  • "Just returned from a wonderful week at Arthur’s Cottage."

    The cottage is perfect for a relaxing break and feels welcoming and homely as soon as you walk through the door. It is decorated to a high standard with comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. The two gardens are secure for pets and have stunning views. We went on the Talyllyn Railway which was great and a step back in time. You could catch a glimpse of the train from the back garden and hear its toots! We also visited Tywyn one evening to take a beautiful sunset photo. Tyn y Cornel is a good place for a drink by the lake. Gorgeous setting and we were treated to a RAF fly past! Would definitely like to return one day and would recommend this cottage.

  • "Beautiful Cottage in the perfect location."

    The front and back gardens are fully enclosed for dog to run free. The sun shines in both front and back from sunrise to sunset. You can walk from the cottage for 10 minutes up the hill and be at a mountain waterfall. The Cafe opposite is open for breakfast from 0900 to 1400 Tuesday to Friday and 1000 to 1500 on Saturdays and Sundays. I recommend the full breakfast (they even cater for dogs, Buddy loved his morning sausage.) Ample parking for 2 cars with overflow parking in the free carpark opposite the Cottage. We Like it so much that we have booked for next year already !

    Thank you so much for the positive comments and we look forward to welcoming you back next year. Property Owner

  • "Excellent & comfortable cottage with lovely outside space front & rear, both of which were dog-friendly."

    Abergynolwyn falls are right on the doorstep, the blue walk (about 6k) is well worth doing although might be a bit muddy if it has been raining recently. Shame the pub was closed (again) but the Ty'n y Cornel hotel on the Tal-y-llyn isn't too far and has lovely lake views.

    Thank you so much for those wonderful comments about the cottage. It is very sad that unfortunately the pub remains closed but hopefully it will be taken on by someone in the not to distant future. Property Owner

  • "Arthur's Cottage was superb, immaculately clean and with well thought out facilities."

    The location is perfect for both the coast and Snowdonia National Park and the re-opening of the village pub and cafe gives you the option of eating out without having to drive. It would be difficult to find a better appointed cottage within the region and we would recommend it to couples and families.

  • "We book a cottage every year and Arthur's Cottage is the best one we have ever been to."

    We honestly cannot recommend it enough, it far exceeded our expectations. It is cosy, comfortable, has excellent facilities, has lovely character and a very pretty enclosed garden that was very safe for our furbabies and with spectacular views front and back. We couldn't believe how close all the beautiful walks are.. spectacular waterfall woodland walks just 5 minutes walk up lane from back gate, and a beautiful mountain walk just over 5 minutes from front gate down far side of play park. Short drives to Tywyn, Aberdyfi, and castell y bere which we loved, and many other magical places. We highly recommend booking Arthur's Cottage, you definitely won't be disappointed. Very good communication off the lovely owners too.

    The cottage has been recently renovated to a very high standard, is very well equipped and comfortable and we were able to use the outside space as the weather was kind to us. Contact with the owners was prompt and friendly, they let us know by text when the cottage was ready for us. Sadly, the pub and cafe in the village are both closed at the moment, perhaps casualties of the lock downs.

The property

Arthur’s Cottage holds a lot of history and personality, named after one of the previous owners who had a positive presence in the village of Abergynolwyn for his charisma and character much like ‘Doc’ from Back to the Future, this cottage is a real hit with the locals who will be happy to tell tales of the much-loved man.

A beautiful stone-built, semi-detached property, it’s a wonderful place for small families or friends to unwind in the idyllic settings of Wales.

Walk down the stone path of the front garden, a precious space directly opposite rolling hills, be sure to stop here with your morning coffee the next day to take in the breath-taking scenes.

As soon as you enter the property you will step into the lounge, a plush and simplistic area, offering you a marvellous woodburning stove against exposed stone and slate, it intertwines modern and traditional interior to give the cottage even more character than it already holds through its previous history.

There is a twin bedroom on the ground floor, with two single beds, it’s ideal for kids or even friends to get a restful sleep without the hassle of top and tale.

Head down the corridor to the shower room, perfect after a rainy walk with the dogs where you can hang your coat on the heated towel rail outside the room to avoid any mucky pawprints.

Climbing up the tasteful tartan staircase, you will find a glorious master bedroom in the style of a mezzanine, with a daring but delightful slate wall above the bed, it’s a great room for couples, with views overlooking stunning scenery and a small seating area next to the window for you to enjoy a morning snack, it’s a lovely room to help you unwind before the adventure really begins.

If you are looking for places to eat directly opposite the cottage you will find Y Caffi which serves breakfast, main meals and a selection of cakes plus hot and cold beverages.

It opens 09:00 till 15:00 every day (09:00 till 15:00 Wednesday to Sunday from September to March and closed all of January ).

Not far from the village you will also find the Talyllyn railway cafe which also serves hot and cold beverages, soups, sandwiches and mouth-watering cakes and tempting treats, dogs are also welcome in both cafes. A five minute drive away is the Gwesty Tynycornel Hotel which is located on the banks of the beautiful Talyllyn Lake.

The restaurant offers lunch,afternoon tea,evening and Sunday lunch menus.

A ten minute drive is the seaside town of Tywyn, which boasts several cafes,pubs and restaurants along with a local supermarket and petrol station.

Surrounded by plentiful tourist attractions, you’re in for an action-packed holiday in close proximity to the historic narrow-gauge Talyllyn Railway, King Arthur’s Labyrinth, and Corris Mine Explorers, the local area hosts an array of activities that are fun for all the family.

Next stop is Aberdovey, where you will find an excellent golf course with sea views for those who have brought their clubs, as well as a fantastic beach, where you can beachcombe the shores, build sandcastles with the little ones, or treat the family to fresh fish and chips after a delightful swim.

For more beach action, head to Aberystwyth which has a beautiful beach where you can soak up the sun with your favourite book, as well as the Aberystwyth Castle Grounds where you can explore the once remarkable 13th-century castle and the Vale of Rheidol Railway, where you can hop aboard an old-style steam train and settle down in first class carriage for a tour through the rolling hills and woodlands.

Be sure to venture further afield into the lands of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, where you can find even more stunning scenery as well as things to do dotted around every village including the Dyffryn Ardudwy Burial Chamber and the ruins of Cymer Abbey, there’s plenty of history to explore in this bustling area of Wales.

About the location

TYWYN

Aberdovey 4 miles; Dolgellau 20 miles.

The tranquil town of Tywyn lies on the sweep of Cardigan Bay, perched on the end of the imposing Cader Idris mountain range where the landscape tumbles into the sea on the edge of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. The promenade and town are all on one level, ideal for that gentle evening stroll by the clear blue water of the Bay. Shopping in Tywyn is a pleasure, with a regular open-air market, and local shops offering a wide range of local produce and gifts. The proximity to mountains and sea means the town also offers a wide variety of activities, from mountaineering to surfing, and the area offers leisurely rambles through the beautiful countryside. Slightly further afield lie the towns of Dolgellau and Aberdovey (with its golf course), while attractions such as Harlech Castle, Llanfair Slate Caverns and the Talyllyn Railway, together with the sandy beaches of the Cambrian coast make this an ideal location for a relaxing break.
