Bursting with charm and elegance, this exceptional, detached property boasts its own private indoor heated swimming pool, decked area and landscaped gardens, all of which enjoy the magnificent views overlooking the Cardigan Bay coastline and Cader Idris mountain range. Its semi-isolated position means it lies high above the village of Arthog with mountain and sea views and makes it a truly relaxing holiday retreat.
The area is the gateway to the Snowdonia National Park and has plenty of attractions to suit all ages and tastes nearby. Award-winning beaches surround the area with their clean bathing and golden sands. Golf enthusiasts can try their hand at Fairbourne, approximately 2 miles.
Nearby Dolgellau was subject to several gold rushes in the 1860s, when small amounts were found in the estuary, drawing hopeful prospectors from afar. Although some of the quartz veins did yield an amount of the precious metal, the source was short lived. At Bontddu, a few miles west of Dolgellau, gold extracted from that source was used for both the Queen’s wedding ring, and that of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Today the town comes alive in mid July during the Sesiwn Fawr, when a series of bands and musical activities take place in pubs and open-air stages. For walkers, Dolgellau makes a good base for a number of wonderful walks, including hikes up the magnificent Cader Idris or more gentle ambles along the Mawddach Estuary. Horse riding and train rides along the coast are available locally; not to be missed are the Creggenan Lakes. Other attractions include King Arthur’s Labyrinth in Corris, near Machynlleth, where an underground boat takes visitors into the spectacular caverns under the Braichgoch mountain, accompanied by light and sound effects. The Corris craft centre offers a delight of local crafts, including jewellery, pottery, turned wood, leather goods and candles amongst others. Other places of interest include the Centre for Alternative Technology, the Talyllyn Railway, the unusual Italianate village of Portmeirion and the lively seaside town of Barmouth with its pretty harbour, great beach and seafood. Snowdonia is just under 1 hour away.

27th September/4th October 2025What a lovely holiday home. Beautifully presented just like your own home . It was welcoming , cosy and comfortable and very clean. Beds were really comfortable and the bedding in the main bedroom were beautiful to the touch and to sleep in. Kitchen was absolutely great with everything you could need . There was plenty of space for the six of us , four adults and a three year old and two year old. Its location was lovely high up and wonderful views over country side , the estuary and over to Barmouth. Now the cherry on the cake was having your own private, heated swimming pool that you could use when you wanted. We all used the pool a few times and we all loved it especially the granddaughters who thought it was great fun. The only thing I would say about the pool is that it is quite slippery on the tiles around the pool so it would benefit from nonslip runners . Other than that it was all great. I would also add that it was good being all on one level , no stairs which was a benefit for me. I would definitely recommend it , and would go back again . Thank you for the welcome basket with various items , they were much appreciated, also the vast array of teas , coffee etc was nice to have a choice.

We loved our stay at Treetops. The stand out features were the amazing view and private pool. We enjoyed eating out on the decking looking out towards Barmouth and Mawddach estuary.Leanne was very responsive and helpful through messages. It was a nice touch to receive a generous welcome hamper. There was plenty of crockery and the air fryer was very useful. The bathrooms were modern and looked in new condition. There was a useful supply of boardgames and inflatables which our kids enjoyed.The owner was very flexible and adjusted the dates of our booking to accommodate our availability.The cottage was in a great location for local walks and the beach. We enjoyed part of the Mawddach trail, Rhaeadr Nantcol Waterfalls and Torrent Walk.I'd be happy to recommend and stay again. 🙂
