About this property

Finest Retreats | Hermon Bach

Escape to an idyllic stone cottage nestled within the tranquil Nannau Estate, just a stone's throw away from the breath-taking Coed Y Brenin Mountain Forest Park. This charming retreat offers a perfect haven for families or friends seeking a peaceful getaway amidst nature's embraces.

You'll be enveloped by the serene beauty of the surrounding woodland as you park your car and stroll past the babbling stream. The property, believed to be the former stables of the neighbouring Old Chapel, hosts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to four guests.

Inside, discover a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. The open-plan lounge, kitchen, and diner welcome you with exposed beams and thoughtful touches throughout. Whip up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and gather around the dining table for a leisurely meal or unwind by the wood burner. The ground floor boasts a lovely king-size bedroom with an en suite shower room, where French doors lead out to the enclosed garden. Upstairs, two single bedrooms are designed with comfort in mind for a restful night's sleep.

Outside, there is plenty of space to relax and embrace the views. Enjoy al fresco dining on the patio area with a table, chairs, and BBQ, sit by the stream, or help yourself to seasonal produce from the garden. The enclosed garden is mostly laid to lawn, surrounded by the open garden and woodland, offering a great spot to watch the stars. If you are bringing your bikes, there is room in the garden shed to store them. Additionally, off-road parking is available at the property for two cars.

Close to Coed Y Brenin Mountain forest park, the valleys of rivers Mawddach, Eden, Gain, and Wen, and the National Trust site in Ganllwyd, the area offers the finest mountain biking in the UK, with waymarked trails for both cycling and walking, past rivers, gorges, and waterfalls. Visitors can also enjoy fishing at Trawfynnedd, while adrenaline seekers can head to Go Ape High Wires, Zip World Slate Caverns, and the National White-Water Rafting Centre, all close by. Explore local towns with eateries, shops, and attractions such as historic Dolgellau, Bala with its lake, Barmouth with its beach, and Harlech with its Castle—an all year-round destination.

What a fantastic stay.

Perfectly nestled in the middle of Coed-y-Brenin. Stunning scenery, peaceful and lots of stunning walks either from the doora few minutes journey. We even added a day to our trip and the host was very responsive and accommodating.

Caroline

An absolute gem of a stay.

We really loved staying here. The accommodation was perfect and the thoughtfulness of the provisions was exceptional. From the welcoming pack to drying room, first aid box, maps and local info and dog treats. The area is just stunning with loads to do if you like the outdoors. Great food offerings locally too. The only thing we missed was not being able to have a window open in the main bedroom. We couldn’t figure out how to open the velux.

Fabulous location and cottage

Everything !! I’ve never stayed in a property so well equipped . We were cold as we didn’t expect such cold weather in June/July . The fire wouldn’t light due to few fire lighters and no kindling being available .
