Little Haven at Graig Wen - Self-catering cottage in Gwynedd
Arthog, Gwynedd
Wales,
Regno Unito
Come for the great outdoors and stunning views: mighty Cadair Idris looms behind you, the wide Mawddach estuary sweeps in front. You’re off the main road in one of four Victorian slate mill cottages, now converted into warm and comfortable holiday homes. Cheerful Sarah greets you and, on request, can order you a wonderful hamper of Welsh food and drink. Families will be happy here with sociable outdoor spaces, bonfires and barbecues in the summer, but couples will enjoy it too – from your large and light sitting room you have a gorgeous view, a comfy sofa, Welsh blankets and calming colours. Cooks will approve of the kitchen – neat as a pin and with all you need. Upstairs are two bedrooms, both with attractive blankets and dreamy views; the bathroom, with proper bath and a power shower, is recently renovated and spotless. A small courtyard garden at the front is a grand spot for a sundowner, Sarah is on hand for any advice, and you really do have a vast playground around you: woods, walks, cycling, watery stuff, castles, mountains and more.

Local points of interest from Sarah Heyworth:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Sarah Heyworth:
- Direct access to exceptionally scenic Mawddach Trail linking seaside Barmouth and historic Dolgellau. Walk or cycle along the flat waterside Mawddach Trail and over the iconic railway viaduct to Barmouth.
- It's hard to miss the owls, house-martins and other birds right outside the door, but there's also 2 RSPB reserves within walking distance. In late spring and summer visit two Osprey breeding centres within 45 minutes drive. Look out for dolphins too!
- There's a safe sandy beach within 7 minutes drive (or 40 minutes along the traffic free bike trail) which is family and dog friendly. You can even go horse-riding on the beach too for fabulous estuary views.
- Cader Idris is a spectacular mountain on the doorstep and far quieter than Yr Wyddfa/ Snowdon which is an hour's drive. Many walks for all abilities close by including the Mawddach Trail as featured on BBC TV's "Railway Walks"
- Harlech Castle, the beautiful Italianate village of Portmeirion, ZipWorld, and 4 steam railways including the famous Ffestiniog Railway are all within 45 minutes drive or less.
- The attractive traditional market town of Dolgellau is just 10 minutes drive, with independent shops, cafes, delis and excellent places to eat out. One of the best chippies in Britain and two Michelin Guide listed restaurants are within a few miles.
