cae tudur, gorgeous rural retreat near barmouth

Cae Tudur is a beautiful, original stone cottage nestling amongst acres of pastureland and mature woodland high above the stunning Mawddach estuary, within Snowdonia National Park. With immediate access to the Rhinog mountains, this unique 2-bedroom rural retreat is an oasis of calm.

The cottage has been a labour of love for the owners, evident from the tasteful homely touches that they have added. It features original oak beams and a large inglenook fireplace, a wood-burning stove, a brand-new fitted kitchen and a dining area. Double glazing and fixed ECO electric heaters. The two lovely bedrooms, sleep 4 guests and have picturesque views. Good Wi-Fi VIA fiber Broadband.

The woodland garden and terrace are ideal for fresco dining. With no light pollution, this is a great place for stargazing. There is lots to experience here whether it’s walking in the woods or the hills, swimming or kayaking in the nearby freshwater lakes, or taking a trip to surf on the Cambrian Coasts’ sandy beaches nearby. Beautiful views towards the mountain range of Cadair Idris, and down to the Mawddach estuary. The old drover’s road passes close by, the Sword Stones, and a healing well are all within a short walk as is a secret forest pool. Barmouth is within a 10-minute drive, or a walk over the hills. The market town of Dolgellau and the second highest mountain in Wales- Cadair Idris is just a 15-20 minute drive.

Additional info:
Private parking for up to 3 vehicles to the side of the cottage. The farmer has access through the gated area along the track. The road to the cottage is a public single-track tarmac road for approximately 2 miles with passing places. At some points, there are dry stone walls on either side. Small low-powered cars will struggle on the inclines, so we only recommend that you bring a family-size car or 4 X 4. Vans and mini buses are not suitable, due to the narrowness of the road. We DON’T recommend that you arrange supermarket deliveries unless you arrange to meet them at the bottom of the road or in Barmouth, just 2.1 miles away from the turn-off. The final approach is a well-maintained fairly level private gravelled track. NB: Bring sturdy walking boots or wellies and torches.

Charging of electric cars.

Some of our properties are fitted with professionally installed and connected EVCPs (Electric Vehicle Charging Points) for the safe charging of electric cars. The use of an extension lead into a property that is plugged into a 3-pin domestic supply is strictly prohibited, due to the risk of fire by overloading the domestic electric circuit. Additionally, our owner’s home insurance may be invalid if a fire was to be caused by such an act. We suggest that guests with EV’s ensure that they are aware of the local charging stations before they book with us..
