This stately manor sits on the outskirts of Dolgellau, offering market-town charm and nearby amenities in the Snowdonia National Park. A grand home for family get-togethers, this building steeped in political history, now serves as a contemporary retreat for the whole group – and your furry friends. A games room awaits, as well as outdoor seating spots and a hot tub in the garden. While the local shop a stroll away is a handy bonus, cars are necessary for visits to Cadair Idris mountain and hikes along the popular Mawddach Trail.
