Fantastic location away from it all with fine views. Lovely, roomy cottage.

Neville Clay - 22nd June 2018

Well there's clean and then there's clean. Bed still smelt the previous persons smelly feet. The range cooker was filthy the fridge freezer rusty, microwave disgusting. Built in fridge didn't even use as the smell, like something had died!! The patio chairs were covered in algae, not as in the websites photos, which need updating. I should think it would be standard practice for Quality Cottages to carry out regular checks on all the cottages on their website, QUALITY clearly is not the appropriate wording required.

Dear Gethin & Clare, Thank you so much for your kind hospitality in your adorable cottage, which is a real home from home. We've had a wonderful week full of walks, railways and food! Recommendations for other visitors would be. Torrent walk & Precipice walk. Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog to Caernarfon. Talyllyn Railway. We enjoyed the food at the Ship Inn Dolgellau, Cross Foxes and Tyn y Cornel Hotel at Tal y Llyn.

Very, very happy having been here for 2 weeks. We enjoyed slowing down just in the garden and around the house and exploring the local area. Lovely surroundings with walks and magnificent vistas onto the mountains. Spent many late afternoons at the beach in Barmouth. We will come back one day. Thank you.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location. We had a wonderful week with only one wet day. Walked the mountains and Cader Idris. We relaxed on the beach at Barmouth and swam in the river. Thank you for the welcoming scones, bread and milk. We've had the best holiday in years.

About the Area

Mawddach Estuary & Cadair Idris

  • The countryside here is simply sublime - walk from the cottage into another world. The old drovers' road takes you along the ridge overlooking the fjord like Mawddach Estuary with views down to the sea and across to Cadair Idris (one of Wales' most beautiful mountains) - featured recently on BBC Countryfile.
  • The drovers' road, once the coaching road to Barmouth, has ruins of old hostelries where travellers stopped to rest and even the remains of an old jail where marauding bandits were locked up!
  • The Mawddach Estuary is skirted by the old railway track which is now a popular walking and cycle path - refreshments at the George III Hotel overlooking the estuary are recommended.

  • Fairbourne has a 2 mile stretch of safe golden sands with rock pools at either end. The Fairbourne & Barmouth Steam Railway runs through the village and along the sea front - the terminus is next to the main line railway station - catch a train to Penryhyn Point, take the ferry across to Barmouth and return on foot across the Barmouth Bridge (or by British Rail!)

Portmeirion

Cyril Jones' Antiques, Dolgellau

Days away
