This pristine cottage is a real home from home and is beautifully presented with some lovely extra touches. The stylish interior, stunning rural location and impressive views make it a winning choice for families looking for a tranquil base to explore the coastal and mountain setting of Mid Wales. Outdoor adventure lovers may have a hard time deciding where to start with their activity planning here – one of the more challenging mountain routes up Cadar Idris starts 14 miles away, Coed y Brenin Mountain Biking Centre is 28 miles away and a whole host of water sports are on offer in Aberdyfi, 16 miles from the cottage. And then there is Snowdonia National Park just a 30-mile drive away. For those wanting an easier outdoor experience, hire a bike in Dolgellau (16 miles) and ride along the Mawddach Trail, a gentle option even for little legs. The route winds through the stunning estuary leading to the breathtaking views of Barmouth Harbour and its iconic bridge.

Hiding behind tall green hedges is this warm and welcoming traditional cottage. The spacious lounge has a wealth of old character features, making a cosy night in feel like a special treat. Sink into the comfy sofas and enjoy some quality family time watching a movie together or steal some time for yourself to lose yourself in a good book. All the oak beams are still in place as well as the original bread oven in the inglenook with its open cosy fire. The kitchen/diner is a perfect place for plotting the following days' adventures with a large dining table to gather around and plenty of space and light. A conveniently placed bathroom downstairs is well presented with a warm neutral colour scheme and plenty of light. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds ensure a good night's sleep can be had by all. Wake up in the morning to the beautiful farm views without having to leave the luxury of your own bed, with the traditional low windows offering sweeping views of the fields and beyond. One king, one double and one single room offer lovely, cosy interiors with the added touch of Welsh blankets on the beds. A good-sized cloakroom with WC is also found on this floor.

Views of green fields and rolling hills, plus the sounds of sheep and cows grazing and birds chattering make the garden a wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy the tranquillity of the Welsh countryside.

What a wonderful time we had staying at Hendre Cottage. The place was beautiful, comfortable and welcoming. The whole cottage was equipped with everything we needed beautifully clean and was perfect for our family. We would happily return for another stay and whole-heartedly recommend it

We enjoyed our stay here, it is more comfortable and better equipped than most properties we have stayed at. The location is nice with lovely views. The only irritant was because it is a mountain road groups of sports cars and motorbikes drive up and down very fast every so often, and because the cottage is very close to the road and single glazed Read moreit can be a bit unnerving. We only experienced this a few times at the weekend though, the rest of the week was quiet and it wouldn't put me off staying there. Hide

We enjoyed sitting out in the evening and watching the cows and sheep which came to peer at us through the fence. Whilst there were only two of us there is plenty of space for five people. Great facilities and a peaceful location, we would definitely think about a return visit.

Lovely cottage and well equipped but at weekends as it is on a "mountain road" it is used by sports car clubs, motorcycle clubs and cycle clubs and gets very busy. Front of house is less than six feet from the road
