About this property

Wake up to majestic views of the Cader Idris mountain range with a stay at this stunning period property. Perched in an elevated location in Bontddu on the banks of the Mawddach Estuary, this handsome detached property provides ample accommodation for up to 10 guests and two happy hounds. Sandwiched between the golden beach at Barmouth and the craggy peaks of Eryri-Snowdonia National Park, there’s a world of adventures on your doorstep. Yet with indoor and outdoor lounges, a games room and an enclosed garden, there’s plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining here too.

Step inside this three-storey property to find a harmonious blend of Edwardian charm and contemporary flair. The interiors are delightful, combining bold colours and patterns with period-style furniture to stunning effect. The heart of this property is the stylishly appointed kitchen/diner, with a double range oven, a breakfast bar, and a large family dining table next to a feature fireplace. Enjoy chilled evenings watching TV in the inviting lounge, curl up with a book in the library snug, or gather on the covered terrace to enjoy quality time together in the fresh air. Five chic bedrooms offer sanctuaries of relaxation, arranged across all three storeys. Choose between a ground-floor super-king-size room, and three super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms plus a twin, which are divided between the first and second floors. Four bathrooms and a utility room offer comfort and convenience for all. Outside, a garden terrace with BBQ area and a games room with a football table provide the perfect setting for al fresco dining and leisurely evenings.
