"The cottage was cosy, warm, beautifully clean and well equipped."
Llwyn Celyn is so comfortable to stay in and in a quiet location with great views and walks from the village.
-
"We had a lovely holiday."
Thanks to the comfy cottage and the friendly welcoming owners. The weather was also fantastic so we were very lucky. The surrounding area is very beautiful and the garden of the cottage is so peaceful and relaxing. We hope to come again. Many thanks . Andrea and Graham

"Cottage was cosy, clean and comfortable."
The road was quite busy at times. Location was good for exploring this part of Wales.
-
"Amazing cottage with a beautifully maintained garden and lovely hosts."
Little touches such as Welsh goodies on arrival were a lovely touch. Mike was also very helpful with recommending places to go and local walks. Nothing would be too much trouble if you needed anything. There is a shed in the garden that you can store bikes etc securely. The outlook is beautiful with a little stream and fields across the road. I do think it’s worth noting for families that there is no designated path outside the property and the road can be quite busy. It’s also worth noting that although the pub is 2 miles and shop 3 miles away, these cannot be reached by walking. A lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful area with stunning scenery.

"A fabulous cottage, with everything you could need."
A great place for walking and cycling. Mike and Luned are very welcoming and the cottage is beautifully looked after. Can't thank you enough.
-
"A really good cottage."
Very comfortable and had all the kitchen appliances we needed and sky, which we used only on a night time, as we were out all day. A lovely part of wales, the scenery is spectacular. Mike and Luned have done a good job with this cottage.

"PERFECT Had a great time walking around this stunning region of Wales, with a gorgeous bluebell wood right on the doorstep of the property and many easy to reach areas, so many amazing views, the property is great, has all you need for a happy holiday!"
-
"Very comfortable, super clean and well-equipped cottage."
Kitchen has everything you could need, WiFi is blazing fast, SkyTV provided including films, lots of books and maps to read, including many recommended walks etc. Great location for exploring the area (car recommended). Peaceful and relaxing, I had a great week. The owners live next door but and are really friendly but leave you alone to enjoy your holiday; thanks!

"We had a great stay in this excellent cottage."
Clean, cosy and warm with great views, it was a good base to visit the coast and nearby attractions. We really felt comfortable here and hope to come back soon!
-
"We spent four weeks (January 2024) in this outstanding cottage with wonderful host."
The only comment we can make is EXCELLENT.
-
"Clean, well laid out, has everything to maximize your enjoyment and enable you to relax into the location."
Nice walking routes accessed directly from the property, short, medium or long. Short drive for supplies. In all for us, it was the perfect base to enjoy our time away. 10/10 for the owners. Thanks you. DCS
-
"We had a lovely stay with all that we needed."
Sadly it rained pretty much constantly but all the places we visited were dry. Lots of hidden places if you search around. The cottage itself was comfortable, it had everything we needed for the week. Lovely views across the road with sheep & horses opposite.
-
"A delightful cottage in a great location fully-equipped and comfortable."
Roomy lounge and kitchen downstairs with two very good sized bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. (As pensioners we found the steps at the top of the stairs a little disconcerting but soon got used to them). It was lovely to have a garden with patio table and chairs. Great to have Sky TV. One small downside was the road immediately outside which was noisy at certain times. Very hospitable hosts who provided a delicious welcome pack.
-
"We really enjoyed the cottage which is cosy and spacious also in a good location to visit the surounding attractions."
The owners are very friendly and helpful. .
-
"Our second stay, the cottage is perfect in every way, beautifully clean, comfortable a lovely garden and patio area to sit and enjoy some food and a glass of what you fancy."
We will be back again.
-
"We had a wonderful stay in Lywyn Celyn, the cottage is perfectly situated for many lovely walks and days out."
It is extremely well-equipped, had everything we needed for the week. The cottage is clean, comfortable and warm - a home from home. The owners next door were friendly and really helpful with local knowledge. We would definitely recommend a stay here.
-
"Our 2nd visit & just as good as the first stay."
Absolutely no problems with the property & car parking. One light bulb needs replacing in the living room, which didn't bother us at all & the owners wouldn't be aware of. Would certainly book the cottage again, but not next year as we have well covered Wales over a good number of years. Off to the Highlands of Scotland next year, which we haven't visited for a few years, but we will holiday again in Wales preferably at this cottage as it is in an ideal location for touring by car.
-
"It’s our third time of staying in this lovely cottage it’s so nice clean and in a great location to visit some beautiful places and great for walks."
Mike and Luned are great hosts and will definitely be back to stay in the future.
-
"A beautiful cottage in a fabulous location."
Truly a great escape and with everything you could wish for. Beautifully tended garden and a sun terrace where you can actually watch the sun set is such a bonus. Lovely hosts who really care about quality. We will certainly be revisiting!
-
"Great place to stay lovely clean and cozy cottage set in beautiful surroundings."
-
"We found this property to be even nicer than reviews posted."
It made a very good base to enjoy the scenery and attractions, whether they were seaside, walking, historical sites etc. The cottage was as close to perfect as possible, warm, comfortable, spacious, in fact my wife even said, I could very easily move in and live here. The hosts catered for every single requirement you may have. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to book again.
-

