Bwthyn Afon is a welcoming former miner's cottage dating back to the 18th Century sitting in a lovely peaceful position, overlooking countryside and a river, just a short stroll from Tanygrisiau and also within walking distance of the Ffestiniog Steam Railway. The cottage has been completely renovated and provides a delightful, homely retreat whilst retaining much traditional character including the lovely inglenook fireplace housing a multi fuel stove in the lounge area and exposed beams. Nestling in the very heart of Snowdonia's stunning national park amongst spectacular scenery, Bwthyn Afon is an ideal base for couples and families - dogs are also welcome.
Exuding a warm welcome, the cottage provides comfortable well presented self-catering accommodation and is one in a peaceful row of cottages located in Tanygrisiau - a pretty Welsh village with a good range of amenities.
Standing amongst breathtaking scenery, Bwthyn Afon affords lovely countryside views that encompass the surrounding hills and the Manod mountains to the front of the property. The Moelwyn mountains provide a rocky backdrop which protects Tanygrisiau from the harsh winter winds and its southerly aspect offers a somewhat milder climate, which is a pleasant surprise considering the height that the village sits at within Snowdonia.
Locally there are superb walks, majestic lakes and beautiful waterfalls to be explored directly from the cottage front door, along with good opportunities for golf and fishing. There is a village pub within a twenty minute walk from Bwthyn Afon or closer still is The Lakeside café (just a two minute stroll).
Blaenau Ffestiniog, one of the areas historic slate mining towns is just a mile and a half away where you will find a good choice of places to eat, shops, pubs, petrol station, leisure centre with pool and the renowned Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Steam Railway - an award winning attraction and wonderful nostalgic way of discovering the beauty of the area.
Bwthyn Afon is a superb retreat from which to explore Snowdonia and its many attractions. Llechwedd Slate Caverns, Zip World Titan, Zip Caverns and Bounce Below are only a mile and a half away and Portmeirion, the famous Italianiate village is within easy driving distance and only eight miles. The numerous CADW heritage sites and beautiful beaches are under half an hour away by car, Snowdon is a similar distance and one of the country's top mountain biking centres (Coed y Brenin) is twelve miles from the cottage.
