About this property
The Cottage, Gefnir Isaf
The cottage is the original farmhouse, part of which dates from the late 16th century, and offers 3 bedrooms. Bed linen and towels are included.
The kitchen is fully fitted with oven, hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, etc.
The sitting room has small multi-fuel stove/enclosed fire, easy chairs and settee. HD TV with built in DVD player and Sky Q. There are books for light reading and free Wi-Fi.
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!
