There is a lovely open plan living area with a separate bedroom and shower room, whilst a staircase leads up to a roof terrace, great for relaxing on with a glass of wine. You can stroll along the sandy beach or wander along to one of the many cafés and pubs in town. Take a walk or a bike over the famous Barmouth Bridge and explore the Mawddach Trail, a level route which follows the trackbed of the old railway line to Dolgellau. From Barmouth, you can also hop on board a train on the Cambrian Coast line between Machynlleth and Pwllheli for one of the most spectacular coastal railway journeys in the UK, or catch a ferry over the mouth of the river and take a trip on a little steam train on the Fairbourne Railway.
To the north, the sandy beaches stretch for miles, and at Harlech you will find the mighty castle built by Edward I (a unesco World Heritage Site) brooding over the little town. A little further on at Blaenau Ffestiniog, you can experience Europe’s largest zip wire zone as you fly over an old slate quarry at Zip World Titan, or try a spot of underground trampolining in a slate cavern at Bounce Below – great fun! The mountains of the Snowdonia National Park are just waiting to be explored, and you can be in the hills within a few minutes. Take time out to visit some of the local towns and villages too. Dolgellau with its range of individual shops, Penmaenpool and its delightful toll bridge, Llwyngwril with an annual yarnbombing festival, and Tywyn, home to the famous Talyllyn Railway. Beach 200 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 100 yards.

The cottage is ideally situated for the beach and the local town. However, there was a definite doggy smell especially in the bedroom which was disappointing. The kitchen also lacked a few basic items such as only having 1 saucepan and no baking trays for the oven. This is a drawback for us as we like to cook for ourselves rather than eating out all of the time.

An absolute gem of a find, a credit to the owner and to Cottages.com. Literally a home from home inside. Everything well thought out to make your stay a very comfortable one, with lots of nice extras, (books, games etc.), and seaside touches. The location was excellent for the town, beach, bridge and many lovely walks. I didn't leave Barmouth for the entire week, just relaxed and enjoyed the surroundings. Free parking just a few minutes away. Having a dog that struggles with close proximity to other dogs, the rooftop terrace was a Godsend as we could sit out and enjoy the sunshine stress free. I can see why Y Gweithdy consistently gets great reviews and has won Customer Choice awards. I'll recommend to friends and family and will be back myself. Many thanks!
