1 Bed Cottage in Brithdir

About this property

Enjoy an off-grid, romantic getaway at this enchanting property. Surrounded by woodland and with stunning mountain views, this beautiful couple’s bolthole boasts all the comfort of home. Explore Dolgellau, Barmouth and the national park, then snuggle up in front of the wood burner and switch off from the outside world. One four-legged pal is welcome too!

Reconnect with nature and one another at this cute, completely off-grid rural retreat. A long driveway leads through the surrounding woodland; pause to admire the view before you step into a characterful ground-floor kitchen that has all the essentials for fuss-free self-catering. A contemporary shower room is conveniently close by. Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/diner is romantic, with a Smart TV, wood burner, a choice of seating and exposed stone walls. At one end, wooden steps lead up to a gallery-style bedroom where a super-king-size bed ensures a good night’s sleep. Step outside and you’ll feel like you’re in a fairytale – three acres of woodland with streams and a Roman bridge are on your doorstep. Watch for wildlife and revel in the mountain views while you chat around the fire pit or enjoy food and drinks beneath starry skies. There’s space to park two cars here, plus handy storage for bikes and paddleboards.

Recharge your batteries with quiet time at home – you may find some mobile signal further down the driveway, but there’s little here to disturb your peace. Enjoy rejuvenating hikes along well-trodden trails such as the Torrent Walk (2 miles), Precipice Walk (5 miles) and Cader Idris (7 miles). Discover Dolgellau (3 miles) – the handsome slate town has more listed buildings than any other town in Wales, plus an appetite-whetting choice of cafes, pubs and restaurants. From here, you can follow the 9-mile Mawddach Trail to Barmouth – breathtaking views of Cardigan Bay and ice-cream await your arrival!
