Is an old Quarry Worker Cottage and has plenty of charm and has been renovated to a fantastic degree of comfort and quality. The kitchen is a wonderful use of space. The Bathroom has also been finished to a high standard. The location is amazing. With a short walk up the hill you experience splendid view of Fairbourne. Barmouth and behind. The night sky quality is amazing and we were fortunate to capture the Milky Way and a number of Shutting Stars. For those who are looking for a peaceful quite spot it is ideal. For those who want to enjoy a walking holiday with a level of easy challenge but rewarded with some spectacular view of both the coast and the mountains you will not be disappointed. I would recommend if you are into exploring or dog walking you give this property every consideration. For those who enjoy bird watching again it is ideal with Red Kits Buzzards and plenty of smaller birds in the local area.

The cottage is cosy and in a beautiful and peaceful setting with lovely walks from the door. It's worth noting that there weren't books and games suitable for the children in the cottage, as we've found elsewhere but we had brought our own. We walked down to the wonderful beach every day - great for sandcastles, body boarding, shell hunting and running around at low tide! We found everything we needed in the shops in Fairbourne and enjoyed days out at the Centre for Alternative Technology and Dolgoch Falls, plus a wander around Dolgellau and a walk to Barmouth, catching the train back. We hadn't been to this part of Wales before and feel sure we'll be booking another stay. Thank you!
