We dont usually visit this part of Wales,but once used to our location, became aware of places of local interest. You may need to be ready to drive as this can be a prerequisite. However the Cottage is extremely homely and comfortable and the Owners went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. The wood burner in the front room was a welcomeRead more sight after some invetitably rainy days ! Would easily return for another totally relaxing time. Hide

A cosy place to stay. The location is good and very central to what Snowdonia has to offer. The cottage was very clean and had all the equipment we needed for our week. There is a local pub within walking distance that also does food. The area around Trawsfynnydd Reservoir is worth exploring and there are well marked walking and cycling tracks.
