This pet friendly holiday cottage near Beddgelert is a great example of a stone built traditional welsh farmhouse. Located in the stunning Glaslyn valley the cottage is ideally located for guests wanting to explore both the rugged Eyri (Snowdonia) mountains and the beautiful sandy beaches of North Wales.
Turning off the Beddgelert to Porthmadog road we continue up a private drive to the front door of Dinas-Ddu. On entering we step left into the lounge. A large inglenook with the original oak lintel houses that all important log fire. Two leather sofas sit on a beautiful welsh slate floor looking out at the fantastic views to the front of the house.
The kitchen is back round to the right. Simple kitchen units with all the essentials included. An electric oven and hob, microwave, large fridge freezer and dishwasher are all there. A second spacious utility room houses a modern washing machine and tumble dryer. There’s also a convenient ground floor bathroom just of the utility room and access to a sunny rear courtyard.
From the kitchen we can continue through into the dining room. Be sure to duck your head, this entrance is quite low. The dining room beyond is a really nice space with white washed stonewalls with a stable door leading to the courtyard to the side of the house.
We have to walk back through to the entrance hall to go upstairs. As with a lot of old houses the stairs have quite a narrow tread. Anyone with mobility difficulties should take care when descending and make good use of the sturdy handrail.
The bathroom is immediately to our right at the top of the stairs. It contains a nice white bathroom suit and shower cubicle on a wood laminate floor. Top of the stairs and turn left we come to a long corridor with three bedrooms leading off. One twin room, a comfortable double room, and a master bedroom with a super king-size bed. All the bedrooms have spectacular views over fields of sheep grazing and out towards the famous Glaslyn river.
Dinas-Ddu is set in a lovely private spot. Plenty of off road parking and a small but sunny gravelled area for seating and a larger lawn to the front. You may have to share the lawn with the odd stray sheep. The old stone pig sheds have also been renovated and provide dry and secure storage for guests with bikes or canoes etc.
Situated half way between Beddgelert and Porthmadog the property has a wealth of attractions and activities within a short drive. Beddgelert is a very picturesque village with a couple of lovely pubs and cafes etc and has long been popular with walkers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Porthmadog is a larger harbour town and offers more shopping facilities including a medium sized supermarket. From here guests can drive a little further on to enjoy the sandy beaches at Borth Y Gest or Black rock Sands.
There are many activities and attractions in the area. The Glaslyn Osprey centre is within walking distance to the cottage. Once there you might like to jump onto the fantastic narrow gauge Welsh Highland Steam Railway at nearby Pont Croesor. A short car journey will take you the medieval castle towns of Harlech to the south or Caernarfon to the north. Other popular adventure centres include Zip World in Blaenau Ffestioniog, Coed Y Brenin Mountain Biking Centre near Dolgellau and Tryweryn White Water rafting in Bala.
