Finest Retreats | Idris Barn

Idris Barn is a beautiful barn conversion which perfectly mixes the modern with the traditional. The private hot tub and small games room will help ensure guests have a fun and relaxing time away. The barn is perfectly located in the Snowdonia National Park and guests can easily access both the coast and mountains from the property.

Guests will find ample off-road parking for two cars. Walking in to the barn, guests will find the games area with a table football, darts board and piano. All of the living quarters are located on the first floor, up the stairs. There is a separate kitchen which is well-stocked for a self-catering stay and the open plan dining and living area. The master bedroom has its own ensuite shower room and there is a second twin bedroom (with a zip-link bed which can be a superking on request) and a bathroom. From the first floor living quarters, guests can enjoy wonderful views out towards the mountains.

Outside, to the rear of Idris Barn is the hot tub set on the patio with outdoor furniture and is a great place to relax of an evening.

Idris Barn is within walking distance to Dolgellau town centre which provides a good selection of independent craft and gift shops, five pubs and a wine bar, and several restaurants and cafes. There is also a bakery which produces fresh bread and cakes each day. Dolgellau is a designated 'cycle break centre' offering a range of dedicated cycle routes all around the area. The popular Coed y Brenin mountain bike trail is within easy reach.

Please note that Idris Barn sits on the same site as Cader Cottage and The Manor House, the latter of which is currently undergoing renovations expected to last until the end of the year.

Great Starting Off Point to Snowdonia
We did a 3 night stay in this property. The main thing we were disappointed by was that it wasn’t disclosed that a heavy machinery rental business was directly next to the property. There was construction that happened and the house shook. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics. The fridge is very tiny, but the market is right at the end of the drive so it was easy to shop by day. It took us 2 days to figure out the hot water, but once we did our showers were much warmer. The beds were comfortable and warm. We stayed at the end of October and the heat worked perfectly. This is an ideal launching point to Dolgellau and the rest of Snowdonia. The town was a short walk away (as were several trails) so it was nice to have the shops and restaurants near. Within driving distance were so many activities and places. The property company was very responsive.

A spacious house in a good location
A nice well equipt house in a good location and the hot tub was a lovely treat, comfy beds etc . The property would however benefit from a good deep clean and gardens maintained. We had a 4 night stay and no hot water throughout the stay, wasn,t able to connect to wifi to contact the owners
