Lover's Retreat in Snowdonia, Gwynedd

Lover's Retreat Self-Catering

In the depths of Snowdonia National Park, this cosy farm cottage is the perfect retreat if you’re looking for countryside serenity. As you approach this isolated farmhouse, follow the delicate bridge over the gently flowing river, and into your front courtyard. Its stone walls ooze tradition and rustic elegance, especially with the majestic heights of Cader Idris in the background. Inside the home, find chunky wooden beams and matching furnishings throughout. The rich tone of the wood creates a warm atmosphere, while charming, old-fashioned floral carpets and curtains add a homely touch. On sunny mornings, take your cup of tea out to the sunny patio as you listen to the soothing sound of the stream flowing by. Or on balmy evenings, light up the barbecue and enjoy dinner on the lawn before stargazing into the night, a tumbler of whisky in hand. Wake up early and catch the surf on the waves of sandy Tywyn beach, just a seventeen-minute drive away. Follow up with a portion of fresh fish and chips for lunch before heading back to the farm to catch a spectacular sunset.
