This extraordinary Grade I and II listed farmhouse offers guests the rare chance to stay in a property steeped in history, with reputed links to Oliver Cromwell. Tucked away in a completely secluded rural setting within the magnificent Snowdonia National Park, it combines fascinating heritage with the peace and tranquillity of the Welsh countryside. Located close to the traditional village of Llan Ffestiniog, this unique property makes an ideal retreat for families or groups of up to eight guests.
The farmhouse provides four comfortable bedrooms, one of which boasts the most stunning exposed beams, a beautiful feature that captures the building’s historic character. A family bathroom serves the first floor, while a convenient separate toilet is available downstairs. The ground floor offers two inviting living areas, one complete with a smart TV for entertainment, and a charming dining room with timber beams and even a piano for those who wish to add a musical touch to their evenings. A separate, well-equipped kitchen provides everything needed for preparing hearty meals after a day of exploring.
Outside, the garden offers sweeping views across the surrounding countryside, a truly enchanting place to sit back and take in Snowdonia’s ever-changing landscapes. Just beyond, a nearby stream, running from an old gold mine, adds a touch of adventure. Guests may even wish to bring along a sieve and try their luck at a little gold spotting, a fun and unusual activity for all ages.
The local area is rich with things to see and do. Blaenau Ffestiniog, a short distance away, is famed for its slate-mining heritage and now offers adrenaline-filled attractions such as Zip World and Bounce Below. Head further afield to Porthmadog, a bustling harbour town with heritage railways and nearby beaches or explore the pretty coastal village of Borth-y-Gest with its sandy coves and scenic walks. Harlech, home to a striking UNESCO-listed castle and an expansive beach, makes for a great day trip, while Betws-y-Coed, nestled among forests and rivers, offers charming shops, cafes, and beautiful woodland trails.
Blending history, seclusion, and adventure, this farmhouse provides a truly unforgettable Snowdonia escape.
