A beautiful, romantic one bedroom cottage in the hills above Dolgellau, Deer Park Lodge is a fairytale property that shouldn't be missed. The building is an entrance lodge to the ancient deer park of the Nannau Estate in Dolgellau.
The stunning stone lodge's entrance porch opens into an open plan, one up one down layout which is bright and spacious. The ground floor space is tastefully decorated in soft and warm shades, with traditional furnishings which complement the history of the building. The floor is laid with large grey quarry tiles throughout, with a rug placed centrally in front of an inviting roaring log burner. A cosy armchair and leather sofa complete the lounge area, with a beautiful chest utilised as a side table and a Welsh dresser placed in the corner. Windows to three aspects of the room, as well as the large glass panelled door, flood the space with light and provide countryside views all around.
The small but well equipped kitchen area provides ample cooking space for two. Farmhouse style wooden units, finished in grey, surround a traditional white Belfast sink and modern built in oven and grill. A farmhouse dining table, perfect for two, is located in the corner of the room.
Upstairs, the romantic one bedroom cottage in the hills above Dolgellau is equally as impressive. The beautifully designed bedroom area has high ceilings which make it feel large and spacious. A large custom designed, gorgeous wooden bed unit, complete with built in side tables, provides a stunning feature in the middle of the space. This is complimented by a chunky farmhouse chest of drawers and side chairs. A wooden shelving unit packed full of books and cast iron style radiators finish off the space beautifully, and all fixtures and fittings are of high quality and specification. The bedroom area has windows to three aspects, with outstanding views across the surrounding area.
An en suite shower room is separated from the bedroom by a large sliding wooden stable door. The en suite has a large shower cubicle with rain forest shower head and a smaller multi purpose hand held head, with large grey tiles to compliment the flooring downstairs. The remainder of the shower room fittings are of a traditional style, in keeping with the history of the building.
This romantic one bedroom cottage in the hills above Dolgellau is accessed via a long drive, leading to the magical location. Surrounded by woodland on the Nannau Estate, three miles north of Dolgellau, the lodge has a long history and once formed the south entrance of the Nannau Deer Park. The elevated location provides fantastic views over the market town of Dolgellau and further south towards Cader Idris, one of the stunning peaks of southern Eryri (Snowdonia). This remote location is perfect for couples who want to escape life's busy moments, embrace the peace and tranquility of this stunning location and enjoy quiet country walks.
There are several beautiful walking routes in the surrounding area, including some providing spectacular scenery on the Nannau Estate. The circular three mile Nannau Deer Park walk passes by the cottage and takes in views of the other stunning and historical buildings of the estate. Nearby, the Precipice Walk is a two mile circular walk which offers panoramic views of the Mawddach River valley and the mountains of Eryri beyond. There's also the opportunity to explore the area surrounding Llyn Cynnwch.
The market town of Dolgellau is located a short drive from the property , and the coastal town of Barmouth with its large expanse of golden sand beach can be reached within thirty minutes by car. Heading north east, Llyn Tegid in Bala is a popular destination that can be reached within half an hour, and to the north Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park is a great destination for hikers and mountain bikers.

The key is in the key safe on the wall by the front door.<br /> Key safe combination 1850<br /> <br /> There is a round orange road mirror, to aid visibility, at the end of our drive. When arriving, you will see the mirror and then opposite is the entrance to the track with a wooden 'Deer Park Lodge' sign. <p>The wood burning hot tub is very much a "hands on experience" as it isn't the electric instant switch-on kind. On arrival, you will need to fill the hot tub with fresh water, then light the wood burner and wait for it to heat up. You do have to make sure you make a roaring fire and during the colder winter months, this needs to be done a few hours ahead of using of the hot tub.</p>
