    “We loved this cottage situated in a very peaceful location with stunning views of surrounding Moelwyn mountains.”

    It was exceptionally clean & well equipped with everything we needed & more. The owner, Sarah, had provided thoughtful little extras too which we really appreciated. We would love to return & would recommend to friends.

The property

Nestled in the small, quiet village of Llan Ffestiniog, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, is this stone, mid-terrace quarryman's cottage.

The location is ideal for touring the 823 square miles of the National Park, with plenty of wild swimming, cycling and hiking opportunities, including the Snowdonia Slate Trail which goes past the front door, Moelwyn View has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and modernisation by the owner.

Many of the original period features have been retained, such as the stone inglenook fireplace, slate flooring and beamed ceiling.

The cottage benefits from 2 reception rooms with the dining room at the front facing the Manod Hills.

It is the perfect place to enjoy a morning cuppa while planning your day.

There is plenty of information on the area to help you decide.

The owner is a local landscape photographer and has some work displayed in the cottage.

The Ffestiniog steam train runs from here heading down to Porthmadog.

The train can be heard from the cottage as it makes its way along the valley.

There are two local mountain bike centres, Antur Stiniog based in Blaenau and Coed y Brenin near Dolgellau and plenty of lake and sea swimming opportunities for those that are into a spot of ‘wild swimming’.

Porthmadog and Harlech beach are a mere 20 minutes drive away and the tourist village of Portmeirion is on the doorstep.

A visit to Bodnant Gardens and Caernarfon Castle are a 45 minute drive.

The Lleyn Peninsula and Anglesey are accessible as a day trip and well worth the visit.
