This cosy cottage adjoins the owner’s farmhouse and is a perfect rural retreat for a couple wanting to explore the gentle highlands of southern Snowdonia. The nearest village, Abergynolwyn (1.5 miles) was originally built to house quarrymen in 1844 and has a cafe and a pub as well as a stop on the Tal-y-llyn narrow gauge railway. A range of shops and restaurants can be found at the Victorian seaside resort of Tywyn (7.5 miles) as well as good public transport connections by train and bus. Discover numerous cycling routes from your doorstep as well as walks: the Dolgoch Falls Walk (2.5 miles) leads to a series of waterfalls cascading down a ravine into a deep pool below; a 12-mile circular walk incorporates the 13th-century castle Castell y Bere and the rocky outcrop of Craig yr Aderyn. The majestic heights of Cadair Idris are 14 miles away.

A utility room on the porch offers coat and boot storage and leads to a farmhouse-style kitchen and dining room with exposed ceiling beams and views of the countryside. The lounge has two reclining sofas, as well as a TV, DVD, and a small library of books to keep you occupied on a rainy day or if you fancy an evening in. The bedroom is on the first floor and has a king-size bed and more amazing countryside views, and there is also a shower room.

A patio area with a picnic table outside the house overlooks a stream and is a lovely spot for a morning coffee or a BBQ on a summer’s day.

Granar Gynolwyn is one of the very best cottages we have ever stayed in; the location in a beautiful valley, right next to Afon Dysinni and near fields full of sheep is just idyllic. The cottage is very well equipped indeed, has the all important wi-fi, and was very warm and cosy for our visit. It was good to meet the owner several times too. LocaRead moretion wise, there is much to see within an hour's drive; if you want the coast then Tywyn and Barmouth are well within a half hour's drive. If you want to go walking, then you can do that straight from the front door. I'm sure we will be back! Hide

This is a beautiful cottage situated in idyllic scenery. The cottage is well maintained and spotlessly clean. Also very well equiped. The owners, are easily contacted if necessary. I have rented holiday cottages for many years and classify this as one of the best.

We had a lovely week. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. The setting is perfect, it was quiet even though there were other people staying nearby and the views are amazing. Lovely to sit outside and take in the surrounding scenery, so peaceful and relaxing.

A beautiful place to get away from it all! A very comfortable cottage, spectacular scenery through every window, our own stream and sitting-out area and lots of places to explore nearby. Countryside, mountains, flat walks, hilly walks, the beach - this part of Wales has it all within a short distance. Although we had the peace and quiet of beingRead more on our own we were near main roads to get out and about during the day. We will definitely be back. Hide
