The romantic retreat
For a tranquil escape in rural South Snowdonia, look no further than this beautiful stone-built barn conversion with private hot tub and stunning scenery in every direction. Set on a working farm amongst the rolling hills between Dolgellau and Bala, Sgubor y Gader features an attractive open plan living area with modern fitted
kitchen, comfortable seating and dining area for up to four people. The king bedroom is complete with ample storage and sofa bed, and the colourful bathroom is well appointed with both bath and shower. To the front of the property, there’s a lovely patio area that’s perfect for a spot of al fresco dining or an evening of star gazing – making it perfect for that romantic getaway. On a clear day, enjoy far-reaching views out towards Aran Fawddwy, Aran Benllyn, Rhobell Fawr and Cadair Idris mountain ranges.

Bwthyn Llys Twrog is a modern two-bedroom Victorian barn conversion sleeping four people. The twin bedroom is located in the crog loft and, as it has slightly restricted headroom, is ideal for children. With panoramic views across the Menai Straits the property is situated between Caernarfon and Porthmadog, high in the hills above Pen y Groes. Not far away there are some abandoned slate quarries that provide a fascinating insight into the history of North Wales. This is an excellent area for walking or mountain biking from the door, with easy access to mountains, historic castles and other attractions – including a nearby Welsh vineyard.
