A cosy, well equipped cottage in beautiful countryside.

A cosy, well equipped cottage in beautiful countryside. The welcome pack was much appreciated, showing care and thoughtfulness from the owners. Various birds visited the well placed bird feeder and gave us great pleasure. A woodpecker and a nuthatch were particular favourites.A peaceful, relaxing break.

Bryn Araul is very comfortable, well equipped and in a lovely location.

Bryn Araul is very comfortable, well equipped and in a lovely location. The enclosed garden is perfect for our dogs and the extended land down to the river makes dog walking from the cottage a real pleasure. We have stayed here twice and will return again next year. The cottage is a credit to the friendly owners and one of the very best we have stayed in.

Lovely cottage in rural location, easy to find and has a gated driveway so no parking problems.

Lovely cottage in rural location, easy to find and has a gated driveway so no parking problems. Very quiet road, barely saw another a car! Lovely garden around the whole property just we weren't 100% sure that it would contain our terrier as one side is hedgerow and she would of found the smallest gap! Plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, lovely welcome gifts, particularly the cake and milk in the fridge, log burner was nice and got the lounge nice and cosy unfortunately not the rest of the house and opening doors instantly let all the cold in, heating controls were locked so couldn't change the temperature and on a timer so the house never got fully warm, particularly the rear hallway which was always freezing cold.Beds were not that comfortable but I like a soft bed so that's just my preference, but it meant I didn't sleep well.Overall we had a lovely stay, in a great location for exploring up and down the coast and Dolgellau is a lovely town.1/2 hr to Barmouth perfect for a day out particularly if you have dogs for the beach for them to play on, in the winter.Would definitely stay again if beds, heating and garden issue addressed.
