Property code: OC-WAH464

This beautiful property, located just 4 miles from the pretty village of Dolgellau, is the perfect bolthole for families looking to stay among the stunning countryside of Snowdonia National Park. Sleeping six across three peaceful bedrooms and with space for up to two dogs, the whole family can enjoy this stunning part of North Wales. Spend hours in the garden on sunny evenings, sizzling up the BBQ and dining alfresco among views of Cadair Idris.

The property, which sits on 35 acres of farmland, is cosy and welcoming. The bright and airy kitchen blends the traditional and contemporary seamlessly, with sleek steel features, slate flooring and wooden units. In the lounge, exposed beams, a stone fireplace and delightful farmhouse-style furniture beckon you to curl up in front of the wood burner after a long day out walking in the hills. Soak aching muscles in the bathroom on the first floor before heading to bed in one of the tranquil bedrooms; each has a tasteful neutral decor to help you drift off to sleep, while the second double room provides wonderful mountain views to wake up to.

Get out and explore the owners’ hill farm, where there are woodland walks and fishing on the River Wnion to keep you busy all day. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (11.5 miles) is ideal for more walks, or going on a family bike ride with mountain bikes hired from Britain’s first purpose-built mountain bike centre. Kids will love the stories told at King Arthur’s Labyrinth while guided tours at Corris Mine Explorers (both 9.5 miles) offer an immersive experience for the whole family. For your seaside fix, head to Barmouth Beach (13.5 miles) where you could try your hand at surfing or bodyboarding if you’re brave enough.

Our third stay at this cottage and one we enjoyed very much. It's cosy and peaceful, shops are a short dive away with good quality roads between Brithdir & Dolgellau. This is important if the weather is poor. The garden was loaded with birds (probably ''cos we kept feeding them) and a working, modern, TV connected to FREESAT meant we could alwaysRead more get a TV signal. Some food stuffs left in the fridge for tea, coffee & toast on arrival was a thoughtful touch . It's so nice to be able to open your windows at night and not being able to hear a thing! We hope to return in the not too distant future. Thank you again :-) Hide

Tyn Gaer is a lovely cottage in a great location for privacy and walking (eg. Torrent Walk, Precipice Walk and Foel Offram) and visiting places like Dolgellau and Bala. Visitors are welcome to wander over the nearby fields which belong to the farm and can also access walks on the Common. The cottage is well equipped and extremely warm and cosy to rRead moreeturn to after a November walk. It also has a good garden with views over the mountains. We would recommend a visit and we look forward to returning. Hide

We enjoyed a three generational family holiday at Tyn Gaer. It was a good base for sightseeing and hiking in this lovely area of Wales. The property is in a quiet rural location away from traffic and our grandchildren had a great time. We hope to return for another stay.

The property was very easy to find. Lovely location. Very clean and the floors were easy to clean. Attractions were all within acceptable driving parameters for us. Beautiful part of the world. Wherever you turn there is a stunning view. My preference to South Wales which is more industrial I guess. We would definately come again for sure. Keep it Read moreup. Hide

The cottage is in a beautiful surrounding and has a warm and friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in through the door. It feels safe and secure and I was able to allow my children to play at the rear of the property without worry. The only thing to improve this property would be to increase the size of the beds to a king size double in the masRead moreter bedroom. We will definitely come and visit again Hide
