About this property

Waen Fechan

Tucked away in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, Waen Fechan is a characterful countryside escape that perfectly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Hidden at the end of a one-mile gravel track through a protected RSPB SSSI oak woodland, this cottage offers peace, privacy, and breathtaking views of Cadair Idris — one of Wales' most dramatic peaks. Waen Fechan welcomes up to 2 well behaved dogs during your stay.



On the ground floor, you'll find an inviting open-plan living and dining area, complete with a log burner for warm evenings in. There is a fully equipped kitchen, providing everything you need for home-cooked meals after a day exploring Snowdonia. Upstairs, the second floor has two double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, W/C, and sink.



Step outside into the garden, where you can gather around the firepit under a sky full of stars. The porch area is perfect for sitting back and soaking up the peace — or enjoying a refreshing moment in the outdoor shower. Waen Fechan also offers private parking and sits within the tranquil grounds of a working farm.



Located just minutes from the charming market town of Dolgellau, Waen Fechan is perfectly positioned to explore some of North Wales' most beautiful attractions — from mountain trails and sandy beaches to lakes and waterfalls. Whether you're venturing outdoors or settling in by the fire, this is a place where you can truly slow down, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and experience the magic of Snowdonia.



This property is the heart of the farm and a true haven for adventure-seekers. With its earthy charm and rustic character, it offers a genuine countryside escape for those who love nature and the simple, rugged beauty of rural life.



Please Note: Access to the cottage is along a steep gravel track featuring a tight hairpin turn. A 4×4 vehicle is essential, particularly in winter conditions, as vans and standard cars will not be able to reach the property.
