Luxury Farmhouse in Mountain Location | Cwmain

X10
Real FireLarge Cottage
Bala
 
 

Cwmain is an 18th century luxury farmhouse in a mountain location. This traditional stone built welsh cottage has been recently refurbished to a very high standard and sits in an idyllic location high up in the hills of North Wales. Modern facilities such as underfloor heating and fitted kitchen units sit comfortably along side carefully retained character features.

A large entrance hall leads off to a joyful playroom, a spacious utility room complete with washing machine and tumble dryer, a convenient ground floor WC and then finally a wonderful country cottage kitchen. The kitchen includes some nice cream fitted units under a dark work surface all sitting on a quarry-tiled floor. An impressive cooking range sits to one side of the room whilst a large fridge freezer stands proudly near the window. The kitchen is also large enough to accommodate a small breakfast table and chairs. A separate larder ensures that there’s plenty of room for all the supplies that your family will need during your stay.

Family diners can have no better stage than the adjoining dining room. A large oval table is surrounded by some beautiful wooden chairs. A small log fire within a stone helps create a wonderful cozy atmosphere helped, of course, by the warm floor tiles. Some antique furniture and beautiful side lamps add a real touch of class to the room.

The lounge houses another log fire. A larger version this time sitting within a striking inglenook fireplace. A large flat screen tv sits to one side and a sumptuous wrap around sofa curves around the opposite two walls. Some lovely wall lighting and a sash window overlooking the surrounding fields provides light.

We return to the dining room to climb the stairs to the first floor. 5 bedrooms in total. Two double rooms, two twin rooms and one smaller child’s room with some bunk beds. All the bedrooms are beautifully furnished. A perfect mix of colours and fabrics has created individual rooms with their own character whilst sharing a real sense of style and grace. Outdone only by the views from the windows perhaps.

The master bedroom at the far end of the house has its own en-suite bathroom with modern shower. Two more family bathrooms on this floor. One of which has a large enamelled bath in addition to the WC and washbasin. The second family bathroom has a shower, WC and washbasin.

Location

 

As described, the cottage is in an idyllic location. Fields of grazing sheep surround the cottage with panoramic views in every direction beyond. Peace and tranquility is guaranteed and guests are encouraged to explore the surrounding countryside by foot whenever possible.

A 20 minute car journey south however will bring you to the town of Bala. Bala is a charming example of a welsh market town and a wonderful mix of traditional welsh culture and contemporary shops and cafés. The surrounding area has long established itself as a Mecca for adventure activities. You will pass the world renowned Tryweryn white water centre on the way into town. Fishing, sailing and windsurfing can also be enjoyed enjoyed on Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake). The Coed Y Brenin Mountain Biking centre is about half an hour further on.

Sitting as it does on the Eastern edge of the National Park, this part of Snowdonia has the natural benefit of being easily accessible from the English road network. If you continue a little further west however visitors to the cottage can be in the popular tourist town of Betws Y Coed, catching a steam train from Blaenau Ffestiniog or ascending the slopes of Wyddfa (Snowdon) from Llanberis.

A lovely peaceful location. Couldn’t recommend enough for a private trip surrounded by nature. The Farmhouse was beautifully stocked and furnished:) 5 stars, would definitely recommend.

A lovely farmhouse in a remote location. Perfect for a peaceful private getaway.
Everything was left clean and ready for us and the house was well stocked and furnished 🙂

We had a wonderful stay at this delightful farmhouse, so full of character, and with views across the hills. Very well equipped and thoughtfully restored.

We absolutely loved staying here, very private and peaceful. We all come from Manchester, Sheffield and London so it was lovely to be so remote in the countryside. The cottage was very clean and felt very homely. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home!

We were a family party of 7 who very much enjoyed our stay at Cwmain Cottage.

We did however have a few snags. The free view box in the living room was broken (a couple of members of the party tried to tune it in to no avail) and the sofa felt damp, I suspect if the fire in the living room was lit this would have helped, but in July it was much too warm to light the fire in the evening. The oven needed a clean, as did some of the oven trays, which looked like they’d been used and put away by previous guests without having been cleaned terribly well. The grout and filter in the en suite shower also needed a clean.

All that being said, the house was spacious, well designed and beautifully and sympathetically decorated. It was exceptionally well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a short break, for all ages of guests. The beds were comfortable.

The property is remote and down a stone farm track with two gates that need opening and closing behind you. We enjoyed the location, but you do need to drive carefully down the track, particularly if you have a lower set car. There are plenty of places to visit only a short drive away from the cottage.

Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We absolutely loved staying in your cottage. When we arrived, the cottage was very clean and felt very homely. We loved how remote it is, we all lived across Manchester, Sheffield and London so it was lovely to spend time in the countryside and have peace and quiet. Commuting to other areas was easy too as it was only 20 mins away. Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely home!

Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings. Cannot recommend enough. Fully equipped house with loads of space for a big party. A very helpful and kind host, nothing more you can ask of. Will definitely come again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cwmain cottage last weekend. We were a group of 10 including three kids. Kids enojyed the play room and the outdoors too. Rooms were clean, beds were very comfortable, kitchen and utility room are great. Scenic views at the door step. Convenient location too for exploring surrounding areas such as Betws-y-Coed, Bala and Ogwen Valley. On our last day, we witnessed the Sheep shearing in the barn opposite and as kids never saw it before, they enjoyed it. Idyllic overall. Certain that we will plan another visit next year. Thank you so much.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cwmain farmhouse cottage. It was perfect for two families and although very spacious, it was very cosy and had absolutely everything you could need – a home away from home. I also cannot rate the beds highly enough, we all slept so incredibly well!!! Perfect for a rural and peaceful escape in the countryside. Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back someday.
