Lovely cottage in Snowdonia, private hot tub, by mountains & award winning beach

Lounge with open fire place and bay window, dining room overlooking the garden, bathroom, modern recently fitted kitchen, master bedroom with king size bed, second bedroom with full size bunk beds. Front and rear gardens, patio area with good views, with outside dining furniture and gas barbecue. Private hot tub (seats 5), with lighting, and massage jets.

The rear garden is enclosed and terraced on two levels, and care must be taken when approaching the edges of the terraces. Distant sea views from the hot tub!

The cottage is in a designated 'Dark Skies' reserve, and the quantity and brightness of stars that can be seen whilst relaxing in the hot tub is amazing.

There are traditional family board games provided, a 1960's record player (and records!), lots of books, as well as free fast Wi-Fi, X-Box & games, family DVDs and TV.

Bryn Heulog is in the hamlet of Friog, right by an award winning beach, with the foothills of Cader Idris and the famous 'Blue Lake' behind it.

The area has fantastic walking and cycling attractions, to suit all abilities and experience. Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park Mountain Bike Centre is close by, as is the family friendly Mawddach Trail, which can include a crossing of the famous Barmouth Bridge, or a stop at the George III by the toll bridge in Penmaenpool for a pub lunch.

You can walk from the front door to the hills behind which reach to the beautiful and dramatic Cregennen Lakes, and further on to Cadair Idris itself, passing lots of local waterfalls, Victorian Slate and Gold Mines, with amazing views over Cardigan Bay.

The beach is a few minutes walk away, and is always quiet. It is sandy, and gently sloping, and perfect for families. There is always lots of opportunity for kite flying, rock-pooling, fishing, kayaking, paddling, swimming, beachcombing, sandcastle making, crabbing, or just lying down in the sun with a good book.

The narrow gauge railway at Fairbourne is a very short walk away, and is one of the famous little trains of Wales. You can catch it to 'The Point' facing Barmouth, and then catch the connecting local ferry across the estuary to get to the Victorian Seaside town. From there you can book a boat for some sea fishing, visit the theatre, the fairground, or one of the many shops and restaurants.

Very quiet and peaceful stay, bungalow was good, needs a bath mat in the bath whilst showering as it was prone to being slippy getting in and out. We did enjoy the hot tub very much, always lovely to come back to early evening.

Beautiful little cottage in Fairbourne, with easy access to all areas. Location was perfect. Place was very dog friendly and plenty of garden for them to roam. Hosts were easy to get hold of and called before hand to explain everything. The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars and should be 4.5 stars from us was the apples all over the garden paths and outside the door and the fact there was no towels supplied. But other than that would definatly return and recommended the cottage and the area to anyone

Perfect location for holiday with our dog. The cottage was very cosy with everything you need, a lovely home from home. The area is very quiet but with the most amazing walks & easy to get around. We spent our days exploring, on the beach & then relaxing in the fabulous hot tub in between showers of heavy rain! Eloise called to run through everything I needed to know a couple of days before & messaged lots of recommendations for places to eat etc which was very helpful. We had a lovely time & would highly recommend to anyone for a peaceful break. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful cottage…Caroline, Mark & Bella xx

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was great as was not too far away from many of the local tourist spots. The hot tub was very much appreciated and enjoyed. Eloise was very helpful. The kitchen was well equipped with all the bits that we needed. Also, the bed was very comfortable which is always a bonus!If I was pushed to find any negatives, I'd have to say there was a lot of pet hair about, but that would be expected in a pet-friendly place (which I love, by the way). Also, one of the baking trays still had food on it, but that was a quick fix. So nothing to really be bothered about.We loved it here very much and we would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay; the house was clean and tidy, always nice to see, and had the all the local amenities we needed (would recommend a visit to Barmouth - Mermaids fish & chips are amazing!). Thank you Eloise for being such a good host.
