A stay at Riverside Cottage
We had a lovely week at the cottage, which is set in a beautiful peaceful location with the stream in front and lots of birdsong! The weather was mixed but the cottage has ample hot water and good drying facilities. We enjoyed exploring the mountains and beaches nearby, and visiting both Dolgellau and Barmouth. Highly recommended!

Ideal Tranquil Get-Away
Riverside Cottage is in the most beautiful location with a wonderful walk to the estuary along the river bank. A walk along the tree lined entrance by the river, the trees are amazing! So beautiful and tranquil watching the river run by and looking out for fish! The cottage itself is a real home from home, it has all you need for the perfect stay. Excellent host! We will be back for sure. Thank you so much.

Perfect!
Everything about my stay at the cottage was perfect. I didn’t do much exploring outside as, due to a change of plans, I ended up holidaying alone, but the wider area and the Mawddach Trail offer unrivalled scenes of beauty. The cottage itself was clean and had all of the utilities you’d need for a holiday, and its location next to the water was idyllic. It’s the ideal base for exploring.

A delightful location
The accommodation is comfortable and well presented. Though low-lying the surroundings are interesting with many walks right outside the door. I would be happy to visit again in the early summer period when the natural world would be springing back, rather than in decline.
