About this property

This historic converted chapel, lying in the small hamlet of Abertrinant, near Bryncrug, has stunning hill views and is a haven of quiet and peace. It is only a 15 minute drive to the beach and less than 10 minutes to the nearest pub and restaurant.

With step-free access from the off-road parking to the downstairs bedroom and en-suite shower room, Y Bwthyn is wheelchair accessible and perfect for families or friends, with a luxurious home away from home feel.

The lovingly restored hallway leads to an open-plan living area with dining for seven people, featuring a quirky window above the layout and a charm-filled, well-equipped kitchen. Sit back and relax in the warm cosy lounge area with its sumptuous sofas and wood burning-effect electric stove.

Three bedrooms each boast their own unique personality; the first, an easily accessible bedroom, is located on the ground floor, complimented by a large en-suite wet room. At the top of the stairs is a window and skylight nook with original beams, creating your own little haven to read a book or watch the abundant wildlife. Two further bedrooms are located on the first floor, a beautiful double with a lounge area, and a spacious, light and airy family suite with 3 single beds, which can be arranged by request as a king-size and a single.

The upstairs bathroom features historic timber beams from the original chapel, and its large airy skylights and solid oak floor makes it perfect to relax in the bath beneath the sky. While these luxurious timber features means there is no upstairs shower, the downstairs wet room offers the cottage's spacious shower facilities.

Appreciate the stunning views from the enclosed front terrace, where you can dine outside as you listen to birdsong. An open grassed area opposite the cottage offers a space for games. Why not find out more about the fascinating history of Abertrinant by exploring the old chapels cemetery. The Trustees are happy for guests to look around and also to use the grassy area behind the cottage for quiet sitting, yoga or simply drinking in the view.

The area boasts some of the finest beaches in Britain, with miles of golden sand-dune-backed shoreline running from Aberdovey north to Tywyn, with its promenade, leisure centre, independent cinema, restaurants, cafes and steam railway. The beaches are perfect for holidaymakers, swimmers and surfers as well as water sports enthusiasts in the local estuaries. Bounded by the Dyfi, Dysynni and Mawddach valleys, the peaks of Cader Idris and the Aran Fawddwy ranges are within easy reach, with Coed y Brenin forest nearby.

A precious cottage in a southern part of Snowdonia.

Bryncrug is a small village with a shop and pub, located in the Dysynni Valley, at the southern end of the Snowdonia National Park. Aberdovey is 6 miles away with its harbour, sandy beaches and golf course along with small shops, inns and superb restaurants, including ones serving locally caught seafood. Visit the Cader Idris mountain range and the Dovey and Dysynni valleys nearby, great for walking, climbing and seeing wildlife.

    Only suggestion is providing a shower extension in upstairs bathroom. We will visiting with friends and had the upstairs bathroom and there was no shower facility upstairs. Sue the host lived in adjoining cottage and was so friendly and helpful. A lovely box of goodies to welcome us. Would thoroughly recommend and it wA a competitively priced too. Thanks again to Sue xx

    Brilliant welcome on arrival from Sue. We felt that the owner genuinely cares about her customers and is not just doing it for some additional retirement income. Property is clean, well appointed and very functional. We would definitely come back.

    The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with excellent standard of finish and facilities. The owner lives nearby and is very helpful and there is secure indoor storage available for a 2/3 bikes. If you want an escape which is nonetheless close to Cadair Idris and the seaside resort of Tywyn this is ideal. There are plenty of options for outdoor activities nearby. Whilst the access road is narrow and steep this limits passing traffic to local residents and there is adequate parking for three full size cars on the flat outside the cottage. We had a great stay and will return.
