the waterside location and an abundance of shrubs and flowers, several beautiful dragonflies are attracted to the area, which adds to the wild garden feel. If you can ever take yourself away from this beautiful location, then bustling town of Dolgellau is only a short drive away and offers several tea rooms, shops, restaurants and pubs. A number of outdoor activities can be enjoyed in the area, with the Cader Idris mountain range just a short walk away and the largest mountain bike trail in Wales, Coed Y Brenin, four miles away. Alternatively visit the sandy beaches of Barmouth, Fairbourne and Aberdovey for a welcome change of scenery. A relaxing escape in a beautiful location.

The market town of Dolgellau lies in the heart of Snowdonia between the Cader Idris mountain range and the sea. This holiday base is an excellent spot from which to combine the many outdoor pursuits on offer in Snowdonia, with the sandy beaches of Barmouth, Fairbourne and Aberdovey. With a good range of shops and places to eat, the town is well placed for access to other nearby coastal resorts.

    The place was super clean, the bed was comfy, the WiFi and sky channels were good and finally, the garden was just superb, the dogs really enjoyed playing in it and there were even tadpoles in the little pond! Will definitely be coming back!

  • Elizabeth

    Amazing views and access to walking from the cottage really convenient. The cottage was warm, cosy, peaceful and relaxing However there were a few housekeeping issues which needed attention These were listed and left as requested by the owner. Generally there was a a feeling that the cottage inside and out needs a little TLC and that housekeeping cleaners give more attention to ensuring the kitchen and utensils were perfectly clean. This being said we enjoyed our stay and will probably return next year

    All positive as for us, two adults & dogs, it was just what we wanted over Christmas. Our last visit was in late January and Dolgellau had seemed drab but at this time it was bright, alive and welcoming to visitors. The weather was as bad as forecast but truly awesome to watch from inside through the massive windows. We had one temperate day when we got to Barmouth beach. But … walking the lanes by the cottage in the howling wind and taking time to really look around me and take it all in, I was awe struck by the wild beauty, and, yes, will be back.
