Secluded Cottage in Heart of the Snowdonia National Park
HAFOD COTTAGE is a large stone cottage nestled in 30 acres of privately owned woodland in the hills above Maentwrog. The cottage has been sympathetically renovated and furnished. It has wooden and slate floors throughout, and a large wood burning stove in the main living area (heats radiators and hot water). It is surrounded by a large area of private garden with a table and benches for eating outside. ACCESS: the cottage is 3/4 mile from the road along a track which is in places steep, narrow and rough. It is passable to all cars (except low slung sports models) and not suitable for unconfident drivers. The railway crossing limits width/length of vehicles to standard transit van measurements. PLEASE CONTACT us if you drive a camper van as it might be too wide or long for the crossing. There are steps down to the cottage.
The cottage is powered by both mains electricity and wind and solar, it is important not to leave lights on unnecessarily. Hot water is heated by electric immersion (switch above the dolls house on the landing) or when you use the wood burning stove.
The surrounding land overlooks the Vale of Ffestiniog, one of the most beautiful and best preserved wooded valleys in Britain. It is an excellent area for walking, bird watching, mountain bike riding and swimming. A swimming lake and Plas Halt request stop of the Ffestiniog Railway are both within easy walking distance. The picturesque village of Maentwrog with two good pubs is two miles away. The cottage's location 10 miles from the sandy beaches of Harlech to the south, and 10 miles from Snowdon to the north makes it an ideal base for exploring Snowdonia.
DOG OWNERS: we welcome two dogs at Hafod cottage - please bring bedding, towels and make sure your dog does not go on any furniture. IMPORTANT: Your dog must not be left in the cottage unattended.
WOODLAND PASTURE scheme with a few of cows grazing our 30 acres of land is starting in 2020. The hope is to create a more diverse habitat for wildlife at Hafod. You may meet cows on the track. The cottage and parking area is fenced to keep cows out - please keep the gates closed.

Basic property, no tv, wi fi etc but perfect for a place to switch off,peaceful and full of bird song. The track up is tricky but not at all terrible and steep steps down to the cottage but totally secluded and private. We had perfect weather and swam in the swimming lake every day. Harlech beach is stunning and only a short drive away. My dog picked up lots of sheep ticks from the garden so if youre taking your best buddy make sure they are treated first. Overall, we loved our stay. bestbessBEACHswimminlakevery d

Aussergewöhnlich
Wirklich abgeschiedenes Ferienhaus mit abenteuerlicher Zufahrt, wer absolute Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Die Lage zu den verschiedesten Bergtouren ist ideal. Die Warmwasserversorgung durch den Ofen dauert seine Zeit, haben öfter den Heater benutzt, also kein Problem. Richard ist unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat uns zu allen Fragen und Problemen sofort mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden, vielen Dank, auch für die schönen 2 Wochen im wunderschönen Wales

Natur pur
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit im Cottage. Es ist sehr gemütlich, die Küche ist gut ausgestattet (Toaster hätten wir auch gut gefunden, aber sonst ist alles da), und die Lage im Grünen ist wunderbar!
Wir wurden herzlich empfangen von Richard. Das Holz im Ofen war schon gestapelt, so dass wir es am zweiten Abend, wo wir es tatsächlich brauchten, nur noch anzünden mussten.
Die Anfahrt ist sehr abenteuerlich und wirklich nur für geübte Fahrer geeignet.
Ein bisschen enttäusch waren wir, dass man vom Cottage selbst keine Aussicht hat. Die Fotos im Inserat erweckten für uns den Anschein. Die Aussicht ist oberhalb, wo man das Auto parkt, zum Häuschen geht man nach unten auf eine kleine Lichtung. Es liegt dadurch sehr eingekuschelt und geborgen mit Blick auf den Wald.
Wunderbar ist es, nach oben oder unten sofort loswandern zu können, für Familie mit Hund, aber auch mit Kindern ideal. Die Steine auf der Schieferterrasse erwärmen sich schnell in der Sonne, und es ist ein besonderer Genuss, bei etwas kühlerem Wetter und Sonne darauf zu sitzen.
Unser angelbegeisterter Sohn ist auch durch die fußläufig gelegenen Seen voll auf seine Kosten gekommen.
Ein wunderbarer Platz also für Naturliebhaber, mit sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgebern.

