This beautiful stone holiday farmhouse, dating back to the 17th century, is one of 10 self-catering cottages on an agricultural estate in North Wales. The farmhouse has been restored using traditional materials and techniques and boasts many period features including exposed beams, wooden and slate floors, and a bread oven. It offers stunning pastoral views and has three bedrooms - one with a 5' king-size bed, one with a 6' super-king size zip and link beds, and another with twin single beds. The property can accommodate up to six guests and has two bathrooms. A separate annexe provides accommodation for an additional two guests. The cottage has an enclosed garden complete with garden furniture and a barbecue. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome at an additional charge. Guests can explore over 20 miles of private paths that run through woods and farms across the estate or visit the world-famous Bodnant Garden owned by the National Trust.
