Snowdonia ~ 6 - 10 place "Gite Rural"

In France they always ask whether there are “real” mountains in Wales. We have to explain that not only are they “real” but the granite is excellent for rock climbing and the mountains are much older than the Alps.
We have named the smaller Gîte rural “SNOWDONIA”. Nevertheless we hope that you get Alpine rather than Welsh weather!

“Khumbu” 14 beds
“Dauphine" 11 - 13 beds

Snowdonia

Downstairs this Gîte (85 m²) has a large dining/sitting room with a fire-place and a small separate kitchen opening out to a private walled garden. Upstairs are two wood-panelled bedrooms (2 x 3 to 4 beds respectively) with beams in the ceilings.

Upstairs are two large bedrooms with wooden beamed ceilings each with one double bed and three single beds.

Studio

At the back of the Gîte there is a small studio with one double bedroom, a small kitchen area and a shower and basin. This studio can be let together with or independently from Snowdonia.

 

Walled garden

The garden behind the Gîte is large and surrounded by a beautiful stone wall. In one part of the garden are trout tanks, and in another a chicken shack (Do you remember the song by Willie and the Poor Boys? “As fine as wine and really on the ball. No windows no doors, just a hole in the wall.”) Currently there are a real chickens running about.

This whole back garden has huge potential. The walls need roses. The trout tanks could be made into a water course, and the chicken shack into a sauna or outdoor hot-bath. Watch this space!
