About this property
19th century Snowdonia Mountain Cottage Peaceful & Tranquil (Pet Friendly)
Rustic, unmodernised and very basic. Myn Mawr is a 19th century traditional Welsh cottage. Very few changes have been made to the cottage since it was built. It’s definitely a complete detox from 21st century life.
Truly beautiful in its simplicity and sense of timelessness but, if you need all mod cons and squeaky clean - then definitely not right for you.
One bedroom, living room, kitchen & bathroom. Garden at the front looking straight onto Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) massif.
The cottage is ancient with thick walls but can get dusty! If you don’t mind a few cobwebs here & there and the very basic furnishings and lack of luxe you’ll be rewarded with a truly unique experience.
In the heart of Snowdonia National Park, an early 19th century unmodernised traditional Welsh cottage. On the Glyder mountain range looking onto Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) massif with uninterrupted 360 degree mountain views. The cottage is in the very heart of a designated Dark Sky Reserve - One of just 12 in the world. On clear nights, it is a paradise for stargazers and astronomers. The perfect detox from modern life. Water source is from the river behind the cottage. Fine for bathing etc with bottled water provided for drinking.

About the host
Hosted by Linda
Originally from London, I moved to Snowdonia in the ‘90’s and love the mountains and lakes and the tranquility of the area. I swim in lakes year-round and have a west highland terrier.
Why they chose this property
The Snowdonia National Park is an incredible place. I have lived in the area for 34 years and I’m still amazed by the beauty! There is truly something for everybody. Fabulous walks and hikes, beautiful lakes to swim, forests, wild goats roaming, the changing seasons on the mountain.
I also love the fact that Snowdon is accessible to everyone because of the train. It’s quirky unique, ancient and utterly tranquil

What makes this property unique
Myn Mawr is a complete detox from 21st century life ~ perfect for people who want a truly authentic & immersive mountain retreat experience ,appreciating its simplicity and complete lack of luxe.
A river runs behind the cottage, a waterfall too. It’s surrounded by mountains and was built from stone hewn from the mountain many many moons ago.
The Cottage was built in the early 19th century and has not been modernised or changed in anyway; therefore, it remains unique. It’s quirky and authentic and has a real sense of Soul.
