The property is a listed grade 2 Welsh longhouse and comprises of the farmhouse, stable, barn and old wash house. The 4 bedroomed converted barn has a private hot tub and games room within the enclosed garden. Please note 3 bedroomed cottage Does NOT have a hot tub.
We are a family that have been here since 1986. We speak English and Welsh and our hobbies are running, cycling and walking in the beautiful countryside and horse riding.
Some of our favourite things to do. All within 10 miles and free of charge (apart from cycle hire). 1. The Torrent Walk. A 1.7 mile circular walk showcasing the best waterfalls in Merionnydd. 2. Castell y Bere. A National Trust preserved ancient Welsh fortress, located in the stunning Dysynni Valley. 3. Arthog to Barmouth Estuary Crossing. 4. Foel Caerynwch (The Pimple) – Probably one of the first things you will see on your arrival to Maes yr Helmau. Climb ‘The Pimple’ to discover a vista that should really take a higher degree of effort for the visual reward that greets all that conquer her! 4. Cregennan Lakes – This is a true hidden gem! Enjoy a tranquil car journey along the lower slopes of the Cader Idris mountain range to arrive at Cregennan Lakes, where you will discover one of the most beautiful and peaceful destinations in Wales 5. The Mawddach Trail – Whether you decide to walk or cycle along this disused railway track that runs from Dolgellau to Morfa Mawddach (Arthog) and beyond to Barmouth, you will not be disappointed. A perfect, safe cycling route for all ages and abilities along the picturesque and tranquil Mawddach Estuary
