Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Children can explore the surrounding farmland and watch sheep grazing in neighbouring fields. The rural location offers space to run around outdoors with mountain views all around. Inside, the open-plan living area gives families room to spread out. However, the working farm setting requires supervision and the barn's traditional features like the wood burner need care with young children.
Groups Will Love...
The exposed oak beams and vaulted ceiling form the barn's most striking feature. These original structural timbers cross overhead throughout the open-plan living space, showcasing the building's agricultural past. Combined with thick stone walls, they create an authentic Welsh barn atmosphere. The beams frame the mountain views through the windows whilst the ceiling height adds a sense of space and light to the converted interior.
Pet Friendly
Yes, Ysgubor Las welcomes dogs. The rural farmland setting provides excellent walking opportunities straight from the barn door. Footpaths lead across fields and up into the Snowdonia mountains within minutes. The stone floors and barn construction suit muddy paws after countryside walks. Nearby Cader Idris and the Mawddach Trail offer longer routes. Just remember this is working farmland with livestock nearby.
