Splendid Country Cottage Snowdonia

HaoyuRating, 5 stars8 months ago
A lovely cottage in a very quiet environment. Rooms were clean and all things needed were there. When you arrive late at night, it could be a bit difficult to see the stone next to the main road that indicates the entrance to the site. Maybe we could consider adding a picture of that stone which had the name of the hall on it?

Gorgeous large holiday home in heart of Snowdonia

NatalieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Had the pleasure of staying at Harvey’s place at the weekend. We absolutely loved it. Plenty of space for us and our friends. The location is incredible. The house is beautiful with loads of interesting books/pictures. The kitchen is really well equipped. Bedrooms are spacious , bathrooms nice and clean. Harvey was a brilliant host, friendly and informative. Hoping to come back later in the year as 3 nights wasn’t long enough. Highly recommended

Contemporary countryside cottage, close to sea

AnnaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Myself, my partner and our baby have just had our first trip away as a family at the cottage. The pictures don't do it justice - the place is beautiful and in a gorgeous location. Lots of restaurants/walk recommendations and Victoria was lovely and left us some baby toys so our little one was kept entertained whilst in the cottage. Very clean and felt we had everything we needed. Super helpful and friendly host - would definitely return! x

Cefn Mawr, lovely barn in a beautiful location.

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We loved the layout of this place—upstairs living and downstairs sleeping worked perfectly for us. The floors were quite noisy, but thankfully, with toddlers around, most of our group was already used to a little extra noise! If you're comfortable driving up steep roads, this venue is well worth it. It was wonderfully warm inside, so much so that we didn’t even get a chance to use the fire! There are plenty of activities and adventures within a 15 to 30-minute drive, but the on-site games room is a great option for fun as well. While we didn’t get to explore nearby walks, we noticed plenty of people parked close by, suggesting there’s lots to enjoy in the area. The hosts were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and made our stay even more enjoyable. We’d absolutely recommend this place!

A sweet and cosy spot right amid the mountains! Rosalind was very responsive and friendly, and left us a little gift hamper which was extra kind! Would love to stay again.

Your guide to Dolgellau

All About Dolgellau

The small town of Dolgellau lies within the boundaries of Snowdonia National Park in northwest Wales at the foothills of Cadair Idris, the highest mountain in southern Snowdonia. Surrounded by rolling hills and mountain peaks, Dolgellau is a favourite starting point for hiking and biking trips, with numerous trails running through the town, making it easy to explore the wild Welsh countryside and mountainous landscape. Dolgellau is an old market town with narrow roads and tall, dark stone and slate buildings housing local restaurants, cafes, and shops selling everything from clothing and outdoor gear to candy and home decor. The town’s rich history, with some ruins dating from the 12th century, is also worth exploring through its many sites, including Cymer Abbey, St Mary’s Church, and the Dolgellau War Memorial.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Dolgellau

Summers are generally mild in this part of Wales, with warm, comfortable temperatures. Still, mornings may be chilly, so you’ll require a jacket regardless of what time of the year you stay in a holiday cottage in Dolgellau. Winters tend to be wet and cold, so it’s best to pack waterproof clothes and boots if you plan to do any hiking or outdoor activities. Spring through autumn is a popular time for local events. In July, check out the Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau, a summer festival featuring musical performances, comedy shows, and author readings. Spring welcomes the Llanbedr Beer Festival, which showcases popular beer and cider in the nearby town of Barmouth.


Top things to do in Dolgellau

Cymer Abbey

Founded in 1198, Cymer Abbey is a few minutes’ drive north of Dolgellau. Although the original abbey was rather small, a substantial amount of the structure remains, including several tall windows, arches, and a tower. Wander around the stone ruins and get a feel for the history of the area.

Ty Siamas

Located in Eldon Square in a 19th-century former market hall, Ty Siamas is the National Centre for Welsh Folk Music. The museum features interactive exhibits that focus on Welsh culture and music, and includes a neat collection of traditional instruments, such as harps, whistles, and flutes. You’ll also find a cafe, bar, and performance auditorium where musical events take place throughout the year.

Snowdon Mountain Railway

One of the best ways to experience the area’s mountains is to hop on the Snowdon Mountain Railway at Llanberis, a little over an hour north of Dolgellau. The journey takes around two hours and takes you over some of the area’s tallest peaks, with gorgeous views of lakes and rivers. Some visitors choose to climb the mountain to the small railway stations on the peaks and then ride the train back down.
