By the Fireside in Snowdonia, Gwynedd

By the Fireside Self-Catering

Serving as the perfect home base to explore the spectacular Snowdonia National Park, this charming cottage sits amid Dolgellau's countryside town. Surrounded by scenic hiking trails and cycle paths, there are a wealth of beauty spots on your doorstep, all inviting you to connect with the great outdoors. Or, if all-action adventures aren't really your style, how about a twenty-minute drive to Portmeirion – an unusual Italian village waiting in North Wales?

An ideal romantic getaway for nature lovers, this intimate home has storybook appeal with its exposed stone walls and old-fashioned doors. Can you see yourself cosying up in front of the log burner on chilly evenings, or following a local recipe to bake Welsh cakes in this skylit kitchen? We highly recommend making the most of sunny spells here and taking your tea outside at this ornate table for two. Wash the day away under a rainfall shower before curling up on the sofa with a glass of wine.
