Stabl Bach, Craflwyn Hall National Trust

Stabl Bach is one in a row of characterful National Trust Holidays cottages in the old stable block of Craflwyn Hall, built at the heart of 200-acre Craflwyn estate in Eryri (Snowdonai) in the 1890s. Inside this unique cottage you’ll see the stable’s original layout, with the rooms in a row featuring the wood panelling and cast iron detailing of the horses’ stalls.

Stabl Bach’s double front door, with an interesting weathervane and antique bell above, opens into the hallway with all rooms here on the ground level. There’s a living and dining room, a kitchen and two bedrooms, one double and one twin, both with en-suite showers. The rooms feel cosy, with rustic furniture and pops of rich colour.

The cottages back onto woodland, with walks from the doorstep and endless space to run around and explore the surrounding landscape. There are benches at the front of the row, shared with the neighbouring cottages.

The village Beddgelert with cafes, restaurants and cosy pubs is just a mile away.
