Our family spent a wonderful week at this barn conversion. It was very comfortable and in amazing surroundings. We were blessed with glorious weather which made Cemetery Beach a hit and enjoyed days out on the Talyllyn Railway, at Corris Craft Centre (Labyrinth and Maze a hit with the children) and on local walks. Railway Inn provided good sustenance and a warm vibe. Tiny niggle; no tin opener!!

This was a beautiful, comfortable cottage which was well equipped and provided for all those little things often not thought of. Well located, on the edge of the small village within walking distance to the friendly local pub restaurant and short drive away from Cadair Idris, Aberdyfi and Barmouth beaches and the local town of Dolgellau. Would definitely book again :)