Idyllic
Myself, my daughter and our elderly dog stayed here for a week in early summer. A beautiful setting in an idyllic and peaceful location. The perfect place to get away from it all. The host met us when we arrived and had already got the fire going in the cottage. The accommodation was comfortable and our dog loved exploring outside. Walks around the lakes and woods straight from the door. Will definitely be returning

Excellent, but different
The cottage is fab and has everything you need for an amazing holiday.
Just follow the instructions supplied and you will get there.
The drive from the main gate to the cottage might seem daunting, but as long as you go slow... you can easily make it!
The cottage is great, but not for the fait of heart. For the ones like me that are more physically challenged the hill/incline to go in and out was tough, but worth it to be in the middle of nowhere.
The fire log is your 'lifeline' to warmth and hot water, so make sure you know how to operate. The hosts are great so in any doubt ask them!
The beds are the most comfortable thing! They even have blankets made of real wool! Big people be aware that one of the main double is on the 'slimmer' size.

Wonderful cottage
I booked this cottage for my two kids and I for a week at Easter. Wow, what a lovely little gem. From the moment we got out of the car, the kids loved every minute. The owners had already got the fire going, so once we arrived the cottage was nice and toasty. Theres so much information provided in the folders inside the property, and so much to do within the locality. The walks, waterfalls, steam train and even the private garden, all add to the charm of this cottage. We will definitely be back.

Perfect off-grid escape in beautiful countryside with plenty to do
Our family of 5 (kids 11, 9, 7) and dog had a fantastic stay in this quaint off-grid cottage. An ideal location for exploring the mountains of Snowdonia and the nearby beaches.
We loved the remoteness of the cottage, the peaceful surroundings and the cosy wood burning stove at the end of each day’s adventures.
The cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped. The owner was very responsive to questions before booking, all information was very clear and check in process really simple.

Beautiful property and location
We had a week at the cottage earlier this month, the cottage is secluded in a beautiful location, with lots of walks right from the doorstep and a good location for exploring Snowdonia. The hosts were brilliant and helped us out with some car troubles. Also perfect if you have a dog that doesn't like other dogs as we hardly saw any all week.

Unique setting in Snowdonia Forest
My family and I had a fantastic week in your fantastic cottage despite everything the Welsh weather could throw at us. The upside to the precipitation was the beauty of the lower level vallys with their waterfalls and rivers. Hopefully get back down soon.

Wales for the first time
We really enjoyed the quiet and the location, also the neighbors (3 cows) were very symphatic. Ideal as a base for walks in the Snowdonia area. Also the shopping and eating possibilities (eg Porthmadog) are not far. Overall a very nice week and very nice hosts.

Hans Christian Anderson Fairy Tale
I think we just stayed in the woodchoppers house from snow white or was it where Goldilocks lay sleeping in the 3 bears cottage. Either way this is straight out of a fairy tale. Maybe a Hans Christian Andersen story.
A little stone cottage, surrounded by woodland with stone steps leading down to it, smoke coming from the chimney.
If you are looking for state of the art, mod cons, sleek & modern - scroll on. This will not be for you.
It's a little worn, it could do with a bathroom update - but none of this matters.
It's clean, it's comfy it's cosy. Nothing matches but it's wonderful.
I didn't enjoy the drive up and down to the cottage,to be honest, but my husband did, giggling with excitement, so I just didn't look.
Come here for relaxation, walks, nature, find your inner adventure and enjoy all things natural at their finest.
Thank you for the de- stress and taking my mind of this chaotic world for a moment.

Totally private/secluded cottage in a former country estate
We stayed for a week in early June, and it was hot outside. The slate cottage though stayed cool with the velux and windows open, providing a cool breeze. Totally private, with the very occasional walkers walking past above. The steps down to the cottage are quite steep, but if you take it steady it isn't a problem, unless you have quite poor mobility. The drive to the cottage through the track is fine if you are a confident driver, if you are nervous you might not enjoy it. The information pack was splendid. Our dog is reactive to other dogs, so a whole week of virtually no dogs to worry about was bliss. Be aware that there is cattle in the estate, so keep your dog on lead when out and about. We even had one Belted Galloway bull get in the garden, which was brilliant. We had to get the owners to entice him out into the pasture.

Great retreat
Just as described. Really liked the way it had been furnished and decorated in keeping with its surroundings. Hardly used the car as so many walks direct from the door. Owners ' instructions very clear and precise. The only thing I struggled with were the very hard mattresses, but that's probably my back's problem rather than a failing of the cottage! Perfect for anyone who wants to get away from it all.

Relaxing location
Lovely secluded cottage in a very rural location. The track up to the cottage is not easy to drive ,and the steps down to the cottage are about 20 in number and steep towards the bottom but this helps to create an even more secluded feel. If you enjoy nature and being in the wilderness then there is a high chance you’ll enjoy this place.
