"The staff could not have made us more welcome" Mrs D Everest

Freedom Breaks are a flexible way to enjoy some of Britain's most scenic areas.

Our new Country House is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the relaxing ambience makes it a particularly attractive place to stay. With numerous attractions, and an excellent variety of walks available, this is a great base from which to enjoy Southern Snowdonia.

Highlights of your stay could include:

• Explore the stunning scenery of the Snowdonia National Park, with great local walks nearby
• A walk to the impressive summit of Cadair Idris, which dominates the local skyline
• A visit to the charming seaside town of Barmouth and Harlech Castle
• Explore the celebrated Great Little Trains of Wales - the Talyllyn, Vale of Rheidol, Welshpool & Llanfair, and Ffestiniog lines are all within easy reach
• Nearby Coed y Brenin Forest offers a selection of outstanding mountain biking trails. The more leisurely Mawddach Trail follows the old railway line from Dolgellau to the coast
• Discover the area's outstanding birdlife, with visits to the RSPB reserves on either side of the Mawddach Estuary
