Cwm Glas Bach, Nant Peris is a rustic, detached Welsh stone cottage set beneath the flanks of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). The simple kitchen comes equipped with a cooker, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washing machine, making self-catering straightforward after days spent on the hills. A cosy dining space sits alongside, perfect for sharing hearty meals, while the snug living area, with its exposed beams and wood burner, offers a warm retreat on cooler evenings, complete with TV for lazy nights in.
Heading outside, a grass garden enclosed by dry stone walls leads down to a mountain stream just ten yards away, ideal for cooling tired feet after a day's walking. Two comfortable bedrooms provide restful accommodation, one king-size and one twin, both served by a single shower room with WC. Private parking for three cars sits beside the cottage, a welcome convenience given the narrow approach track, while the nearest neighbours lie some 200 metres away, ensuring a genuine sense of mountain solitude.
Picture evenings beside the crackling wood burner, boots drying by the door after a day spent conquering Snowdon's famous paths. By day, follow mountain streams, scramble over ancient stone walls, or simply breathe in the crisp Eryri air from your own doorstep. As dusk falls, soak tired limbs in the garden stream before retreating indoors, where exposed beams and lamplight create a snug haven far removed from everyday life, ready for tomorrow's adventures among these timeless peaks.
