Front and rear gardens, patio area with good views, with outside dining furniture and gas barbecue. Private hot tub (seats 5), with lighting, and massage jets. The rear garden is enclosed and terraced on two levels, and care must be taken when approaching the edges of the terraces. Distant sea views from the hot tub! The cottage is in a designated 'Dark Skies' reserve, and the quantity and brightness of stars that can be seen whilst relaxing in the hot tub is amazing. Croquet, boules, and garden badminton equipment is there for you to use in the garden, or on the beach. There are traditional family board games provided, a 1960's record player (and records!), lots of books, as well as free fast Wi-Fi, X-Box & games, family DVDs and TV. Bryn Heulog is in the hamlet of Friog, right by an award winning beach, with the foothills of Cader Idris and the famous 'Blue Lake' behind it. The area has fantastic walking and cycling attractions, to suit all abilities and experience. Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park Mountain Bike Centre is close by, as is the family friendly Mawddach Trail, which can include a crossing of the famous Barmouth Bridge, or a stop at the George III by the toll bridge in Penmaenpool for a pub lunch. You can walk from the front door to the hills behind which reach to the beautiful and dramatic Cregennen Lakes, and further on to Cadair Idris itself, passing lots of local waterfalls, Victorian Slate and Gold Mines, with amazing views over Cardigan Bay. The beach is a few minutes walk away, and is always quiet. It is sandy, and gently sloping, and perfect for families. There is always lots of opportunity for kite flying, rock-pooling, fishing, kayaking, paddling, swimming, beachcombing, sandcastle making, crabbing, or just lying down in the sun with a good book. The narrow gauge railway at Fairbourne is a very short walk away, and is one of the famous little trains of Wales. You can catch it to 'The Point' facing Barmouth, and then catch the connecting local ferry across the estuary to get to the Victorian Seaside town. From there you can book a boat for some sea fishing, visit the theatre, the fairground, or one of the many shops and restaurants. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Stereo - TV - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On a lake ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 721 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33595300/33595251/50836bc9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Sea and Mountain Panorama from this charming stone barn Barmouth - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 100 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=33595251&PinnedHotelID=33595251&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34720000/34712300/34712280/d8744826.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### On Mawddach estuary Snowdonia pets welcome Certificate of Excellence Tripadvisor Llanelltyd - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=34712280&PinnedHotelID=34712280&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116410000/116400100/116400001/fc463ada.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Riverside Cottage, Abergwynant (sleeps up to 3) - don't forget your binoculars!
