    “Property very tired.”

    Could do with a good make over. Had a clean everything before use in cupboards as was covered in previous occupants food. Although fridge's appeared to work they they had a strange smell about them. Place definitely left cleaner when we left. Large bedroom off the kitchen was not suitable for anyone over 5ft 5inches due to low door frame. Other large bedroom was difficult to sleep in due to no blind up at sky light window which shone down onto bed early morning. Games room could have had more ...

    Could do with a good make over. Had a clean everything before use in cupboards as was covered in previous occupants food. Although fridge's appeared to work they they had a strange smell about them. Place definitely left cleaner when we left. Large bedroom off the kitchen was not suitable for anyone over 5ft 5inches due to low door frame. Other large bedroom was difficult to sleep in due to no blind up at sky light window which shone down onto bed early morning. Games room could have had more games to keep children happy. Distance from anywhere that was of interest was generally an hour and a half away. Hot tub lovely. Owners lovely to speak to.

The property

Tucked away on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Dinas Mawddwy, Gwynedd, is this stunning five-bedroom farmhouse Ysgubor.

Enjoying a superb location within the breath-taking Snowdonia National Park, situated on a 500-acre hill working organic farm and surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain scenery, Ysgubor is a fantastic dog-friendly choice for couples, friends and families to escape to.

The interior boasts a wealth of character and original features, including oak beams, exposed stonework, an inglenook fireplace and slate flagged floors, it is hard not to feel right at home!

The property benefits from several off-road parking spaces, an enclosed rear garden where you can fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco with a mountain backdrop, and an enclosed front garden with furniture and bubbling hot tub, perfect for sinking back among the bubbles with a panoramic view!

On the ground floor, the chef of the group will have all they need to conjure up delicious feasts in the fully-equipped kitchen, ready to enjoy at the dining table in front of the woodburning stove as you toast to a memorable getaway.

After dinner, curl up with a good book in the snug for two, enjoy relaxing with loved ones in the large sitting room in front of a much-loved film on the TV, as your pooches snuggle up in front of the crackling woodburning stove, or head through to the games room to enjoy a game of pool.

Completing the ground floor is a lovely double bedroom served by a shower room, ideal for those with limited mobility.

Head upstairs, where you can wash away the day’s adventures in one of two beautiful bathrooms, before discovering four further bedrooms, a king-size four poster with en-suite bathroom, a double, a king-size, and a family room with three singles.

Wander through the village, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal out at Y Llew Coch or the Buckley Arms, and stock up on fresh produce at the Camlan Garden Centre, Farm Shop and Café.

From your new home from home, you can also take advantage of access to the owner’s own private mountains, Graig Wen and Gribyn, both over 2000', where the Red Bull Hardline mountain bike event is held annually, with the rest of Snowdonia beyond, making it a haven for keen walkers, mountain bikers and birdwatchers.

Continue onto Dolgellau, where you can picnic in the picturesque park, sample fresh tapas at Tafarn Y Gader, South Asian delights at Lemon Grass, and hearty pub fare at the Stag Inn, or explore the outskirts of the town where you will find the renowned Mawddach Trail.

From here, you can easily access Barmouth, home to the Panorama Walk, the stunning Barmouth Beach, the welcoming eateries of The Lobster Pot, The Bank Restaurant, and Bistro Bermo, and the Dragon Theatre.

The owner, who lives nearby and occasionally occupies a small annexe to the left of the holiday property, is always ready to help, and at the end of an exciting day, enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery as you relax.

Explore the very best of North Wales at Ysgubor.
