    Stabl Bach is one in a row of characterful cottages in the old stable block of Craflwyn Hall, built at the heart of 200-acre Craflwyn estate in the 1890s. Inside this unique cottage you’ll see the stable’s original layout, with the rooms in a row featuring the wood panelling and cast iron detailing of the horses’ stalls.

    Stabl Bach’s double front door, with an interesting weathervane and antique bell above, opens into the hallway with all rooms here on the ground level. There’s a living and dining room, a kitchen and two bedrooms, one double and one twin, both with en-suite showers. The rooms feel cosy, with rustic furniture and pops of rich colour.

    The cottages back onto woodland, with walks from the doorstep and endless space to run around and explore the surrounding landscape. There are benches at the front of the row, shared with the neighbouring cottages.

    Beddgelert village is less than a mile away, and another short walk leads to Dinas Emrys. This hill is famous as the site of a legendary battle between two dragons, one white and one red, perhaps the best known of the myths that abound in this area. There are many trails to follow in Craflwyn and Beddgelert, passing waterfalls, lakes, wild heath and wooded valleys, and a path leading to Yr Wyddfa's (Snowdon’s) summit from the next village, Nant Gwynant.

    Stabl Bach is next to six other National Trust cottages: Sygun (sleeps two), Dinas Emrys (sleeps two), Aran (sleeps two), Llety Mawr (sleeps six), Yr Hen Swyddfa (sleeps four) and Bwthyn Mai (sleeps three) which are behind Craflwyn Hall (sleeps 16). Larger groups of up to 39 could book multiple cottages.
