Llwyniarth is a hillside property in Snowdonia, dating back to the early 1900s. You’ll have gorgeous walking trails from your front door, as well as many climbing and mountain biking opportunities in the area. The pretty town of Dolgellau is 1 mile away, while sandy beaches await you at Fairbourne (8.5 miles) and Barmouth (11.5 miles). It stands on the northern slopes of Cadair Idris, and therefore has spectacular mountain views all around.

The dog-friendly stone farmhouse has been renovated to provide a high quality standard of accommodation.

Reviews

What a fabulous find! It snowed whilst we were there, it was a picture perfect winter wonderland. The area is wild and wonderful, log fire perfect for cozying in, Dolgellau fab bakery, walks to Penmaenpool a must. Overall, one of the best places we have ever stayed in, would love to come back as part of our country we know too little of. Thank you

Mr G,

Great location, very comfortable with stunning views

Mr F,

Fantastic cottage ! It has everything you need, the view is fabulous, the surrounding is so quiet and you can walk from the cottage. We had a perfect week !

Mrs B,

Five of us stayed for a special occasion and loved the house and the surroundings. Very good information beforehand and extremely comfortable and well-equipped, and also a welcome food basket. Once the low cloud had dissipated we had the most wonderful views and walks.

Dr L,

Great place to stay with some amenities just 2 miles away in a small farmers village with several great pubs for food and a proper local butchers as well as an amazing bakery. Views from the house were spectacular and was even better at night and early morning.

Mr S,

A wonderful cottage in an idyllic and remote location. Stunning views and walks from the cottage door, or within 10 minutes drive. The cottage itself was spotless and very well equipped and comfortable for a family holiday. The sky at night here is staggering due the location. We are biased as we love the Dolgellau area, T H Roberts, the Stag inn, craft cooperative etc in Dolgellau and cycle trails nearby. Then return to the cosy fire in Llwyniarth and star gazing.

Mr B,

Fabulous spacious cottage in an amazing peaceful location. Lots of space and the cottage is very well maintained and modern. We spent a lovely Christmas and very much enjoyed our stay.

Mr P,

Stunning location and wonderful house. Total escape with quiet and beautiful views.

Mr P,

Map

There are plenty of interesting shops, great cafes, pubs and restaurants in the picturesque market town of Dolgellau. There are also more listed buildings in Dolgellau than in any other town in Wales - over 200 in fact. For amazing cakes and free wifi, visit T.H.Roberts’ Parliament House, or eat out at Meirionydd and Dylanwad Da. For a quiet drink, Unicorn is a lovely setting. There are also many highly recommended restaurants outside the town, such as Bwyty Mawddach and George III at Penmaenpool.

Mountains and coastal walks are amongst the main local attractions, along with sandy beaches at Barmouth and Fairbourne, the world renowned Coed Y Brenin Mountain Biking Centre and the Go Ape High Wire Course. The Mawddach trail, a 9 mile riverside trail along an old railway line from Dolgellau to Barmouth, is perfect for walking or cycling. Other attractions include the National White Water Rafting Centre near Bala, Harlech Castle’s World Heritage site and Talyllyn narrow gauge railway.

Other great days out from this self catering Dolgellau cottage include King Arthur’s Labyrinth, which is great for families, Corris Slate Caverns and Corris Craft Centre. If that’s not enough, what about something even more adventurous such as the longest zip wire ride in Europe at Bethesda or the world’s largest underground trampoline at Blaenau Ffestiniog for a totally different and unique experience.
