Priced for 2 (sleeps 4). A two bedroom historic cottage at the foot of Cader Idris mountain, dog-friendly and ideal for walkers.
A freshly renovated Grade II listed house at the foot of Cader Idris mountain in Eryri / Snowdonia, on the Llanfihangel y Pennant Cader Idris Path.
Glan Cader likely dates to the C15 (and the original huge crucks survive), but was modernised and a chimney was added around 1690. It enjoys a wonderful position at the head of a 'no through' road on the way up to Cader Idris - one of the most impressive mountain climbs in Eryri/ Snowdonia.
The house has a large living/dining room on the ground floor, with a kitchen. Upstairs, there is a large principal bedroom, a smaller twin, and a small shower room.
The house is semi-detached, and both belong to the same Welsh owners, Marilyn & Kevin. They use the house next door as their holiday home and are careful to give you privacy when they're resident.
Walk from the house up Cader, along the flat valley floor to Castell-y-Bere, Craig yr Aderyn or just next door to the Mari Jones monument.