"A warm welcome from Mike and Luned on arrival, the cottage is nothing short of perfect and equipped with everything you could need."
It is set in a lovely quiet spot with but near enough to shops. The garden was a great bonus and the patio was a great place to eat and chat in the morning and evening. absolutely perfect and will be booking again. Thank you
-
"Llwyn Celyn is a lovely, comfortable cottage in a great location with friendly, helpful hosts."
Superb views and a great base for mountain biking the nearby trails.
-
"Absolutely immaculate, not a speck of dust, mark or blemish to be found anywhere."
Beautifully and comfortably furnished, Luned & Mike work extremely hard to present such a welcoming and homely retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Fab views across the countryside and the garden is charming and characterful.
-
"Fabulous week at Llwyn Celyn."
The cottage is really well equipped, spacious and clean. Stunning garden with great views. Shed for bike storage was also really useful. The cottage is close enough to Dolgellau and beaches at Fairbourne and Barmouth. Special mention to Mike and Luned who made us feel really welcome during the stay. Look forward to returning.
-
"I had a superb stay in this marvellous cottage."
Everything worked; heating, hot water, shower, Sky TV, wi-fi etc and it was very comfortable. Only spent three days this time but wished I could've stayed longer as so much to see and explore in the surrounding area! Also, very good communication from the host and the neighbour A++
-
"Owners are very accommodating and the property is one of the best we have stayed at in the area."
Lovely walks directly at the back of the property with stunning views. A generously sized Bike Storage shed is a bonus.
-
"Great cottage in an ideal location for walking and mountain bike routes."
Pictures don't do the place justice. Even has shed to keep mountain bikes and nice long garden with great views. Cottage was spotless and well maintained. Highly recommend and look forward to returning again in future.
-
"Lovely, well equipped cottage in great location."
Just what we needed to wind down.
-
"Amazing stay, everything has been thought of and the place is very comfortable."
Would definitely look to staying again. Views are lovely from the rooms.
-
"Very difficult to add anything more to the excellent reviews already posted for the cottage."
Owners were very helpful and friendly. Cottage is very clean and had everything we needed. Many excellent walks/hikes in the local area and beach an easy journey by car. If and when we return to Snowdonia, we will definitely plan to stay here again.
-
"In a word - excellent."
Well equipped and quality furnishing. Highly recommended. The only negative is the proximity of the road running past the property and the inevitable road noise, which some people may find obtrusive.
-
"We spent a wonderful long weekend in this beautiful cottage."
It is superbly located, close to Dolgellau, spotlessly clean and with great walks on the doorstep. The owners live next door and were really friendly and welcoming, and especially so, considering the constraints of adherence to COVID ‘rules’. Recommended.
-
"The cottage was welcoming and comfortable."
The owners had left a little welcome pack which was appreciated. We had a lovely week at this property and would recommend it to friends and family. we hope to return to this property next year to explore the area when Covid 19 is less of an issue hopefully.
-
"Excellent cottage friendly owners and on the whole it was a fantastic holiday ."
-
"This was our second time staying in the cottage, with all the problems we have right now everything was perfect in the cottage lovely and clean, and with a welcome gift waiting for us, cant fault the cottage and mike and luned the cottage owners are lovely caring people, always ready to help if you need it."
They take the recent problems very seriously and make sure their guest are safe and comfortable. The area around birthdir is ideal for walkers and visiting all of north wales attractions very easy, we will be going back to complete more walks, visiting our favourite places and looking forward to fish&chip suppers from the cosy chippy in Dolgellau. Thanks again Mike & Luned see you next year.
-
"Lovely, comfortable cottage ideally located for the amazing forest, beaches and mountains nearby."
Great for active families especially those that like walking and cycling/mountain biking with secure bike storage. Michael and Luned were really friendly and were able to help us with any queries about the local area, directions, tips on best routes etc. We were apprehensive about booking anything but we needn't have been- the cottage was spotless and all the Covid safe measures put in place meant we were reassured and able to relax and enjoy the break. Thank you.
-
"Just come back from this beautiful place."
The cottage was perfectly located in easy drive to lots of places, also so many lovely walks in walking distance from cottage. The cottage its self was spotlessly clean and so beautifully decorated it had such a homely cottage feel. We had the best week here and would highly recommend to stop here. We had two children who loved it just as much and cant wait to return again.

