Summary edit

Gothic revival cottage built by Lord Penrhyn close to the Bethesda slate quarries. Edward Pugh describes it : This cottage is built in the florid Gothic manner, and is one of the prettiest devices that can be conceived. The centre is occupied by a large , the front of it forming a segment of a circle. The chimney -piece is very beautifully ornamented with a marble tablet , on which are carved the portraits of two favourite pugh dogsand a terrier, upon a hard ground made by the pulverizedslate rock, which make a most agreeable contrast. The side wings of the house make handsome stabling, and coach house. Opposite the house is a corresponding bridge over the rough and noisy fall on the Ogwen. .. this little paradise is justly esteemed as such by all travellers… E Pugh, Cambria Depicta 1816, pg105,
