Our cottages sit in the heart of central North Wales, putting you within easy reach of an extraordinary range of landscapes, attractions and experiences, from UNESCO World Heritage sites and ancient castles to mountain summits, sandy beaches and world-class fishing. Here's a flavour of what's on your doorstep.
North Wales has some of the most dramatic scenery in the UK. To the west rise the Snowdonia mountains, including Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales, along with the Rhinog and Cadair Idris ranges. Centrally sit the Aran and Arenig ranges, while to the east, the Berwyn and Clwydian hills offer superb walking and riding with sweeping views across the Vale of Clwyd. Between these ranges run rushing white water rivers and streams, with stunning valleys and a string of beautiful lakes, including Llyn Tegid at Bala (the largest natural lake in Wales), Llyn Brenig, Llyn Celyn and Llyn Trawsfynydd.
Our cottages are a genuine haven for anglers. Derwen Fisheries, two well-stocked coarse fishing lakes, is just half a mile from the cottage door. Guests also receive a free permit to fish a mile of the Upper River Dee, one of Wales' most beautiful and productive stretches of river (the number of days included depends on the length of your stay). Brenig Lake is also within easy reach, offering excellent trout fishing in a stunning reservoir setting.
The North Wales coast is famed for its sweeping sandy beaches, extensive dune systems and outstanding wildlife. Whether you're after a bucket-and-spade family beach day or a long coastal walk through dunes and nature reserves, the coast is less than an hour from the cottages. The Llŷ
