An outstanding cottage. We had a wonderful, comfortable stay at Awel Deg. The very generous welcome basket was a thoughtful touch and we made excellent use of the parking permit provided. Fantastic views of the mountains from the panoramic windows and our dog enjoyed people and animal watching from them! We visited many lovely places- Bewts-y-coed, Bedellgelert and our favourite was the beach at Barmouth. The pub 5 mins away was the George the third- fab views and a good meal. The cheap toll bridge across to Barmouth was great. We loved it!
