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.

Kelly K,

A home from home! Thankyou Marilyn and Kevin for making us so welcome. From a lovely welcome tray of goodies to super comfy beds we found everything we needed. A great base for exploring or staying put. Our 13 year old loved the friendly horses down the road, the clear sky on a starry night and exploring Anglesey, Zip World and horse riding on the beach. Such a memorable visit. You won’t be disappointed.

We had an amazing tranquil sun filled week at this charming cottage. A home from home. Marilyn and Kevin were wonderful hosts giving us a great welcome then leaving us to it. Fabulous high end cottage. Stunning location! We will be back. Graham, Reggie and Teddy.
