Toll Bridge Cottage

Finest Retreats are pleased to present Toll Bridge Cottage, a unique, characterful cottage alongside the Mawddach estuary. Stay in the quaint toll keeper's cottage, which oozes old world charm with amazing waterside views.



The bridge was built in 1879 as a replacement for a ferry crossing and the cottage is said to have been added to around the 1900s. The cottage can sleep up to two guests, with a kitchen, dining and lounge nestled around the cosy log burner, perfect for an evening in around the fire. There's also a shower room, and double bedroom with striped wooden walls all around which just adds to the character and charm.



Outside enjoy expansive and uninterrupted views on the terrace – the ideal place to relax, watch the local wildlife and immerse in the breath-taking scenery. And of course, you can also watch the occasional car, bike or group of walkers go by during the day and crossing the historic bridge.



The cottage is well located for visiting guests to explore the stunning scenery of the area. The adjacent cycle track, the Mawddach trail, that used to be the old railway track is perfect for strolls as well as bikes. Two MiRiDER e-bikes are available for hire at the cottage, so if you fancy a ride and to see the sights from a different point of view, then please contact us to book ahead of arrival.



Slightly further afield is the seaside town of Barmouth that includes stunning sandy beaches, and the traditional market town of Dolgellau offering a range of artisan shops and weekly farmers market is only two miles away. The foothills of the majestic Cadir and Idris are on the near horizon tempting you to explore their magnificence and beauty, and the beast that is Snowdonia is just a short drive away.



Logs for the woodburner are not included, but you can pre-order logs at time of booking @ £6 per bag (which includes kindling and fire lighters), or they can be purchased directly from the toll keepers.



For more information and bookings please contact Finest Retreats.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace and an electric kettle. Limited housekeeping is available.

Unique cottage in a great location

Beautiful setting with stunning views and lovely cozy and well equipped cottage. Just right for 2 people. Friendly toll keepers with lots of useful local knowledge. Easy access to superb walking and a nearby pub. Loved the extra little touches such as the mini Christmas tree and lights as our stay was mid December. A bit disappointed with the shower which was very weak. Otherwise everything was perfect

Penmaenpool Bridge Cottage.

The quirkiness and position of the cottage. Welcome Welsh cakes and fruit cake and tea coffee. Views and friendliness of toll bridge staff. Removing cobwebs around the ceilings. More guidance on where the key safe and car parking was located, binning waste and use of decking. Better response time on WhatsApp. Correct WiFi details and bridge opening times,

Location was excellent, lovely little place to stay.

Pub was within walking distance of the property and food was wonderful and staff were very friendly. Cottage is a wonderful base for walking and we were incredibly lucky with the weather. Toll bridge staff are amazing and so helpful and knowledgeable. Parking could be an issue at times but other than that, everything was great

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting.

Beautiful setting. Good amenities It is what it is, but it's a shame that it isn't a little larger, consequently it's a little expensive for its size. Furnishings could be more cosy and comfortable.
