Let In Wales

A most exceptional cottage in the idyllic setting of bala, Snowdonia, summarises Bwthyn Clyd. Its name means “cosy cottage” but it is so much more than that. Set on the owners Grade 11 Listed historic farmstead, which was formerly part of the Rhug Estate and no longer a working farm, this stone built cottage has been lovingly converted from a cattle byre into the first of what will eventually be 2 designer holiday homes, each sleeping 4.

Tucked away on a quiet back road, just 15 minutes from Bala, or 30 minutes from either Betws y Coed or Llangollen along the A5, the cottage is ideally situated to take advantage of the rich and varied landscapes of north and mid Wales. In a peaceful and tranquil setting, the local area is ideal for walkers and lovers of the countryside.

The cottage is arranged on 2 floors, with the sitting room upstairs to take advantage of the wonderful views. The front door leads into the kitchen, which also has French doors to a rear floodlit patio area. The floors throughout the downstairs are of polished Welsh slate. Oak fitted units, granite tops and Belfast sink, washing machine, microwave and electric hob and oven. Dining table for 4, easy chairs and TV. Off the kitchen, doors to the fully tiled bathroom, with step-in shower, WC and handbasin. Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom with beautiful hand made metal beds. An oak staircase winds from the kitchen to upstairs, which has oak floors throughout.

Master bedroom with vaulted beamed ceiling and ornate metal double bed. Sitting room with soft leather sofas, electric radiant fire, TV/DVD. Endless views across open countryside. The sitting room and the bedroom are separated by heavy curtains which can be tied back during the day.
There is ample parking right outside the cottage door, a private patio and barbecue area to the side with extended views across the owners land. To the rear of the cottage is a floodlit paved patio area with furniture. There is plenty of safe space for children to play.

Bwthyn Clyd is just ½ a mile from a small country tea shop, serving light snacks and home made cakes. Nearby is the Rhug Organic Farm Shop, which sells its own produce as well as holding a Sunday Farmers Market. 2 miles from the cottage is the village of Cynwyd, which has 2 pubs, a post office and a fish bar.
