The space
Spend a holiday in the foothills of Cadair Idris, a land steeped in myth and mystery. Where King Arthur and Merlin, according to legend, once walked. Where the locals still speak a language older than Latin.
The precipice walk above Dolgellau gives spectacular views along the valley.
Creggennan lakes are 10 minutes walk from the cottage, the smaller lake is stocked, and the larger lake is wild. Fishing permits can be obtained from the farm above the lake, Ffridd Boedal. The hill above the lake is the ''Pared y Gefnhir'' it is from this hill that the house and cottage get their name.
Arthog falls can be reached from the footpath opposite the church in Arthog.
The Blue Lake above Fairbourne is an old reservoir, and the water is truly blue. It can be reached from Ffordd Panteinion, Friog. (opposite the telephone exchange) Parking can be difficult, but a few hundred yards up the road is a gate and style on the right, follow the path, it is quite steep, and it will lead to the blue lake. The water is always blue and ice cold!

The cottage was a lovely place to stay for our family holiday. It's fully equipped, comfortable, cosy and quiet, with cows grazing in the next field. The location in the mountains is really peaceful and picturesque! Our host was friendly and greeted us warmly on arrival, and he has a wealth of local knowledge. The location is perfect for nature walks and activities in the area.Would definitely stay again.

The cottage is in a lovely location above the coast of wild West Wales. The lane meandered up through a rocky gorge full of woodland and moss, beautiful. The hosts were welcoming and the cottage had all we needed for a very pleasant stay. The walking in the area is brilliant with a mountains and beaches within easy reach. If you like peace and quiet in lovely rural Wales this is a lovely place.
