Reviews

Well equiped and nicely modern furnished house. Lovely woodburner. Everything is very well maintained. We loved it and felt immediately at home. The owner is a lovely and attentive host.

Mrs Van V,

Amazing cottage, probably the best we have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped and super comfy beds. We will be booking for next year.

Ms W,

This is the 4th time we have stayed at Berthlwyd and once again a wonderful stay. Very clean, very well equipped, and a fantastic location

Mrs M,

Just magical. Superb location, secure garden only neighbours being sheep, birds and the odd squirrel.... peaceful yet easy to get to the local shop. Cottage spotless and had everything we needed. Large well equipped kitchen. Large yet cosy lounge. Spacious and comfortable bedrooms with amazing views. Lots to do nearby such as Snowdonia or the mines but also walking near mountains, woods, streams, and waterfalls. A very nice welcome basket on arrival was much appreciated. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Mrs I,

A lovely spacious property in a fantastic location - close to amenities but in a peaceful setting with stunning views all around. Great for active holidays with a shed for bikes and plenty of space for drying wet gear.

Mrs B,

This delightful cottage set in a tranquil rural location and yet only a 20 minute walk from Dolgellau, was a lovely place to spend our holidays with lots of outdoor space and walks from the door. Would definitely recommend.

Mrs N,

We can’t thank Margaret enough for a wonderful week at Berthlwyd. The cottage is comfortable and cosy with uninterrupted views of the hills in every direction. Fantastic walking and biking opportunities in close proximity and we loved spending time in the garden with only the sheep for company. Would highly recommend.

Mrs Helen B,

Superb location, beautifully equipped, peaceful and quiet. Perfect. A huge thank you to the care and attention to detail shown by the owners to make it a relaxing holiday. We will definitely be back!

Ms Jane M,

We stayed here last year for 2 weeks and returned again this year, it is a fantastic holiday home, everything you need is here and in a great location. We have booked to return again in March.

Mrs Debbie B,

This detached cottage is located within its own large, peaceful garden and enjoys expansive countryside views in all directions, including the stunning Cader Idris range. Only 1 mile away from the market town of Dolgellau in Southern Snowdonia, it is far enough away to offer complete tranquillity and close enough to take full advantage of the town’s many amenities and attractions.

This includes a number of high quality restaurants such as Meirionnydd, Dylanwad Da and Bwyty Mawddach and some nice pubs such as the Unicorn. Dolgellau also has many interesting shops, cafes and an award winning supermarket offering a wide range of Welsh produce. The pretty, charismatic town of Dolgellau also has more than 200 listed buildings – more than any other town in Wales.

The cottage is perfect for walking holidays in Wales with a range of walks starting within a mile of the doorstep, including the Cadair Idris mountain walk, Mawddach Trail (a 9 mile riverside trail all the way to the coast in Barmouth) and Precipice Walk.
