This charming stone-built barn conversion is an 18th Century property set idyllically on a National Trust working hill farm. Positioned on the edge of the small village of Ysbyty Ifan, this lovely cottage lies just six miles from the popular town of Betws-y-Coed. There is lots to see and do in the local area, such as walking, cycling, bird watching and visits to Portmeirion and the Brenig and Bala lakes. There is also a wonderful zoo within easy driving distance, as well as the walled city of Chester.

Idyllically set amidst rolling hills and mountains, the small, rural village of Ysbyty Ifan is situated in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. With a small church and village hall, the vast majority of local amenities are provides by the nearby towns of Llandudno and Chester. The area directly surrounding Ysbyty Ifan is full of wildlife and is a great place for bird-watchers to catch a glimpse of the rare Red Kite. Six miles away at the head of the beautiful Conwy Valley is Betws-y-Coed - translated as 'sanctuary in the wood' - which is one of the most popular resort towns in Wales. This area is a haven for walkers and mountain bikers due to the excellent scenery, cascading waterfalls, pretty river pools and ancient bridges.
