Get cosy in amazing Snowdonia National Park location!
Ty’r Adar (which means House of Birds in Welsh) is a 2 bedroom house that is part of a former Victorian slate cutting mill and shares the same roof as three other self-catering properties. The building is set in 45 acres of wild woods and fields leading down to the beautiful Mawddach Estuary. The outstanding scenery of Snowdonia National Park is all around. The self-catering lets adjoin the owner's small, award-winning camping and glamping site.
The spacious self-catering accommodation sleeps 4 people in a stunning location. There is direct access down a steep track through our fields to the Mawddach Trail, one of the most scenic cycle and walking routes in the country, running along the estuary and linking traditional Welsh town of Dolgellau with seaside Barmouth.
The large open plan lounge/kitchen is redecorated in cosy colours with two big comfy sofas, perfect for relaxing after a day’s exploring. There is wifi and a large screen TV. Upstairs the master bedroom is spacious with a double bed and view across to the wooded hills. The second bedroom can be set up with 2 single beds or one super-king sized bed. All beds have cosy Welsh tapestry blankets. There’s also a double sofa bed downstairs in the lounge by the woodburner. Effective storage heaters mean the house is kept cosy when the fire is not lit.
The kitchen and bathroom have recently been refurbished. The kitchen is well equipped with a cooker/hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. There is also a dining table and chairs for five in this area. The bathroom has a small bath with a piping hot overhead shower.
There’s no estuary view from this one of the 3 self-catering lets at Graig Wen, but the feeder outside the window is always alive with finches, tits, siskins and many other birds – and there’s something special about lying in bed and listening to the owls hooting outside. If you are looking for a comfortable place to unwind after a day on the hills or out and about then Ty’r Adar is a good choice.
Open the front, stable-style door and step across our drive to a small private patio with table and chairs. Although this is our only cottage without enclosed outdoor space for young children or dogs to roam, you can just walk around the corner to find benches overlooking the wonderful view on our small camp site with 40 acres of woods and fields to explore.
On booking you will receive a welcome guide with loads of tips for planning your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Heyworth
Sarah and John live at Graig Wen with their 2 dogs. We also run the small camp site on site so are around if you need us. We left Brighton 15 years ago in a camper van and fell in love with this special part of Snowdonia National Park. Having lived in the city for many years, it's such a privilege to be able to walk through our fields to the Mawddach Estuary or bike along the trail to the shops.
Why they chose this property
Sarah and John live at Graig Wen with their 2 friendly dogs . We also run the small camp site on site so are around if you need us.

What makes this property unique
Graig Wen is a fantastic location for walkers, whether you fancy a stroll along the flat Mawddach Trail, or more strenuous climbs around the hills and mountains. Footpaths lead directly from the site and it's a brilliant place to bring your bike or dog. The views from the site itself are beautiful and there are communal areas for guests to take in the panorama of mountains and estuary. Some of the properties share this view - others overlook woodland across the road. The site is a paradise for bird-spotters and photographers without having to leave the gates. Our adjoining small camp site, as featured in the Cool Camping Guides, offers some great opportunities for family den-building, toasting marshmallows around a camp fire and meeting new friends. Sarah and John, the owners, live on site so are around to help with suggestions for you to get the most of your holiday.
