A remote, rustic place for a digital detox - wildly romantic and perfect in summer with the doors open. Children can play in safety

If you want tarmac to the door, matching Ikea furniture and an absence of wildlife then this place isn't for you. Adventurous souls will love the drive along narrow roads over cattle grids and through spectacular scenery.

Walk in to find deep window sills for gazing at the Rhinog mountains and swirling ravens, wind-blasted buzzards, sometimes a mountain goat. The sitting room has a fireplace at each end plus interesting paintings, local maps, hefty beams (you'll spot the odd cobweb) and large rugs over ancient tiled floors – not for minimalist fusspots.

Gather round the old farmhouse table in the kitchen, light both fires and bring warm clothing; children will adore the hayloft which has its own extra outside steps. Llanbedr village is five miles down the winding road; the beautiful beaches of Shell Island offer safe swimming.

Guest feedback
"I returned to Nantcol with my grandchildren for the first time since the 1950s. I had such fond memories of this delightful Welsh longhouse that the Grants have lovingly cared for over the past 70 years and it was just as I remembered with some mod cons including a luxury electric Aga in the kitchen. Wonderful beds. I had memories of a caste iron roll top bath-still there but now replaced with an acrylic roll top. The views remain the same and are breathtaking. What a heavenly peaceful place in this topsy turvey world. Thank you Grants for keeping Nantcol so special."
