Snowdonia Hideaway

The Snowdonia Hideaways, Near Harlech, Wales - Explore & Book

"What a stunning spot this is! Perched on the slopes of the ancient Rhinog mountains in north Wales - one of the UK’s last and loveliest wildernesses - with soaring views over becastled Harlech, glassy Cardigan Bay and across to the misty Llyn peninsula, it’s enough to take your breath away. We know and love this part of Snowdonia, so were especially thrilled to discover these three cottages - once an old stone farmhouse and a couple of neighbouring barns, now beautifully restored - and to welcome them into our rental portfolio. Step inside, and it all looks equally airy and soaring. In the main house, a bright conservatory with open eaves, slate floors and sink-into sofas faces those mesmerising sea- and sunset views: nature's cinema. Inside are ancient beams, snow-white walls, a vast hearth with woodburner, and 3 cosy upstairs bedrooms with sash windows. In both the old farmhouse and barn, a double height living space with more huge windows and a romantic mezzanine bedroom. All have kitchens, picnic tables, grassy gardens and endless fresh air: perfect for outdoorsy couples and families. As one guest so poetically put it: "From the amazing scenery to the spectacular sunsets, these cottages refresh the soul." We'll join you on the waiting list for that. Highs We especially love the look of the main house: the rustic-chic furnishings are just right for the setting The glass gable in the farmhouse draws the light in and makes it feel bigger than it is Handy touches include Welsh woollen blankets, satellite TV, a washing machine and hairdryer From the rocky summits and tarns of the Rhinogs to the endless sands of Harlech beach, this is paradise for hikers and swimmers Owner Emily calls these "the best views in Snowdonia", and we can't disagree Lows Such remote beauty means a long drive in: 3 hours from Manchester or Birmingham, 5 hours from London Those views might not be so breathtaking on a cloudy day; you’re at 300m altitude here Stays are strictly Saturday-Saturday in summer and during school holidays" - Handpicked by our hotel experts
