A side unit and coffee table are in a modern style, with an LED TV located on the shelf in the corner. Exposed wooden beams at high level are a reminder of the history of the building, and a large Welsh dresser on the opposite wall provide a nod to the traditional feel of the building. Pale wooden flooring leads through the room into the dining and kitchen area. L shaped kitchen units are located to the rear of the space, finished in a modern grey with a dark grey tiled splashback. An electric oven with hob over sit alongside a built-in dishwasher and fridge freezer. A kettle and microwave are included and there is plenty of worktop space and cupboard storage for self-catering guests.
French doors from the kitchen area lead out to a private and secluded deck area which sits above the Afon Goch (Red River), which runs along the rear of the property into the nearby Llyn Padarn. The deck area is stunning with rattan lounge furniture located next to an inviting hot tub, perfect for relaxing summer evenings after a day out exploring. Steps lead down to a patio area which includes outdoor dining furniture for al fresco dining. Surrounded by woodland, and the trickle of the river below, it's a fabulous spot to relax.
