Great location with room for improvement

I came for 4 nights over NY with my dog. The place can be tricky to find without using Google Earth and waht3words so I woudl recommend planning before going as the road is fast.The location is amazing with direct access to the Mawddach Trail - a 4.4 mile round trip to the George III pub is well worth it! The garden is enclosed but there is direct access to a waterway.The cottage is well equipped and immaculately clean - absolutely spotless. My only disappointment was the uncomfortable furniture and single beds. There is a lack of investment in the furniture and cohesiveness. The high price point demands a higher quality of kitchen (the fridge, crockery, plates and cups are kept in another room) and there is a charity shop feel to the decor. I appreciate the owners have to work with an old and beautiful building but the decor is incongruous with the setting.

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.
