Access Statement

This is a terraced cottage with access to the small front garden directly off the road. There is no pavement. Parking is outside the garden gate, or within 100m. The back garden consists mostly of a paved patio. The front door opens into the living room, which in turn opens into the kitchen by a door-way which is low, & has two steps. The staircase is steep and narrow with a hand rail on the left hand side. The bedroom and small shower room are to the left at the top of the stairs. Walls are light coloured throughout, with contrasting doors and lighting is good. Outside, at the back there are six steps of varying sizes, with a hand rail to the left, leading up to the patio. The cottage is probably not suitable for the infirm, or severely visually impaired, but every effort has been made to render it suitable for sufferers from asthma or allergies. There is non-allergenic bedding, and there have been no animals in the property since its complete refurbishment in 1996.

Gellfechan is a good value, simple, traditional stone terraced cottage in the village of Trawsfynydd in the Snowdonia National Park. The village has a local shop, newsagent, plenty of local buses, and the nearby Trawsfynydd lake is popular for fishing, cycling and walking. There is also a lakeside café. This is a short drive from the Coed- y- Brenin forest for fabulous mountain biking, trail running, orienteering, children’s nature walks and play area. 10 miles to Dolgellau and Blaenau Ffestiniog and 12 miles to Porthmadog.

'There's a good cafe at the Coed-y-Brenin visitor centre which is open all year round. There's always something that can be done here whatever the weather as the forest is nice and sheltered!

Reviews

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.

Mr H,

Thank you for the lovely welcome to your cottage. We have had a lovely time exploring the local area and enjoyed sitting in front of the fire in the evening.

Past Customer,

Thank you for a wonderful stay in this beautiful little cottage. We originally came here 3 years ago on our first holiday together and loved it so much we had to come back!

Past Customer,

Your welcome gift was much appreciated. Everything we needed for the week, a good base for exploring. A week was not enough, many thanks.

Past Customer,

Thank you for the lovely welcome, flowers, milk and sponge. We've really enjoyed the time in North Wales including the very hot weather.
