With stunning views and close to some truly beautiful natural landmarks, this four-bedroom, elegant holiday cottage on the banks of the River Artro is a fantastic getaway. Nestled in the tiny hamlet of Pentre Gwynfryn, Artro is only a couple of miles from Cwm Bychan and the famous Roman Steps leading into the Rhinog mountains.

The drive up to the cottage from the main road is beautiful; a tree-lined, winding road running along the river Artro. The house itself is a traditional white building with a slate roof, which is synonymous with the area - beautifully renovated, it is light, spacious and modern.

You come into the cottage directly into the main hallway. To the left is the open plan kitchen, dining room and the main sitting room. To the right is a sitting room come sun room - complete with sofa, reading chair and log burner, it is a great place to sit and read or just sit and take in the beautiful views through the bay windows. There is also a small TV here which makes it a great room for the kids to escape to when they want some downtime away from the adults!

Into the main room, the sitting room area has lots of sofa space, log burner and TV. You also have another set of bay windows that look out over the river and out onto the mountains beyond. Through an open arch brings you into the dining area. Consisting of a traditional farm style dining table that comfortably seats eight, it looks out from the huge windows that run along the width of the wall where there are more beautiful views to be had.

The kitchen is spacious with white wooden units, thick oak tops and, butler sink. The slate floors keep with those traditional elements. The bar that separates the dining room also works as an additional dining space with the bar stools - this is also a great place for those who are keeping the designated ‘cook’ company to sit and have a drink! New appliances and everything you need to cater for your group is here. There is a laundry room and ground floor WC that lead off from the kitchen.

The master bedroom is located on the ground floor. You will probably have to draw straws for this room, I won’t lie. An en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower, there is also a separate seating area that looks out through the french windows that lead out to your own patio area - it is truly idyllic. Using neutral tones with wooden panelled walls, the room is light, airy and relaxing to be in.

Upstairs brings you to the other three bedrooms - two doubles and a twin. All the rooms are beautifully decorated using modern, neutral colours for both the soft furnishings and on the walls - as with the downstairs bedroom they all feel calm, light and airy. There is a family bathroom on this floor with a shower over bath arrangement, WC and washbasin.

Location

 

Pentre Gwynfryn is located just outside Llanbedr and is one of the area’s hidden gems. The cottage itself has its own patio which looks out over the river, forests and mountains beyond. There are numerous walks right from the door step.

A 10 minute drive will take you up to Cwm Bychan, a large lake which is also the entry point for the famous Roman Steps walk which takes you into the Rhinog Mountains. There are some beautiful stops on the way up to the lake where you can stop off and swim in small pools, one of which has a set of three small waterfalls - it’s a local’s place they like to keep secret!

10 minutes away in the next valley is home to the famous Nantcol Waterfalls. There is a campsite here, but a nominal parking fee and they will give you access to the waterfalls. During the summer months they have a pizza company that comes to make pizza by the river - make a point of doing this, it’s great, especially if you have children in the mix.

20 minutes to the south will bring you to Barmouth. Blue flag beaches and a traditional seaside town with a funfair, a fantastic range of shops, cafes, restaurants and, harbour make it a great day out. Further along will bring you to Dolgellau which is home to Coed Y Brenin mountain biking centre, the mecca of mountain biking. There are 8 trails ranging from blue to black so there is something for everyone. There are also running and walking trails.

North from the cottage brings you to Harlech with the castle, a stunning sandy beach, Royal St Davids golf course, and a climbing wall for those rainy days. Home made cakes, ice cream and some lovely independent gift and antique shops make this a lovely place to spend some time.

In terms of the bigger attractions, you are 30 mins from one of Zip World locations and Portmeirion Village. An hour will bring you to Betws Y Coed, Slate Mountain and the other Zip World location and The National White Water Centre.

We had such a wonderful stay! An amazing and cosy cottage with amazing garden and sound of the running stream. Perfect location. We went to the local beer festival on the weekend which was great fun. We will definitely be back!

This is a lovely comfortable home in a perfect location for exploring the surrounding area, Weather was kind so it was ideal to spend time in the lovely garden, listening to the river and watching the sheep in the opposite field. Owners were welcoming and on hand to answer any questions. Would highly recommend and hope to be back.

WOW! We booked this stunning house for our annual walking weekend with friends. As soon as we pulled into the drive, we were blown away by the beautiful garden, mostly azaleas, which were in full bloom.The kitchen/dining area was perfect for our evening meals, in fact, because we were blessed with such lovely weather, we mostly dined around the huge garden table, where we could enjoy the Mountain Views, and the listen to the river running beside the garden.
Super well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, spotlessly clean, and lots of walks from the door, what more could you ask for, Oh! and such friendly hosts, Henrique and Sioned left a lovely welcome hamper, and popped in for a chat and a beer, we will definitely be back.

Another wonderful stay in this beautiful house! The owners are lovely too! Last year we came in may and this year we came in July. Both are exceptional times of year to go.
The house itself is clean, and is a home from home comfort, the beds are so comfortable and everything about the stay I loved!

What a gem! We were a large(ish) family group of 5 adults 1 toddler 1 2 month old baby and 2 dogs. The cottage was everything we could gave wished for. It catered for all our needs. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The welcome pack was so thoughtful (the Bara Brith was the best I’ve ever had). Situated in a beautiful area with lots of walks and waterfalls close at hand. The icing on the cake was the river Artro running at the side of the property. Lots of room in the extensive garden to sit and admire as it flowed by. All totally safe for pets and children alike. Fantastic pet friendly pub (The Victoria Inn) at the bottom of the road where we all had a very pleasant afternoon having lunch. We had a really lovely week. Highly recommended

Fantastic family house really well equipped, beautifully looked after and very comfortable. The location was fabulous, with plenty of walks with the dog, helped with the weather being glorious. Welcome pack with basics to make a cuppa, wine and the delicious bara brith with jams was very much appreciated after our journey. The owners were very helpful, on hand if needed, but out of the way if not. Would highly recommend this gorgeous property, it does not disappoint.