"We had always had static caravan holidays for over 30 years, Having decided to try a holiday cottage this year we were completely surprised by the quality of the property and furnishings, what a wonderful job the owners had done it really was a home from home everything you could need was provided, the area is wonderfully laid back and peaceful, if you want a break from every day life come here and chill out."
A big thank you to Mike and Luned they are on hand if you need anything but you wouldn’t know they live next door thanks again, we will be recommending your lovely cottage to all our friends and family.

"Lovely cottage in a picaresque location."
Cottage amenities were fantastic and the addition of a shed to store and lock our bikes was fantastic. The collection of leaflets and OS maps helped plan the week Will definitely be returning in the future

-
"We were both very pleased with the Cottage Llywn Celyn at Brithdir."
The owners Mike & Luned were a very friendly couple who helped us with good guidance as far as best places to visit and general guidance on quickest routes etc, supplying maps and guide books as required. Their eye for detail within the Cottage was as you would wish in your own home. We would recommend others to book Llwyn Celyn and enjoy as we did.
-
"A very comfortable and well appointed cottage."
Very well placed for access to walks both in the south snowdonia mountains range and on sandy beaches . A great base Thanks for the welcome gifts and your attention to detail
-
"No, the cottage was superb, excellent location for exploring southern Snowdonia, and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone."
-
"What a superb holiday cottage this was!"
It was ultra clean and tidy and had everything on hand that you could possibly want while on holiday including off-road parking. The cottage afforded high quality furnishings, bed linen, towels etc which was very pleasing and a real bonus. The hosts, Luned & Mike, who lived close by, were lovely, helpful but unintrusive. A couple of days before we travelled we were given simple instructions on how to obtain house keys. On arrival we found fresh flowers and a card waiting to greet us together with tea, coffee, sugar, milk in fridge and a delicious locally baked Bara Brith fruit cake! The location was ideal for touring the surrounding area, was set in quiet countryside with a stream running through the garden and continuing across to the meadow opposite. The cottage had its own private garden which was great to sit in at the end of a busy day. There was a petrol station and a supermarket within a couple of miles and so all was convenient. I would have no concerns about highly recommending this cottage to anyone looking for a quiet, countryside setting but with everything on hand for exploring. Thank You and a big ‘Well done’ Luned & Mike, first class!!

