    “Oh what a beautiful cottage!”

    Well equipped, very spacious property with 360’ views that are simply breathtaking, the morning “alarm” from the goose is novel, surrounded by grazing sheep and peace and quiet is just the perfect place to escape to. Mind when you open the gate to go anywhere, if one sheep gets in the garden the others will follow and before you know it, you are a shepherd! A hairdryer was all that was needed. Thank you!

The property

Situated high above the village of Garndolbenmaen, on the other side of the Cwm Pennant Valley, with arguably the most stunning views as far as the eye can see, is this characterful detached cottage, Pen Y Braich Uchaf.

This heart-warming retreat is perfect for a family seeking to explore North Wales’ glorious coastline and wonderful rivers and lakes throughout the majestic mountains of the Snowdonia National Park, with a well-equipped base to return to each evening.

After soaking up the views which surround the cottage, catching glimpses of Snowdon, the Nantlle Ridge, Holyhead, St Tudwal's Island and the Preseli Hills as you explore the grounds of the working farm before entering the property dating back to 1780.

Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you are immediately drawn in by the woodburning stove, which sits within the stone-built fireplace.

Look forward to relaxing into your evening by sinking into the plush sofa to tune into the TV or unwind with a good book in hand, whilst the fire gently fills the space with tranquillity or retire to the pine framed, glazed conservatory to enjoy those views, long into the evening.

Continuing to impress is the well-equipped kitchen, where you will find everything you could possibly need to cater for yourself, including a washing machine and a dishwasher for your convenience.

If you are visiting during the warmer months, head out to the patio where you can soak up the scenery further whilst the BBQ sizzles in the background before you enjoy a spot of alfresco dining.

As the sun sets over the countryside, retire to the night’s embrace within one of the well-presented bedrooms, comprising of two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, designed to enjoy a flexible sleeping arrangement to suit the needs of a group of friends and family.

If you can tear yourself away from this truly idyllic base, venture to the village of Tremadog where you will be delighted by the amenities that await you, as well as the larger selection of pubs, bars and restaurants which is located slightly further in Porthmadog.

Whilst here, look forward to walking the magnitude of walks upon the Snowdonia National Park or soak up the sun at the many beaches that line the glorious coastline.

Be sure to spend some time discovering the historic castle as Harlech before you spend an afternoon at the Italian-style village of Portmeirion.

Perfect for walkers is Craig-Y-Garn, just a stones throw from the property, sitting at 363 meters high this is perfect for a after dinning walk or pre breakfast jaunt with stunning views and points of geological interest.

The coastal town of Criccieth is just under 7 miles away, knows as the 'Pearl of Wales' with its Blue Flag beach it is a perfect spot for soaking up the sun whilst your little ones fish in the rock pools, or why not visit one of the many eateries specialising in freshly caught seafood.

Or why not visit the historic Criccieth Castle dating back to the 13th Century is worth a visit which was built and destroyed by powerful Welsh princes and has been unaccoupied since 1404 leaving the beautiful ruins you can explore today.

Pen Y Braich Uchaf is a wonderful base for exploring the delight of North Wales with your loved ones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
