Hafod Y Fedw, National Trust

Located on the slopes of Eryri (Snowdon), near Dolgellau, Gwynedd, this charming 17th-century cottage that sleeps four guests with its low beams, narrow staircase and flagstone flooring is as picture perfect as you’d imagine, a world away from the hustle of everyday life. Once you arrive at the National Trust Holidays cottage there are no other buildings in sight, perfect for star gazing on a clear night.

Plastic Free Yr Wyddfa: Plastic Free Yr Wyddfa is an initiative organised by Eryri National Park to protect the mountain’s sustainable future. This cottage, and all National Trust holiday cottages in the national park have been awarded silver status in this plastic-free business programme, and we are making changes to work towards gold status.
