Dorothea Cottage Snowdonia, with mountain views.

Dorothea Cottage offers Victorian features, modern styling, a cosy, log-burning stove, and stunning mountain views.

Nantlle village is located inside Eryri National Park with Snowdon Basecamp at Rhyd Ddu being just 5 MILES away!! Awarded UNESCO World Heritage status for its dramatic slate landscapes, Nantlle is a winning destination for walkers, cyclists, divers, sight seers, and anyone with a love of the great outdoors. We are dog friendly and welcome one small/ medium-sized breed FOC.
The space
The cottage has been created as a super comfortable base for exploring Snowdonia.

Located next to the historic Dorothea Quarry and Lakes, there are walks literally on your doorstep into Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Snowdon Base Camp at Rhyd Ddu is just 5.3 miles, making it the perfect location for those wanting to explore the iconic mountain. There are walking and cycling routes starting from the cottage, with swimming and diving in the Nantlle and Dorothea lakes.

The cottage sleeps up to 3 adults or a family of 4 people (children 4-yrs +) and a trained, small to medium-sized dog. We have renovated and equipped the cottage to a very high standard, with super-efficient heating and a log burner to make nights in during the cold winter season a treat, plus super fast broadband to keep you connected (if you wish).

It has a large comfortable lounge with tons of period features, including a huge stone inglenook fireplace with a log burner. We have included an HD Smart TV with blue tooth speaker ability and access to Netflix, Amazon Movies and apps for BBC, ITV, CH4 and CH5.

Adjacent to the living room is the big bright kitchen/dining/utility area, leading onto the rear gardens and the shower room. This space is equipped with all you need to cook and dine in style.

The luxury shower room is also on the ground floor with a large Hans Grohe rain shower and stylish modern bathroom suite.

On the first floor, we have a big master bedroom including a king-size oak bed, plus a super comfy twin room with adult-sized bunk beds, which have proved to be the favourite sleeping spot of our guests.

We have outside spaces front and back, with a lovely landscaped and tiered back garden with views over the cottage towards the Nantlle Ridge. The rear garden also has direct access to walks, including the Snowdonia National Parks Slate Trail and Pilgrims Way.
