A fabulous stone cottage built in 1855, nestled in to the the hillside

The propertyThis semi-detached, stone-built Llwyngwril holiday cottage stands in a quiet lane beside the River Gwril in the pretty village of Llwyngwril in the Snowdonia National Park. This lovely North Wales cottage offers character accommodation including exposed beams, slate flagged floors and an impressive stone inglenook fireplace with a woodburner, all creating a charming, cosy atmosphere. This welcoming Llwyngwril cottage is close to many riverside and hill walks, with amenities of the village just a minute's walk, while it is only 10 minutes walk to the beach, which is brilliant for long lazy walks and rock-pooling at low tide. The area is also renowned for its fantastic climbing, surfing and cycling opportunities.

Note: The cottage is stone built in 1855 and is set into the hillside which has it's issues.
It has 2ft thick stone walls which change in temperature as does the weather.

Sometimes it will have seasonal weather effects:
You will possibly get muddy. The cottage is built into the hillside.
You will probably bring wet footwear / clothing into the cottage.
It is expected. Unless the sun shines. It is a sun trap from 11am until sunset.
It is not The Hilton.
There may be spiders.

If the above details don't worry you, please book, you won't be disappointed.
Regards Joe

We had a lovely time at Tan y Bryn. The cottage is very well equipped and clean. Joe was very helpful with information on where to visit. The little village is so pretty with the rambling stream that runs down to the Beach and the people so friendly. Hope to return in the future
