Bryn Hyfryd

Families and larger groups will find Bryn Hyfryd works well for a shared getaway. The cottage sits on high ground above Dolgellau, with an outlook toward the coast and dunes. It sleeps 10 across four bedrooms—a super kingsize, a double, and two rooms with single beds, one of which includes a bunk. Two bathrooms and a separate toilet mean mornings run smoother with numbers. One dog can stay free; just keep it on a lead in the front garden.

The ground floor holds a living room with an open fire and smart TV, a dining room with an electric woodburner for cooler days, and a kitchen fitted with an induction hob, dishwasher, American fridge-freezer and washing machine. You have everything needed to cook for a crowd. Essentials like bed linen, towels, electricity and wifi are covered. The garden has seating and furniture for eating outside when the weather allows.

Dolgellau sits within Eryri National Park, surrounded by walking country and the mountains. The beach, a pub and a local shop are all within reach on foot. There is private parking for two cars on site. The property is entirely yours for the stay—no sharing with other guests.
