The cottage allows you to relax and take in the sense of space inside and outside in its incredible setting on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. As you enter this historic property you are welcomed into a large hallway, with plenty of storage for coats, shoes, and any outdoor equipment. On the ground floor you are joined by two very comfortable en-suite double bedrooms. One, an elegant master bedroom featuring a snug kingsize bed and en-suite, the other a kingsize or twin room, also including an en-suite. The open plan living area on the first floor has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Mawddach valley and its well-known walking and cycling trail. Here you can rest comfortably and enjoy the view at any time – with a good read or after an adventurous day up Cader Idris, enjoying the beach at Aberdyfi, visiting the historic castle at Harlech, or exploring the traditional local town of Dolgellau.
The property has all that you need - in the well-equipped kitchen, there are plenty of appliances and utensils, and the cottage benefits from high speed fibre internet. Outside the property you will find enclosed, off-road parking, with a space allocated for one car, and additional parking a short walk away from the cottage, on a lane opposite.
From your doorstep you can walk up to Arthog Waterfalls and the stunning Cregennan lakes, along the Mawddach Trail, or over to Barmouth on the railway bridge. Historic steam trains, horseriding, mountain biking and water sports are all in the area, with sandy beaches, mountains, nature reserves, and stunning coastlines right on your doorstep. For some delightful shops, cafes and pubs, Dolgellau, steeped in Welsh history, is a short drive away. The town hosts a farmers’ market and has retained its traditional market town feel - a gem in the Snowdonia National Park. There are plenty of places to enjoy dinner and wine across the town.

Stunning place with great views from picture windows upstairs. Really spacious for 4 people. Lots of walks direct from the door, you really do not need to take the car out. Easy walk into Barmouth. Walks to Cregennan Lakes, Fairbourne, Arthog Waterfallls and the Mawddach trail is right opposite. We would definitely return here and very generous welcome hamper! Thank you so much for making our stay very special....

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful cottage - extremely comfortable and we were well looked after. In fact we have already booked Awel Deg for next year. Set in spectacular Snowdonia and walking distance to the Mawddach Estuary. Diolch yn fawr.

Although the property was very well equipped with many upto date features, as an elderly couple we found the stairs a little difficult to descend, a handrail would be beneficial. Likewise steps outside. Overall a lovely quiet location within reach of some great walks, countryside and the sea.
