Property code: OC-M30050

Enjoy mountain and estuary views from this charming stone cottage in the heart of the national park. Pet friendly, it has a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout that’s perfect for a party of four. Close to Penmaenpool’s historic toll-bridge and friendly inn, it comes with a wood-fired hot tub and fantastic access to the famous Mawddach walking trail.

Book a break in this beautiful holiday home and explore the Mawddach Estuary – one of Eryri’s most remarkable areas – at your leisure. Step inside and the warmest of Welsh welcomes awaits, with exposed stone walls and structural features complementing all the contemporary essentials of home. Cook up a feast in the stylish kitchen/diner then enjoy estuary views as you gather at the dining suite. Afterwards, relocate to the lounge where you can stretch out on your choice of sofa and stream favourite shows on the Smart TV while someone else lights the wood burner for a warm glow and toasty toes. When it’s time to sleep, head upstairs to find two blissful bedrooms. The first is a spacious king-size with a Smart TV and en-suite shower room, and the second is a pretty twin. A sizeable family bathroom completes the comfort for all. The surrounding scenery is stunning in every season. Enjoy it with sundowners on the patio, fire up the BBQ or bask in your wood-fired hot tub. Use the fire pit for additional warmth and marshmallow-toasting, and store bikes or other outdoor gear in the secure shed. There’s private parking for four vehicles too.

The cottage is located on a working farm and is just 500 metres from a friendly inn, so you’ll get a full taste of local life while holidaying here. Romantic Penmaenpool is famed for its beautiful toll-bridge and sits at the head of the 9-mile Mawddach Trail – follow the course of the river as it flows to the sea at Barmouth (7 miles), then reward your effort with an ice-cream and breathtaking views of Cardigan Bay. Less than 3 miles in the other direction, Dolgellau sits in the shadow of Cader Idris and has more listed buildings than any other town in Wales. Visit for a choice of independent cafes, shops and pubs.

The cottage was beautifully appointed. Stephen was a friendly, fantastic host. Really enjoyed the log burner made the living room lovely and warm and comforting. Great location for the Mawddach trail with a short cut from the cottage and the beaches either side of the estuary. Great pub in the village too.

The cottage has everything you want including secure grounds for dogs and is located in a great area for easy access to the beach and local forest. The path to the cycle track through the farm is great. No road walking required.

We had the most fantastic stay at Minffordd. The cottage is perfect, so homely and finished to a really high standard. The location is superb too, so many beautiful walks on the doorstep and Barmouth Beach a short drive away. We will definitely be returning!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the house. It has been refurbished to a very high standard inside and out. It had the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen! It's cosy and comfortable and in a fantastic spot overlooking the Mawdach Trail. It's a short walk or drive to the George III pub which is excellent for both food and drinks. Stephen, the owRead morener, was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. Hide
