The cottage has been sympathetically renovated and furnished. It has wooden and slate floors throughout, and a large wood burning stove in the main living area (heats radiators and hot water). It is surrounded by a large area of private garden with a table and benches for eating outside. ACCESS: the cottage is 3/4 mile from the road along a track which is in places steep, narrow and rough. It is passable to all cars (except low slung sports models) and not suitable for unconfident drivers. The railway crossing limits width/length of vehicles to standard transit van measurements. PLEASE CONTACT us if you drive a camper van as it might be too wide or long for the crossing. There are steps down to the cottage. The cottage is powered by both mains electricity and wind and solar, it is important not to leave lights on unnecessarily. Hot water is heated by electric immersion (switch above the dolls house on the landing) or when you use the wood burning stove. The surrounding land overlooks the Vale of Ffestiniog, one of the most beautiful and best preserved wooded valleys in Britain. It is an excellent area for walking, bird watching, mountain bike riding and swimming. A swimming lake and Plas Halt request stop of the Ffestiniog Railway are both within easy walking distance. The picturesque village of Maentwrog with two good pubs is two miles away. The cottage's location 10 miles from the sandy beaches of Harlech to the south, and 10 miles from Snowdon to the north makes it an ideal base for exploring Snowdonia. DOG OWNERS: we welcome two dogs at Hafod cottage - please bring bedding, towels and make sure your dog does not go on any furniture. IMPORTANT: Your dog must not be left in the cottage unattended. WOODLAND PASTURE scheme with a few of cows grazing our 30 acres of land is starting in 2020\. The hope is to create a more diverse habitat for wildlife at Hafod. You may meet cows on the track. The cottage and parking area is fenced to keep cows out - please keep the gates closed. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - On a lake ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/59000000/58280000/58278200/58278153/04c19410.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Remote, family, pet friendly, stunning views, log burner, walks from the door.

Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Roman K. 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property offered exactly what we were looking for: peace and tranquility. Nestled amidst beautiful forests and serene lakes, it was the perfect escape for my family and our two collies. The numerous nearby paths made it easy for us to explore the natural surroundings, and being close to the coast was a delightful bonus.While the house had a very basic feel and seemed to hearken back to the late 1980s, this added a certain charm to our stay. The patio wasn’t as inviting as we had hoped, but it didn't detract from our overall experience. What truly stood out was the hospitality of our hosts, Noelle and Richard. They were incredibly kind and attentive, always available to lend a helping hand or answer any questions we had.Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially if you’re looking for a simple yet peaceful getaway. I would definitely consider returning for another stay! ##### Roman K.

Basic property, no tv, wi fi etc but perfect for a place to switch off,peaceful and full of bird song. The track up is tricky but not at all terrible and steep steps down to the cottage but totally secluded and private. We had perfect weather and swam in the swimming lake every day. Harlech beach is stunning and only a short drive away. My dog picked up lots of sheep ticks from the garden so if youre taking your best buddy make sure they are treated first. Overall, we loved our stay. bestbessBEACHswimminlakevery d ##### Judith g.

An ideal location for exploring the mountains of Snowdonia and the nearby beaches. We loved the remoteness of the cottage, the peaceful surroundings and the cosy wood burning stove at the end of each day’s adventures. The cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped. The owner was very responsive to questions before booking, all information was very clear and check in process really simple. ##### Anna R.

A beautiful setting in an idyllic and peaceful location. The perfect place to get away from it all. The host met us when we arrived and had already got the fire going in the cottage. The accommodation was comfortable and our dog loved exploring outside. Walks around the lakes and woods straight from the door.

Wow, what a lovely little gem. From the moment we got out of the car, the kids loved every minute. The owners had already got the fire going, so once we arrived the cottage was nice and toasty. Theres so much information provided in the folders inside the property, and so much to do within the locality. The walks, waterfalls, steam train and even the private garden, all add to the charm of this cottage. We will definitely be back. ##### Simon H.

Just follow the instructions supplied and you will get there. The drive from the main gate to the cottage might seem daunting, but as long as you go slow... you can easily make it! The cottage is great, but not for the fait of heart. For the ones like me that are more physically challenged the hill/incline to go in and out was tough, but worth it to be in the middle of nowhere. The fire log is your 'lifeline' to warmth and hot water, so make sure you know how to operate. The hosts are great so in any doubt ask them! The beds are the most comfortable thing! They even have blankets made of real wool! Big people be aware that one of the main double is on the 'slimmer' size. ##### Paula T.

Either way this is straight out of a fairy tale. Maybe a Hans Christian Andersen story. A little stone cottage, surrounded by woodland with stone steps leading down to it, smoke coming from the chimney. If you are looking for state of the art, mod cons, sleek & modern - scroll on. This will not be for you. It's a little worn, it could do with a bathroom update - but none of this matters. It's clean, it's comfy it's cosy. Nothing matches but it's wonderful. I didn't enjoy the drive up and down to the cottage,to be honest, but my husband did, giggling with excitement, so I just didn't look. Come here for relaxation, walks, nature, find your inner adventure and enjoy all things natural at their finest. Thank you for the de- stress and taking my mind of this chaotic world for a moment. ##### David R.

The immediate setting is very secluded and peaceful. ##### Austen S.

Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally P. 20 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sublime No negatives, the location & cottage were beautiful. Weather was amazing, plenty of logs for the fire & secure space for the dogs to run. So many walks from the doorstep, lakes to wild swim in & it was so so peaceful. We will definitely be back… Thank you 😊 ##### Sally P. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tina W. 12 Sept 2018 #### Adequate accommodation fabulous area ! The walk down to the cottage was steep and there wasn’t any real pathway which was difficult on arriving and departing with luggage. The cottage was basic but had what we needed(except no microwave or tv) the walks etc were amazing we all loved it including the dogs. ##### Tina W. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Thierry P. 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy The cottage was as described on the website. The host was very welcoming and pleasant. The cottage being in a sunken location, there is little 4G network reception.The bathroom really needs to be renovated. The hot water system is relatively restrictive. As is the kitchen. There is a constant smell of gas when cooking. The terrace at the back is barely usable due to the condition of the floor and the table and benches, which are very damaged by the weather. The access path is really long and difficult by car. Access to the cottage on foot is via a long path-staircase which can be slippery and is unsuitable for people suffering from osteoarthritis. Anyway we still had a nice, peaceful stay. ##### Thierry P.
