    “Found the cottage relatively easily with the postcode although bear in mind due to the location it is very dark at night.”

    There is private parking for a few cars but I personally found it difficult reversing back out especially at night. There was no welcome hamper on arrival sadly ( although i did book last minute so maybe this is why) however the lovely Menna came over the first evening to say hello and give a little intro which I appreciated. They live next door and were helpful if needed but also gave us space as needed. They had kindly set the log fire up perfectly for our arrival which was really appreciated ...

    There is private parking for a few cars but I personally found it difficult reversing back out especially at night. There was no welcome hamper on arrival sadly ( although i did book last minute so maybe this is why) however the lovely Menna came over the first evening to say hello and give a little intro which I appreciated. They live next door and were helpful if needed but also gave us space as needed. They had kindly set the log fire up perfectly for our arrival which was really appreciated. The garden is huge, the dog loved it. It is enclosed once you close the gate however a determined dog possibly could escape. My dog loved the garden. There was a note to ask dogs not to go on any furniture or in the bedroom which I do think should be mentioned on Sykes website. As for us its a holiday for the dog also and she enjoys a snuggle on the sofa and can't sleep alone so this would determine whether we book or not. We always cover the furniture with our own throws but this rule just makes it a bit less enjoyable for us all so if this is the rule I would have preferred to know in advance but we made it work. The house is detached which meant it was incredibly peaceful. It is also fairly remote so no noise from outside either. You need a car to stay here as there is not much in walking distance. The nearest major supermarket is a 30 minute round trip so also bear this in mind. The house was exceptionally clean. The decor was possibly a little dated but still very cosy. The living has a floor to ceiling window with the most beautiful views. The dining room is small but seats 6. The kitchen is again basic but has everything you could need. The bathroom is small however the shower over bath was hot and powerful. The main bedroom was plainly decorated but has 2 windows which have beautiful views. Both the main bedroom and twin bedroom are average size neither small nor spacious yet adequate. The 3rd bunk bedroom is very small. The wifi was excellent given the location. Check in is quite late and check out quite early but we made it work. Menna is such a lovely host and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this property and would happily stay again. Thank you for such a lovely stay, we had a great time despite the weather we really enjoyed our time here. Fairbourne, Lywyngwril and Barmouth are all lovely towns very close by which are worth a short drive too. Really not much going on in Arthog so best to take the car and go for a short drive to one of the many lovely towns nearby. The scenery here is just stunning and this is a major plus for staying in this location, simply breathtaking.

The property

This well-presented, detached bungalow stands next to the owner’s home, in an elevated position amongst lovely private grounds, in the village of Arthog.

Set in the Snowdonia National Park, with stunning views across the beautiful Mawddach Estuary, this Arthog holiday cottage sits close to the foothills of Cader Idris and is only one mile from the lovely Cregennan Lakes, which boasts excellent trout fishing.

With the popular beach at Fairbourne under three miles away, this Arthog cottage has been successfully refurbished to create light and modern holiday accommodation and a perfect base for a family getaway in this richly diverse area of Wales.

With the accommodation set entirely over the ground floor, this Arthog cottage has three bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen with a fantastic electric AGA, a bright dining room and a sitting room, which boasts a cosy woodburner and large picture windows where guests are sure to spend hours studying the sublime views.

Outside this Arthog cottage, there is a large lawned garden with a stream and a small pond, and a raised patio, which is perfect for enjoying an alfresco meal in the sun, with sweeping sights across the nearby estuary.

This Arthog cottage enjoys a fantastic location perfect for walkers, mountain bikers, watersports enthusiasts or those simply in search of a peaceful getaway, surrounded by unforgettable scenery.

Just a few minutes’ walk away is the famous Mawddach Estuary Trail, which John Ruskin described as “one of the most sublime views in Europe”.

Fairbourne is with easy reach, with its long sandy beach, golf course and narrow gauge steam railway.

The area is renowned for its fantastic flora and fauna, and for a day trip, why not explore the ancient market town of Dolgellau, the popular resort of Barmouth or the attractive harbour village of Aberdovey?

A lovely Arthog cottage, tucked away in a truly beautiful corner of the Snowdonia National Park.
