    “We had a 4 night stay in this beautiful, quiet, renovated cottage in the first week of October and were fortunate enough to have good weather.”

    The owner had thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable and warm, especially on chilly nights (wood burner was excellent). The views of the mountains are fantastic especially from the bedroom windows. We chose this cottage as it was where my husband visited and stayed with his grandparents when he was a child. It brought back many happy memories and one of them was of waiting for the milkman to come with a churn to fill a jug with milk. What he loved was ...

    The owner had thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable and warm, especially on chilly nights (wood burner was excellent). The views of the mountains are fantastic especially from the bedroom windows. We chose this cottage as it was where my husband visited and stayed with his grandparents when he was a child. It brought back many happy memories and one of them was of waiting for the milkman to come with a churn to fill a jug with milk. What he loved was having a modern bathroom with all its conveniences instead of having to go outside to a shed where the privy was! We can hole heartedly recommend staying at Ael y Bryn not only for an exceptional cottage but for its situation and the easy access to places like Portmadog, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Portmeirion,the steam train, slate mines and even a trip on the train to Llandudno.

The property

Ffestiniog 0.5 miles.

Settled on the outskirts of the quaint village of Ffestiniog, Gwynedd in Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) is the charming, end-of-terrace Ael Y Bryn.

This wonderful, stone-fronted, dog-friendly cottage benefits from a welcoming and thoughtful-presented interior where a woodburning stove makes the heart of the home, a large rear garden with hot tub and a breath-taking location overlooking the rolling welsh countryside in a fun-filled national park; the perfect setting for couples seeking a romantic getaway in North Wales.

Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and unwind on the plush sofa in front of the soothing warmth of the woodburning stove while your partner pampers you with a delicious meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen.

Dine together at the table positioned by the window where the fabulous countryside views provide a memorable backdrop; later step outside to admire the stars filling the sky over Pant Llwyd from the bubbling hot tub, the perfect end to a day full of exploration.

When the evening draws to a close head inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the sleek, ground-floor bathroom before climbing the stairs to slope off to sleep in the well-appointed king-size bedroom.

If you can tear yourself away from this romantic bolthole venture into the heart of Ffestiniog where you can pick up all your self-catering essentials at the local store or enjoy a much-need break from the kitchen with date night at Y Pengwern, indulge in delicious food here while your canine companion rests at your feet and you raise a toast to your romantic retreat.

There are an abundance of walks and trails from your doorstep as well as woven throughout the national park, all offering spectacular views across the rolling countryside; the brave among you may even try to summit Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) to experience stunning sunrises, sunsets and unbeatable views.

Other notable, nearby attractions include Zip World Llechwedd where you can experience the scenery from a unique vantage point as you zip line over the quarry, you can also tour the underground mines and even play golf in them, the 13th-century ruins of Dolwyddelan Castle and the iconic Italianette village of Portmeirion.

Experience all this and more at Ael Y Bryn.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
