Overview
Property code: 85970

Embrace an active holiday and head to North Wales with your party of eight, selecting this quirky former chapel as your base. Beautifully converted yet still boasting an array of original features, the property has four bedrooms, a wood burner and spectacular views, making this the ultimate treat for adventurers at heart. Bring along your bikes or save on space with hire options, tackling the majestic Mawddach Trail. Put your walking boots to the test and venture to the ethereal Coed y Brenin Forest (8.5 miles), then round off your day with a warming nightcap by the flickering flames of the fire.

Bask in the marvellous ambience of your abode from the moment you set foot inside, admiring the high ceilings, original windows and exposed stone walls. Film nights and board games are best enjoyed around the coffee table from your position on the comfortable sofas, and once you have popped a log on the fire and switched on the heating, the vibe is complete. Overlooking the lounge is the mezzanine that acts as a snug for the youngest guests to escape to, and below this is the extremely stylish kitchen and dining area for all those hearty meals you’ll soon be feasting on. The bedrooms are scattered between the two floors, one of which is on the ground floor complete with an en-suite shower room. The remaining three are upstairs, one of which has an en-suite shower room and the remainder share a fabulous bathroom with a shower over the bath. Outside, the pretty garden is perfect for special BBQ suppers and drinks on the patio.

Further along the coast, Harlech (18.5 miles) is known for its castle whilst Porthmadog, 23.5 miles away, is awash with attractions including a narrow-gauge railway and The Cob - the iconic embankment that is a must-see. The coastline itself will thrill guests of all ages too with its repertoire for activities including paddleboarding, fishing, water sports and boat trips.
