Snowdonia Farmhouse with hot tub spa

The pale yellow limewashed walls of the lounge glow with the morning light - a huge inglenook with candle wall sconces houses a wood burning stove and a good supply of wood from our own woodland (all inclusive). TV, video, DVD, CD, games, lots of books and 2 comfortable sofas. A large, modern kitchen with a random slate slab floor has an extendable dining table to seat 6 in comfort. Dishwasher, washing machine, electric cooker, microwave, large fridge freezer - very well equipped including those little essentials that most holiday cottages lack - olive oil, eggs, butter, herbs and spices, condiments, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid etc. The red and white themed bunk bedroom loved by children and teenagers is also on the ground floor. A small but beautifull equipped bathroom includes power shower, WC, basin and bidet. All towels and linens supplied. Upstairs (fully carpeted) the twin bedroom has a separate seating area and a patchwork wall hanging. Large wardrobe. The master bedroom is white, blue and lemon with a Victorian style white metal bedstead and traditional Welsh blanket. There is an intriguing wardrobe (for use by master bedroom and bunk bedroom guests) on the landing - we call it the Narnia wardrobe - come and find out why! A compact second bathroom has a Sitz bath, WC and basin with wainscot walls. Outside there are sitting areas back and front, Bar-B-Q, children's play equipment and the orchard with our Orchard House housing the hot tub spa.

Set in 90 acres of the spectacular Snowdonia National Park, 2.5 miles from Nantgwynant and 5 miles from Beddgelert, where you will find a well equipped village store, Post Office, gelateria, Station on the WHR steam train line from Caernarfon to Porthmadog, and other interesting shops and places to see. Stroll to Gelert's Grave (the legend of Prince Llewelyn and his brave hound Gelert). We are only 2.7 miles from the start of the Watkin Path ascent to the summit of Mount Snowdon. The footpath to Cnicht is a mere 1/2 mile stroll. Lots of walking and climbing in the area for all abilities. Porthmadog is the nearest town (supermarkets and leisure centre) with Black Rock Sands and no less than 3 train stations! Ride on the many steam trains in the area or visit our castles. Slate or copper mines offer tours or you can see the ospreys at the RSPB site nearby. We offer full Travel Directions for guests. Our website has a lot more on what to do in our area.

Our 2012 rates are from £450 to £950 per week. On our website we have a full availability and booking calendar. It shows more clearly the tariffs which reflect school holidays and half-terms which are somewhat different in many schools. We also welcome short breaks or long weekends when available - if in doubt please contact us. Our changeover day is usually Saturday but we are flexible about this. Rentals commence at 4 p.m. until 10 a.m. on the departure date but we are aware that many guests travel long distances and try to be as flexible as we can.

A welcome pack always supplied for guests on arrival and supplements the kitchen essentials provided for all guests such as olive oil, butter, herbs and spices, condiments, candles, matches, tea, coffee (quality instant and ground), sugar, mineral water (although there is filtered drinking water at kitchen tap), red and brown sauce, marmalade, washing up liquid and sponges, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, make-up remover and pads (in case you forgot!), soap, handwash... plus all linens (including robes, extra towels and flip flops for the hot tub spa plus kitchen linens).
Well-controlled and well behaved dogs welcome too at no extra charge! Non-smoking accommodation. Ideal for winter or Christmas rentals. Crackers and Christmas decorations are provided for seasonal rentals.
We have had guests arrive on steam trains and bicycles - there are many walks straight from the front door and you can pre-order food from Tesco or an organic farm.
There are fishing nets for the youngsters and deckchairs for those who want to relax - or maybe you would prefer to sling the double hammock between the orchard trees and drift off...
