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.

Croquet, boules, and garden badminton equipment is there for you to use in the garden, or on the beach.

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.

Really beautifully located cosy cottage with gorgeous big hot tub
Lovely and clean little cottage with open fire. Only 10 mins walk to a beautiful beach and 6 mins walk to train station - then 10 minutes train journey to Barmouth which is a lot quicker than the drive around the estuary. Great location for walks in the hills or on beaches. Host was wonderful - got in touch to explain checking in and recommended local places to visit and eat.

Perfect holiday home
We have had the best week at this holiday home. House was beautiful, clean and spacious with everything needed. Perfect for the dog and really secure, lovely walks on the sea front and mostly dog friendly beaches. The hot tub was divine after walking on the beaches for hours! It’s is a 10 minute walk to the beach in either direction with stunning scenery everywhere. The village of Fairbourne has lots of amenities, the chippy is great and the bar and grill is lovely for a meal. We went on a day trip or two and took the train to Barmouth which was really cheap and lovely. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back! Thank you Eloise for making us feel welcome and looked after.

As advertised lovely cottage in Snowdonia
This was a perfect little getaway, the cottage had everything we needed just remember to take own towels. The owner called us day before to remind us, great communication. Location fab we walked to local train station and then took train and ferry to Barmouth which was a lovely day out. The next day was cloudy so read through the information owner had kindly left and decided to visit the Magic lantern cinema which was great experience. The hot tub was definitely what attracted us to stay here and it was everything we hoped for, lovely garden and when sun out it was just perfect. I would highly recommend this property to anyone you won't be disappointed. Thanks so much would love to visit again

A great stay
We loved our time here. Although the weather wasn’t great, we enjoyed wonderful walks on the beach - particularly crossing the bridge to Barmouth. The hills behind the house are beautiful too, and the whole area is just lovely. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the novelty of having a record player - so much so that we’ve come home and bought one! I left something behind and Eloise kindly offered to post it back to me too. We’d definitely return!
