A rustic barn conversion by the River Llugwy

The barn has been finished in a welcoming, traditional style, with two bedrooms, a bathroom and open-plan living warmed by a woodburning stove. Being all on one level, it is easy and comfortable to live in, and the woodland-garden setting — with parking and birdsong — feels a world away from the everyday. It is exactly the kind of peaceful retreat that makes a Snowdonia break special.

Peaceful and dog-friendly

Sleeping four, single-storey and welcoming a dog, Bythyn Ddol Hafod is ideal for a couple or small family who want a quiet, accessible base close to the rivers and mountains. The setting by the River Llugwy, in woodland gardens, is genuinely tranquil.
