more about Gwel y Mynydd
add to favouritesabout the property
One of the finest holiday cottages in Snowdonia, this is a true Welsh mountain holiday cottage for the family near to Dolgellau. Perfect holiday cottage for walkers and those who want a real mountain holiday in Wales!
A traditional Welsh farmhouse, Gwel y Mynydd, is tucked away at the end of its own track and overlooking the beautiful Hermon Valley, at the heart of the world-renowned walking and cycling area of Coed y Brenin Forest Park.
Gwel y Mynydd has been in the same family ever since it was saved from destruction in the 1950s. Now lovingly restored, using reclaimed and sustainable materials, lime plaster, and with many of its older features uncovered, it is a peaceful and unforgettable experience.
The cottage is simple but comfortable with an open fire. At night, with only a few other houses in the valley, you can see stars as you’ve never seen before in a silence broken only by the sound of owls, and the local deer coming down from the forest to graze.
