Location
Cae Merllyn holiday cottage in Snowdonia National Park is situated on a working farm in Brithdir, 2 miles from Dolgellau. At the foot of Cader Idris mountain it provides an excellent location to explore Mid and North Wales.
There is a highly commended restaurant less than a mile from this Dolgellau holiday cottage and plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants 2 miles up the road in Dolgellau itself. The cottage offers excellent walking, water sports and mountain biking (Coed-y-Brenin) and is within 20 minutes drive of the sandy beaches at Barmouth and Fairbourne.
Attractions in the area include the Centre for Alternative Technology and Slate Caverns in Corris, the majestic Harlech Castle (World Heritage site) as well as traces of earlier occupation throughout the area, such as hill forts, stone circles and even a Roman amphitheatre.
The nearby Mawddach Estuary is another beautiful and largely unspoilt gem which is well worth a visit, not to mention the Corris Craft Centre, King Arthur's Labyrinth (a great family day out), narrow gauge railways galore and the RSPB Bird Reserve at Penmaenpool.
