A small slice of luxury in Snowdonia

I get the feeling that 'stay-cations' are something we're all going to be doing for many months to come, so if you need some inspiration for a UK trip, then how about this for an idea - luxury boutique accommodation in Wales. 

Ffynnon (which means spring or well in Welsh) is a chic guest-house located in Dolgellau in the Snowdonia National Park. Converted from a Gothic Victorian rectory, there are six individually designed rooms that are in keeping with the property, while also managing to be contemporary. 

The rooms are all different styles, shapes and sizes. I stayed in a beautiful, spacious oriental style room called Annis. It had a beautiful high ceiling; all the mod-cons that you'd expect, and beautiful views.

The bedding is of fabulous quality, and the best bit was the peace and quiet - I slept so well here! The bathrooms have big windows, luxurious bath products and come with waffle bathrobes. 

Breakfast is served in a lovely dining room - and they don't hold back. You make your choices the night before, and if you're planning a day full of walking and exploring, I guarantee it will really set you up for the day! 

Dolgellau itself is a fabulous little place. It's a really unspoilt market town, and the accommodation is only a four minute walk to the centre of town where you're spoilt for choice in terms of eating and drinking. I'd highly recommend the Royal Ship Hotel for drinks or posh pub grub. For something more special, we had a fabulous meal at Y Meirionnydd. It's a small place, so I'd advise you to book your meals in advance.

 

You're not only close to the mountains here, but are also a short drive away from beautiful sandy beaches so there are plenty of wonderful places to explore. Ffynnon is a wonderful place to get away from it all for a few days and, being located on the aptly named 'Love Lane', it's the perfect place for a romantic get-away.
