While the hours away debriefing from your exciting day or planning for the upcoming adventures, before heading outside to the private gravelled area, complete with a raised-level decking and a hot tub where you can soak up the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Alternatively, freshen up in the ground-floor bathroom and head to your chosen bedroom, opting for either a ground-floor king-size, a double or a twin to rest your head in preparation for another day of exciting exploration.

In the morning, take time to uncover the surrounding area and wonders of Wales. The market town of Dolgellau is just a short drive away, home to a selection of independent shops and eateries, as well as the historic Dolgellau Gold Centre.

For a day of fun and adventure, venture to Aberystwyth, brimming with quaint streets, the longest seafront promenade in Wales, a medieval castle and The National Library of Wales. The grand finale of your Welsh adventure should be the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, a beautiful landscape of mountain ranges, hidden valleys, rivers, lakes and waterfalls.

Collfryn Reviews

Lindsey
What a delightful cosy cottage. Nicely decorated and comfortable furniture. The wood burner was lit on arrival which made us feel welcome and the owner brought more logs during our stay which was a lovely gesture, as were the welcome goodies which we thoroughly enjoyed! The kitchen was really well equipped and the first place we have stayed to have an air fryer. We were most impressed. We opted to sleep downstairs as the stairs were a little tricky for us. The mattress does have a decided dip however it wasn't too much of a problem. The hot tub was a big hit especially with that spectacular panoramic view. The house is off the beaten track up a really steep lane but well worth it. All in all we had a great week, apart from the weather and we would book to stay again without hesitation.
The cottage is a real gem and we had a really lovely stay. The location on a hillside with some impressive views and lovely walks and lots of character. Cottage immaculate and with everything we needed including a great kitchen and lovdlybhistoric fire place. Owner very attentive to making sure our stay was a lovely one highly recommended.

Olwen made us feel very welcome, and provided us with additional logs which we were very grateful for! The house is in a gorgeous location, and it was lovely to sit in the hot tub watching the fog roll down the valley! There were a couple of quirks to the property which, whilst they didn't hamper our enjoyment, could be tweaked to ensure that everything was totally perfect! Firstly, the dishwasher door doesn't close easily, and requires a bit of jiggling and strength. Secondly the mattress in the downstairs bedroom has a decided dip in the centre which meant for some close encounters in the middle of the night However, these would not put us off coming again!
Daniel
The cottage was absolutely wonderful and the views were just spectacular. Olwen was a great host and was so helpful giving us tip of things we could do around the the area with our little ones. Our border collie just loved the area around the cottage, she was in her element. I have to admit, it's one of the best equipped kitchens I've ever seen at a holiday let. Wonderful mini break away for our little family and would certainly stay again in the future.
A week spent in stunning landscape and an easy drive to shops and mountains. Plenty of local walking. Lovely host and their hot tub was divine.
Jennifer
This is an attractive property in a very private and idyllic setting. Very quiet and we were blessed with wonderful weather, so spent much time out of doors. Great bird spotting area including buzzards and red kites. The kitchen area was well equipped with a range of pots and pans plus cooking aids. Owners friendly and quick to respond to any questions or problems. Good beaches less than an hour away and excellent food at The Brigands for a night out. Would definitely return.
Richard
Brilliant. But maybe it should say on the description that the approach road is very steep and bendy one member of our party came in a small car that struggled with this. Otherwise, couldn't recommend it more highly IF you want somewhere off the beaten track where nature is your neighbour.
Hayley
What a lovely cottage it had everything you needed and the views were amazing. Would definitely recommend going.
The cottage is in a beautiful location and the owner couldn't have been more welcoming. From this location we were easily able to visit other places and make the most of our holiday. It's a really lovely place and we're hoping to stay at the cottage again in the near future. Sue Rooksbridge, Somerset.
Idyllic situation. Faultlessly clean and comfortable. A lovely welcome from owners. Would certainly recommend to friends and. family. 1010..

Katarzyna
Absolutely lovely place, we will definitely be back for next holiday
The listing does not do this place justice. It is incredible. From the farmhouse, to the location, to the views. And the neighbours sheep and pheasants are not at all intrusive. It may not have all the modcons although it has more than enough, it more than makes up for it in atmosphere. Quaint, quirky and relaxing. We would go back there in a heartbeat.
Cosy, beautifully decorated well maintained in a very pretty location. We had such a peaceful time here. Will deffinatly return too.
Claire

Rebecca
