Self Catering Dolgellau Gwynedd
Penybryn is a tastefully decorated, totally detached and private self catering holiday cottage in the mountains near Dolgellau and a real home from home experience. In the family for generations, Penybryn was rebuilt from a ruin by the current owners in the 1990s and is set in a commanding position overlooking the Cader Idris (or Cadair Idris) and Aran mountain ranges. It is the perfect location for those looking for that special rural retreat and who want to get away from it all, with footpaths and cycling routes right from the front door. Also for anyone wanting to watch the Mach Loop jets, which fly past the cottage and with easy access either by car or on foot to some of the Mach Loop viewpoints in the same valley. We are also on Airbnb for both properties – https://www.airbnb.co.uk/h/penybryn-cottage-in-the-hills & https://www.airbnb.co.uk/h/cabin-in-the-hills-near-dolgellau. In addition to Penybryn Cottage and the Caban, we also have a *Shepherd’s Hut*, contact us for details or view the Airbnb link at https://www.airbnb.co.uk/h/hutinthehills
