Finest Retreats | Cader Cottage (Bwthyn y Llwyn Cottage)

Finest Retreats is pleased to bring you Cader Cottage, which is an ideal choice for groups of friends or families to enjoy a relaxing and cosy stay. Its characterful features and outdoor hut tub really help make this cottage stand out and with both the mountains and the town of Dolegallau on the doorstep, guests will not be short of things to do.

Arriving at the cottage, there is ample parking both at the front and at the rear for several cars. The cottage itself is set over three floors and sleeps up to eight guests. The living room and kitchen can be found on the ground floor. On the first-floor can be found two of the bedrooms (one superking, one twin) and a bathroom. Further up the stairs, on the second floor is the master bedroom with en-suite shower room and a second twin room. Both of the superking doubles are zip-link beds which can be split to form twin beds, thus providing the opportunity to sleep eight individual guests in single beds. (Please note the second-floor twin room does not have a door and has a restricted head height).

One of the alcoves of the property has been turned into a small games room with a table football table and darts board - ideal for keeping kids (and adults alike!) entertained.

Dolgellau is a pretty, dark-stoned market town and overlooked by Cader Idris, the legendary ‘Chair of Idris’, which is on the approach to the beautiful Mawddach Estuary. Cader Cottage therefore provides a handy base for exploring all of Snowdonia Mountains and Coast – the Mawddach Trail for example runs along the waterside for 9 miles to Barmouth. Cycling and hiking are very popular locally – Dolgellau is a specially chosen ‘Cycle Breaks’ centre with a fine range of road and off-road routes. The Coed y Brenin Forest Park is nearby, with mountain biking trails for all abilities plus a host of other outdoor attractions and facilities.

Please note that there are building works close-by the property at the Manor House which are scheduled to continue until early 2023.

Great stay at Cader Cottage
Just back from a 3 night stay. We had a fantastic time. The cottage was perfect. Spotlessly clean and in a really good location. Plenty of pubs to choose from in Dolgellau and in a good spot for day trips to Barmouth and Bala. Communication with Finest Retreats was spot on from start to finish.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2024
