Bronhaul Village Retreat

Bronhaul Village Retreat comes with the essentials sorted: electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included, plus there's kindling for the woodburner ready to go. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge-freezer, so you can cook properly rather than relying on takeaways. Upstairs are two double bedrooms; downstairs, a living room with a smart TV and woodburner, a bathroom with bath and shower, and breakfast area.

The cottage sits in Pennal, a village in Gwynedd within Snowdonia National Park. Out the back is an enclosed garden with terrace, gas BBQ and seating. Footpaths from the property lead to the Dyfi River; there's a pub and restaurant within walking distance. The area suits walkers, cyclists and families equally—beaches at Tywyn and Aberdovey are nearby, as is the Talyllyn Narrow Gauge Railway. Parking is available on the road close by. The property is non-smoking.
