Bryn Hyfryd

About this property

Our beautiful cottage Bryn Hyfryd is perfect for families and couples, with sensational views of the River Mawddach and direct access to the Mawddach Trail at the bottom of the garden.

Our luxuriously appointed but homely self-catering bungalow accommodates up to six people in three bedrooms and is spacious both indoors and outside. Cooking is a pleasure in our well appointed kitchen with quality appliances and our bathroom is pure luxury with separate rainfall shower and bath. When evenings are chilly stoke up the lovely log burner and curl up in comfort on the large sofa. We have a large, dry and secure bike store and a dedicated EV charger for our guests exclusive use.

Situated in Penmaenpool, just two miles from the lovely town of Dolgellau and 5 miles from the beautiful Cambrian coast and Barmouth. We are within easy reach of Cader Idris, Coed-y-Brenin, Harlech and beautiful beaches. Bryn Hyfryd is perfect for your family holiday in the Snowdonia National Park, whatever time of year!

Bryn Hyfryd is a lovely property in a spectacular location. The self-catering cottage is luxuriously appointed and offers one level, spacious living accommodation, sleeping up to six people in three bedrooms with everything you could want catered for. The cottage is just a few minutes walk from the famous Mawddach Trail that stretches between Barmouth and Dolgellau. It's perfect for active families who want to be in reach of footpaths, mountain bike trails and beaches, all against the beautiful backdrop of Cader Idris and just a few minutes walk of the George III pub. The views of mountains and estuary from the lounge, main bedroom and glass fronted decking are stunning and a great place to just sit and unwind, or dine Al Fresco.

Bring your bike when you stay at Bryn Hyfryd, its a cyclists heaven, and we have a secure dry store for our guests use, or there are excellent local businesses where you can hire a bike. The Mawddach trail is a cyclists must do and combined with a lunch in Dolgellau or Barmouth makes a great day out. Coed-y-Brenin has something for the whole family from purpose-built mountain bike trails to a cafe and an adventure play area.

If walking is more your pace, lace up your boots and head off on miles of footpaths that wind their way up hills right from the door, around the coast and through the unforgettable landscape of the Snowdonia National Park. There are walks for all abilities from the estuary hugging Mawddach Trail, which passes the house at the bottom of the garden, to majestic peaks like Cader Idris, and everything inbetween! Other ways to be active and have fun include stand-up paddleboarding (hire equipment in Barmouth) or swimming or surfing at beaches like Harlech, Tal y Bont, Aberdovey and Fairbourne, to name a few. There are also golf courses and pony trekking nearby.

Dolgellau is a few minutes drive or an easy bike ride from the cottage, with an excellent choice of places to eat and drink as well as a variety of independent shops and a regular market every Thursday. Barmouth, just 5 miles away has a range of traditional seaside attractions, and you can't miss seeing Harlech Castle, which is part of a unesco World Heritage Site.

Bryn Hyfryd's beautiful location and high standard of accommodation make it ideal for a holiday in any season. There are fantastic sights, breathtaking beauty spots, fascinating historical buildings and friendly towns and villages where you will find everything you need for a relaxed and enjoyable self-catering holiday.
