Brithdir Mawr - a snowdonia that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

The ethos is peace and quiet, wellness and regeneration and the owners, who live next door, have created a space for guests and nature to thrive side by side. Native trees have been planted, marshland preserved, and meadows cultivated. The marshy areas attract frogs, wetland birds such as snipes and heron; dragonflies and butterflies are plentiful; the woodlands are home to various woodland birds such as barn owls, finches and nuthatches. There's a badger set here, and you might even spot a stoat or brown hare. Holistic therapies including massages and reiki are available on site, in the cosy treatment cabin, down in the secluded meadow. Brithdir Mawr guests are also welcome to wander the paths and the fairy-tale solar-lit path, as well as the use of the communal facilities. The same ethos and care is evident in the old farmhouse - oak beams have been cleaned, slate flooring exposed and original floorboards refined. The kitchen and dining/sitting area is modern and functional but retains character through the use of locally sourced and upcycled furniture and furnishings and the bathrooms are fresh and stylish. Welsh woollen blankets and carefully curated pieces of furniture add to the sense of calm and wellbeing. The garden is a perfect suntrap on warmer days but the wood burning stove in the cosy sitting room ensures the farmhouse functions just as well on cold winter evenings. The bedrooms are spacious and both main bedrooms have ensuite facilities. Younger children will love the cabin bed in mum and dad's bedroom, while the day bed in the third bedroom creates a further useful sleeping arrangement.
