Nice little cottage for a short break away from it all.
-
The cottage is in a quiet location and is in an excellent position for people who enjoy a walk. The cottage has wooden flooring throughout and is suitable for pets (dogs), the garden is long and narrow with a patio outside the back door. There is a stream that flows through the garden under the extension. The cottage, Garthfain, can comfortably sleep a family of 4 and has all the amenities you need, fridge with freezer compartment, microwave, toaster, wifi, tv etc. I would thoroughly recommend Garthfain as a base to explore Snowdonia National Park

Dolwyddelan
For a medium length walk through the lush green valleys of Snowdonia, you can’t get much better than this one around Dolwyddelan. Lasting around four miles, the walk is a lovely way to spend your day, and you can even have a bite to eat at the café.
Dolwyddelan
Dolwyddelan translates to “the Meadow of Gwyddelan” in English, with Gwyddelan being a 5thcentury saint who set up his preaching cross by the hill, close to where the parish church is currently situated. According to Welsh legend, Saint Gwyddelan travelled across from Ireland, and helped to restore Christianity to the area after the Romans left.
Elen’s Castle Hotel and Restaurant
When you are travelling through the gorgeous Snowdonia National Park, you will, at some point, need to take a bit of time for yourself to relax, unwind, and refuel with a nice, hearty meal. After all, you will likely be trekking through dense woodland, hiking up the sides of craggy peaks, and tromping your way through swampy marshlands. It’s only natural that you’ll work up an appetite!
