A beautifully restored former ticket office and waiting room for the Snowdon Ranger station built in the 1870s, this unique cottage is now a listed building. All on one level, this cute bolthole is ideal for a couple seeking a countryside retreat in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. Train fan? Watch the steam trains pass the property or hail one at the adjacent Snowdon Ranger request stop for the narrow-gauge Welsh Highland Railway. Climb Snowdon if you’re feeling energetic, the footpath starts right here. If you fancy some different history, head to Caernarfon – perhaps by train? – and admire its walls and stunning 13th-century waterfront castle. Walk around the dramatic Llyn Cwellyn lake for a change of scene.
Small but perfectly formed sums this quaint single-storey cottage up. This bright and airy property is wood-panelled throughout the open-plan living/dining/kitchen room and the double bedroom. There are plenty of windows to admire the wonderful mountain and railway views. A shower room completes the interior of the cottage. The historic stone building is well insulated so will remain cosy even in a Welsh winter thanks to the electric convector heaters.
Relax on a recliner after a long mountain walk on the private patio with valley views. There’s a BBQ and bike store here too. Another shared mature garden space is also available with a stream, seating and breathtaking Snowdonia views.
