Dyfi Lookout in Snowdonia, Gwynedd

Dyfi Lookout Self-Catering

Bordering the rolling hills of Snowdonia National Park, this apartment set in a converted stable block provides the perfect remote retreat for those craving solitude and tranquillity. Overlooking the Dyfi Estuary, this modern home can serve as an excellent base for nearby hiking and walking with acres of landscaped grounds surrounded by woodlands. Inside, there's a sleek island kitchen that's perfect for country weekends away, as well as a large enclosed deck patio to enjoy a barbecue in the great outdoors – plus a jaw-dropping view we can vouch for. The home's a bright and airy space with high ceilings and vaulted beams that we really love. But it's a homely spot too, with calm grey tones and soft furnishings that keep things cosy. Take a short drive to the seaside village of Aberdyfi, just three miles down the road, for a fun day of sea and surf, or perhaps wander around the beachside shops and restaurants in search of the finest local fish and chips. The apartment’s underfloor heating is a real treat after a busy day exploring – pack a few games and some great books, and relax on the sofa while taking in the rural vistas.
