Reviews

Great cosy little cottage ,fantastic location,everything you could wish for.

Mr E,

This is a delightful, comfortable cottage in a beautiful location (360 degree views of mountains, fields, sheep and cows) yet only a short drive away from Dolgellau. We slept soundly every night and enjoyed the excellent shower pressure and WiFi. A good base for walking in the region too.

Ms S,

Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. We loved our stay and will hopefully return one day

Mr L,

the cottage is situated in a beautiful area with stunning views all around, and a good base for exploring the area, with Dolgellau town and the coast easily accessible. it is well equipped with everything we needed for the holiday.

Mr K,

A stunning cottage and a stunning location. Took Australian guests they were in awe of the beautiful place

Mrs S,

Absolutely stunning location with breathtaking views and walking distance to the town. Dog friendly, warm and comfortable. We had such a wonderful and relaxed week.

Miss W,

Lovely cottage, warm and cosy,in a great location to explore both coast and countryside. Views from the cottage are great, garden lovely and spacious for dogs.pretty secure even for a couple of border terriers! Kitchen well equipped if you want to eat in. Overall pretty perfect for a holiday cottage. Already decided we will return in the near future when hopefully the Welsh weather will be kinder!

Mrs S,

Cosy cottage, beautifully presented, with wonderful views of the stunning location. Well equipped with everything you might need.

Mrs D,

This cottage was such a good find. Lovely setting, well equipped and in a great location to explore the wider area. Truly charming.

Mrs M,

We started visiting winter 2018 & it’s been a pleasure to return year after year. Beautiful property, fantastic location, home from home.

Mrs C,

This property is in a beautiful location with stunning views and very private, plenty of parking space and outdoor furniture, the log burner is always a favourite with our family so had a couple of rainy nights in front of a roaring fire. The only downside to the cottage was the beds! they were very firm and the pillows very flat so really need to be looked at and the pillows replaced.

Mr T,

Lovely cottage, good communication, easy booking process

Miss Lisa S,

Location

This detached Snowdonia holiday cottage is located 1.5 mile south-west of Dolgellau market town, on the lower slopes of mount Cadair Idris. It sits in its own grounds on a rocky knoll with stunning and extensive 360º views. Enclosed by substantial dry stone walling, the surrounding farmland is mainly well kept sheep pasture. It is possible to walk to Dolgellau along a scenic country lane and this pretty town also happens to be home to more than 200 listed buildings - more than any other town in Wales.

There is no shortage of highly recommended restaurants in Dolgellau and the surrounding area either. Amongst the favourites are Y Meirionydd, Gwin Dylanwad Wine, Tafarn y Gader Tapas and The Royal Ship Hotel, all in Dolgellau itself (1.5 miles). Just outside the town you also have Bwyty Mawddach Restaurant (2.5 miles). The Royal Ship and The Unicorn are also recommended in Dolgellau. There are some amazing cafes such as T.H. Roberts and amongst the other amenities there are 3 supermarkets, a local butchers, grocer, bakeries, chemists and 3 banks.

The Dolgellau area of southern Snowdonia offers an extensive range of footpaths and signposted walks to suit all abilities. In addition to the obvious challenge of Cadair Idris, Dolgellau is also the starting point of the Mawddach Trail (walking and cycle route to the beautiful Mawddach Estuary and Barmouth on the coast). Coed y Brenin's world renowned Mountain Biking Centre is also within 10 miles and there are 2 glorious sandy beaches at Fairbourne (10 miles) and Barmouth (12 miles).

Some of the other popular attractions in the area includes Bounce Below (the largest underground trampoline in Europe) and the Zip Wire ride in Blaenau Ffestiniog. You also have the National White Water Rafting Centre near Bala. For something a little more relaxing, you have options such as Harlech Castle’s World Heritage site, the Centre for Alternative Technology, Corris Craft Centre and King Arthur's Labyrinth. Most of Wales’ narrow gauge railways are also located in this area, including Talyllyn narrow gauge railway and the Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog line. If that's not enough, you also have RSPB Reserves and two Osprey Nest viewing hides nearby.
