Self-styled "rustic chic" self-catering company Sheepskin - which mainly has properties in Wales but also in the West Country and Peak District - has added Gelli Graean in southern Snowdonia to its collection.
The Grade II listed, 17th-century farmhouse, sleeping up to eight, sits in 15 acres of private woodland and grounds at the foot of the Cadair Idris mountain. Inside are characterful slate-flagged floors and an inglenook fireplace with open log fire with an Aga in the kitchen. Mod cons include a Bang & Olufsen stereo and wi-fi throughout.
For that hotel feel, all Sheepskin properties have fluffy bathrobes, luxurious cotton towels, iPod docking stations, soft cotton sheets, cosy Welsh blankets and faux furs. Nearby lies the market town of Machynlleth and the seaside village and sandy beach at Aberdovey, six miles away.
A week's stay costs £1,653, sheepskinlife.com
