What a spot, lovely location for walks and drive outs, although by the main road you are not aware that it is there. Views from the living area are stunning and tesco deliver there too which is brilliant when you are in tiny old classic cars with no boot space.

A lovely converted barn, with wonderful views. Well equipped with everything you might need and more besides. Plenty of space for off road parking and extremely peaceful, despite Storm Eunice passing through! The only slightly negative comment would be that the Wi-Fi signal was weak. We had a great week and would definitely recommend Awel Deg to friends and family. We would stay here again when next in the area.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Happy to hear the storm didn't disrupt your stay, and that you had a good time on your holiday! We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Thank you for your feedback - we have spoken with the owner regarding the wi-fi at the property, and they have advised the following: 'The wi fi is based on a 4G transmitter and typically hits 12mbs. On seeing this review we have contacted the service provider who have confirmed that during this stay there was a fault on the local transmitter caused by the recent storms. This fault has now been cleared and the wi fi service is back to normal.' The owner has also apologised for the issues you encountered with the wi-fi; had they known, they would have done all they could to have rectified the problem, but we are so glad to hear that you were still able to have a wonderful stay despite this! We look forward to welcoming you back to Awel Deg again soon.

This is a beautifully converted barn with fantastic panoramic views. The location is great with many great walks from the doorstep or a short drive away. Note that the property is middle-terrace and that there is an adjacent building containing two large holiday lets with clear sight lines to the cottage, which isn't shown in the photos. During our stay everything was nicely quiet however. Inside, the cottage is very well equipped, especially the kitchen. One thing that can be improved is the cleanliness. Upstairs everything was clean but the bedrooms downstairs were not very clean, with lots of dust bunnies under the beds and around the wardrobes. There was a plumbing issue during our stay but it was promptly handled by the amazing caretaker Roy. The owners were very accommodating with some requests that we had. We had a relaxing stay and would happily stay here again.

We are glad to hear that the owner was so helpful during your stay, and we very much look forward to welcoming you back to Awel Deg once again!

Nice conversion and location with a few issues. Plenty of amenities to use in the kitchen. Some plumbing issues ie hot and cold reversed in one basin and walk in shower when used has soaked into surrounding wood work floor and skirtings. Floor upstairs seems to have failed too and is very spongey. Both bathroom windows awkward and one would not openSettees not the most comfortable to sit in a log stove would have put the icing on the cake!A little more info on the area would be nice for walks and places to eat. Only looking through guest book towards the end of the stay we found a waterfall area only a few minutes walk away. We also found cafes and pubs by research near by that were good too.

Great location and cottage was well equipped with everything you need - I did purchase a mop and left it there as one was not provided. The views are stunning and every day a different picture. The fact the Mawddach Trail was so close was great. Would be good to have a bike rack or somewhere to leave bikes as we would love to come back with bikes. Would recommend this cottage for a relaxing, quiet, amazing break.

About the Area

If you would like more information on the local area, please call us on 01348 837871 to speak to one of our friendly team.

Awel Deg is located on the south bank of the Mawddach Estuary. This part of southern Snowdonia has a spectacular landscape making it a walkers paradise. Less crowded than the slopes of Snowdon, the mountains in this part of the national park provide a real opportunity to explore the true wilderness of Wales.

From the door

  • The popular walk and cycle path the Mawddach trail is right outside this holiday cottage, join the path and go over to Barmouth via the bridge or into Dolgellau passing and the George III pub at Penmaenpool.

Dolgellau

  • A short 10-minute drive from Arthog will get you into Dolgellau. Steeped in welsh history the town hosts a farmers market and is home to some delightful shops, cafes and pubs. It has retained its traditional market town feel and is a gem in the Snowdonia National Park. TH Roberts is perfect for coffee and cakes; all homemade. Tafarn Y Gader Tapas has great reviews and certainly a place to visit for dinner and wine is Dylanwad Da, a very nice wine bar/coffee bar with the best Welsh Rarebit in wales! I know I've had quite a few.

Crafts and more

  • Corris, another nearby village, has the well known 'Centre for Alternative Technology' as well as a small craft village and 'King Arthurs Labyrinth', an underground tour is certain to capture a child's imagination.

Beaches

  • The popular seaside towns of Aberdyfi and Towyn and Barmouth are a short drive away. All have really long sandy beaches with a good choice of cafes and pubs on the seafronts.
  • The blue flag beach nearby at Fairbourne makes for a great beach day and is especially good for watersports such as windsurfing and sailing. The famous Fairbourne Narrow Gauge Steam Railway still runs daily and you can take the train the headland and then the ferry over to Barmouth in the summer months.
  • Barmouth has all the trappings of a traditional seaside town, there is a bigger range of shops here and some great independents where you can pick up some really great local items. There is of course the harbour and prom complete with a fairground for those looking for a colourful thrill.

Biking at Coed y Brenin

  • Coed Y Brenin is an amazing day out where you'll find six mountain bike trails running alongside rivers and walking trails, there is certainly something for everyone and all abilities.

Walking

  • Closer to home just outside Dolgellau, there are some fabulous walks, The Torrent Walk, (don't forget your camera as its full of surprises) and the two Precipice walks, the old and the new, both equally stunning.

The cottage is located in the foothills of Cadair Idris and Gregennan Lakes, which need little introduction if you're familiar with them already. They are truly outstanding.

Adventure

  • Snowdonia of course is well known for its adventure activities. 20 mins East will bring you to Bala where you can visit the National Whitewater Centre, or Llyn Tegid where there are plenty of watersports you can enjoy including sailing, windsurfing, kayaking etc. If canyoning is more your thing, there are lots of local operators that offer this.

The more world-famous Portmeirion Village, Zip World, and Surf Snowdonia are also within reach.

Talyllyn Railway

  • A thoroughly enjoyable attraction with a small museum and cafe and the worlds first preserved railway! The steam train starts on the coast at Tywyn, meandering through the foothills of Cader Idris to Dolgoch Falls, Abergynolwyn and Nant Gwernol - some of Wales' finest countryside. The train clings to the hillside as it passes through woodland and over ravines, and takes about an hour each way.
