Walking

This is fantastic walking country, from a stroll along the Mawddach Estuary following the old railway to Barmouth, to climbing the peak of Cadair Idris. We are happy to provide a packed lunch for guests out for a full day.

Castles

At the head of The Mawddach Estuary, Dolgellau is only a few miles from the sea with the coastal towns of Aberdyfi, Harlech and Cricieth within easy reach. The coast is also home to some of our most spectacular castles, real castles with real history in their stones.