The cottage had everything you could need and more. Highly recommended.
-
"A beautiful well appointed and comfortable cottage A real home from home Great setting with good access to all routes"
-
"Apart from being very clean and comfortable, it was the little touches that stood out for me like the extensive range of maps we could borrow and books about the local area."
There was a Sky box with access to Sky Cinema which I thought was very thoughtful. We hardly saw the owners of the cottage who lived next door, but it was good to know they were there for any problems or queries we had.
-
"This holiday cottage was perfect for us on this visit to North Wales."
Not only was it located ideally to take advantage of all the numerous places worthy of interest, it was extremely well accommodated and to a very high standard. It was a joy to stay there. It was exceptional value and we have no doubt in highly recommend it and saying it was amazing lace to return to on a busy day. We thank the owner for allowing us to stay there. If we were to visit Snowdonia in future, it would be our first choice as a place to stay in again.
-
"Definitely one of the very best cottage holidays we've had over the past 25 years."
Large roomed cottage spotlessly clean with new, high quality equipment, furniture and fittings. Superb location. Very friendly, thoughtful and helpful owners living next door, easy to talk to if you needed them. Nice garden with washing line and seating areas. Brand new games iand lots of books and maps about the locality and Snowdonia generally. Weather was fantastic too. We've spend many weeks in Wales over the decades and this was the first with wall-to-wall sunshine. Loved it all.
-
"We enjoyed our stay it was a lovely cottage in a quiet area, very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed, the owners were very friendly too."
We had fun exploring the area.
-
"What a lovely cottage to relax in & lovely owners too."
The steepstairs May have been an issue if my children were any younger than they are currently. Overall a fabulous stay in a lovely area of the world. Thank you from the Rostron’s
-
"Very comfortable light cottage with fresh, modern, and tasteful furnishings and decor."
All possible needs are met with a range of kitchen ware, cosy sitting room, comfortable beds etc. The hosts kindly provided a variety of delicious Welsh treats and beautiful flowers to welcome us after a long drive. They have really gone the extra mile to ensure their guests are happy and comfortable and while we felt they were there if we needed any help, at the same time they were completely non-intrusive. This is a very conveniently-located cottage near many outstanding walks and of course provides the extra bonus of being within easy reach of Dolgellau for shopping. Very peaceful and quiet with soft pretty views. We have visited this area of Snowdonia possibly a dozen times but this was for sure one of the very best cottages we have stayed. Would definitely recommend.
-
"A beautiful cosy cottage close to many activities and places of interest."
Well maintained to a high standard and perfect for couples or families with older children. Loved our welcome gift of Welsh ‘treats’ on arrival too! We would have no hesitation in staying here again in the future.

The property
A well-appointed double fronted semi-detached cottage, located on the outskirts of the semi-rural hamlet of Brithdir, three miles from Dolgellau in the Snowdonia National Park.
Providing the perfect base for exploring the wild and rugged landscapes and stunning scenery of North Wales this cottage will suit couples and friends, a family, keen walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Llwyn Celyn is tastefully furnished throughout with quality oak furniture, lovely soft furnishings and fresh décor which all help to create a wonderful relaxing ambience and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive.
The sitting room is cosy with two sumptuous sofas to relax into after a busy day out and about and the addition of a warming electric fire adds a warming glow on the cooler nights.
The kitchen is well-appointed and fully equipped and the dining area is a lovely place to enjoy a meal together or just sit and chat or play one of the many boxed games, great for a fun filled family evening.
Upstairs are two stylish bedrooms, both enjoying views extending towards open countryside and hillside scenery and the main bedroom boasts a king-size bed.
A modern bathroom completes this delightful cottage.
Outside, there is a great garden and patio area with furniture, enjoying the sun all day, sit and relax, with a glass of something on those balmy summer evenings after a day of activities.
There is also secure bike storage which is handy as there are so many cycle routes to explore, mountain bike tracks and trails and the renowned mountain bike centre at Coed-y-Brenin is just a short drive away.
The beautiful sandy beaches of Barmouth, Fairbourne and Aberdovey, as well as Harlech Castle, a World Heritage Site are easy to reach too.
Local shops, restaurants and pubs found at nearby Dolgellau and there are some fantastic walks from the doorstep with great access to Snowdonia which offers more wonderful walking opportunities.
A little further afield, why not visit Blaenau Ffestiniog, home to a host of adrenaline-fuelled activities at Llechwedd Slate Caverns, Zip World Titan (the largest zip zone in Europe), Zip World Caverns and Bounce Below (deep mine zip wires and the largest underground system of trampolines in the world!) and for something a little less energetic, the well-known Ffestiniog narrow gauge steam railway will be loved by all.
This lovely cottage is an ideal retreat to be enjoyed all year round.
