Reviews

Quiet location , lovely little cottage , secure garden for the dogs .. everything you need for a relaxing break

Mr M,

I really enjoyed our stay. It was very roomy downstairs and has a lovely cosy feel. The owners had left a fire playing on the telly which was lovely and half a cake on the table (which was lovely). Kitchen was very well equipped, hair dryers in both bedrooms. Strong WiFi. Great location, the Torrent Walk which is only 10 mins away by foot was a lovely walk. Barmouth is a close drive away for a great day out. My family and I really enjoyed it.

Miss S,

Welcoming, warm, cosy and festively dressed for Christmas - we loved it, a perfect retreat in the beautiful Welsh Hills.

Mrs W,

The whole experience was brilliant. The cottage was clean, tidy and it was ridiculously cosy. Outside had enough space for the dog and the setting was so quiet and idyllic. The beach is 20 minutes away and there is a lovely walk around the waterfalls at the top of the road. The town is only 10 minutes away in the car too. I couldn’t find a takeaway to deliver but it was easy enough to collect. I honestly can’t rate this place highly enough and will definitely be booking again. Thank you for a brilliant weekend!

Mr J,

Great little cottage, and perfect for dogs at firework time. Near to Dolgellau for pubs and restaurants and good walks.

Mr S,

Comfy cottage in a beautiful location. Lots of walks nearby and very dog friendly

Mrs L,

Nice location, but needs a bit of TLC.

Miss H,

The cottage was cosy and comfortable with lovely views. I would definitely recommend.

Mrs F,

We have absolutely loved our week here! Cae Merllyn is beautifully decorated and well equipped; the kitchen has everything you need and more, while the open plan living and dining area has worked perfectly for our family! It is in a great location for anyone wanting to explore Snowdonia National Park or visit the local Towns and Valleys. We have enjoyed finding all the local waterfalls, beautiful walks, horse riding, Snowdon, Port Meirion, King Arthur's Labyrinth, Zip World, the beach and more! Thank you for providing us with the perfect holiday cottage! We will definitely be returning in the future!

Mrs C,

Great location, good space within cottage, plenty of towels, the washing machine & tumble drier really useful. The bike storage was strong and secure.

Mr F,

Super cottage. Loved having towels and bedding there. Also the basics, milk in the fridge and some traditional Welsh treats. Garden safe for the dogs, really comfortable and such a treat to have Netflix to watch when we collapsed every evening. A real home from home. Highly recommended.

Mrs D,

Had such a lovely holiday. The cottage is beautiful with everything you want. Ideally located away from busy areas but close enough to all amenities and beach. Lovely views from the cottage. And our dogs loved the enclosed garden and friendly dog

Mrs H,

most restful holiday ever didn't want to go home at end of it could have stayed there forever

Mr S,

Lovely well equipped cottage, beautiful location and surroundings. Peaceful, great for our dogs.

Mr B,

Map

Cae Merllyn holiday cottage in Snowdonia National Park is situated on a working farm in Brithdir, 2 miles from Dolgellau. At the foot of Cader Idris mountain it provides an excellent location to explore Mid and North Wales.

There is a highly commended restaurant less than a mile from this Dolgellau holiday cottage and plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants 2 miles up the road in Dolgellau itself. The cottage offers excellent walking, water sports and mountain biking (Coed-y-Brenin) and is within 20 minutes drive of the sandy beaches at Barmouth and Fairbourne.

Attractions in the area include the Centre for Alternative Technology and Slate Caverns in Corris, the majestic Harlech Castle (World Heritage site) as well as traces of earlier occupation throughout the area, such as hill forts, stone circles and even a Roman amphitheatre.

The nearby Mawddach Estuary is another beautiful and largely unspoilt gem which is well worth a visit, not to mention the Corris Craft Centre, King Arthur's Labyrinth (a great family day out), narrow gauge railways galore and the RSPB Bird Reserve at Penmaenpool.
