Bore Da 🌄

Does anyone else agree that these September sunrises are just that extra bit magical?!?

The time of year when the sun is that little bit lower and we can feel the seasons changing.

Happy Sunday ✨️🌿

Bore Da from our Green Room 🌄🌿

A favorite among our family guests, our twin bedroom offers a captivating view of the Dinorwic quarries and the serene green fields and rolling hills.

In spring, this room takes on a special charm as we wake up to the delightful sight of lambs playing in the fields 😍

I chose to paint this room in soothing shades of green, bringing nature indoors and crafting a peaceful retreat that seamlessly connects with the surrounding countryside. Abundant with thriving plants and bathed in natural light, it's the perfect sanctuary for reading, unwinding, or a play area for the little ones to get lost in a world of imagination ✨️

Over the past few weeks, we've had the pleasure of hosting some wonderful families, and we're delighted to hear how much they've cherished this space, just as we do.

There are still a few available dates at the end of September before we return to call this place our home. Why not make the most of the waning days of summer with a visit to Snowdonia?!

Star gazers, get ready 🌠

The best meteor shower of the year, the Perseids, is about to light up the night skies this weekend ✨️💫

Did you know that our cottage is located in a Dark Sky Reserve? According to NASA, we can expect up to 100 meteors streaking across the sky every hour during the Perseids shower, and our guests this week have front-row seats! We have our fingers crossed for clear skies, just for them!

Imagine being under the stunning Milky Way, embraced by the rugged beauty of Snowdonia and the echoes of the historic Dinorwic quarries. While the meteor shower graces us for this weekend only, the enchantment of the starlit skies remains all year round. And you don't have to venture far; our garden, complete with a cosy fire pit, blankets to snuggle under, and candlelit lanterns, is the perfect spot. We even provide marshmallows to toast and hot chocolate!

We have just extended our summer adventures for another month before we head home to the mountains. This means September is now available and open for bookings.

Wishing for the sunshine fairies to return and reminiscing about the sunny days we had this time last year while exploring the beauty of Llanberis and Lake Llyn Padarn with our little adventurer 🧚‍♀️🏞

Llanberis, a true gem nestled in the heart of Snowdonia, is just 5 minutes from our cottage and offers endless family-friendly fun.

From cycling around Lake Llyn Padarn, surrounded by the vibrant summer flowers and the diverse wildlife that calls the area home. To embarking on a vintage steam train ride with Llanberis Lake Railway that chugs its way around the water and is a nostalgic adventure for both the little ones and their adults. To visiting one of the most fascinating attractions, the legendary Sword in the Stone.

History comes alive as you witness the very spot where the noble King Arthur is said to have thrust Excalibur into the stone. It's a captivating tale that will ignite the imagination 🤺💫

With so much to offer and something for everyone to enjoy, we'd love to host your Snowdonia family adventure!

Here's to hoping the Sunshine Fairies grant us warm and sunny days for the rest of the summer holidays! (Wishful thinking)

Early Morning Wild Swims 🏞

Diving into the cold clear water while the rest of the world awakens, these hidden pools become our private sanctuary. Emerging to hot coffee and sun on our faces, what better way to greet the day?!

Among the myriad of enchanting waters in Snowdonia, the Watkin Path pools hold a special place in our hearts for wild swimming. The clarity and serenity of these pools are simply unmatched!

The benefits of cold water therapy are boundless, nourishing both our minds and bodies.

We're curious, where is your favorite wild swim spot in Snowdonia?

We still have some August dates available for your wild swimming adventures and would love to host you!

Our "Street" 😍

It's no surprise that Pen Y Pass has recently been named among the top ten routes in the UK. The stunning views of Snowdon and the surrounding mountains are truly breathtaking.

If the location is high up on your list when looking for a Snowdonia holiday, you couldn't get better than this. Walk Snowdon straight from our front door or take the park and ride that's just a minute walk from the cottage, up the Pass to the start point of the main routes up.

This bird's eye view of the pass in the snow is just a preview of the magical sights you'll experience when staying at our cottage!

Friday Night Feels 🔥🧀🍷

There's nothing quite like a cosy night in, cwtched up in front of the log burner, with a delicious cheese board. Especially after the snow we've had here in Eryri today.

black bomber stealing the show. Teamed with Ben's homemade spiced apple chutney. Made with apples we picked from our friends orchard, just a couple of miles away from the cottage. Yum!

Happy Friday Everyone 🧡

Swipe for the snowy surprise outside of our backdoor this morning ❄️
