Nearby Dolgellau was subject to several gold rushes in the 1860s, when small amounts were found in the estuary, drawing hopeful prospectors from afar. Although some of the quartz veins did yield an amount of the precious metal, the source was short lived. At Bontddu, a few miles west of Dolgellau, gold extracted from that source was used for both the Queen’s wedding ring, and that of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Today the town comes alive in mid July during the Sesiwn Fawr, when a series of bands and musical activities take place in pubs and open-air stages. For walkers, Dolgellau makes a good base for a number of wonderful walks, including hikes up the magnificent Cader Idris or more gentle ambles along the Mawddach Estuary. Horse riding and train rides along the coast are available locally; not to be missed are the Creggenan Lakes. Other attractions include King Arthur’s Labyrinth in Corris, near Machynlleth, where an underground boat takes visitors into the spectacular caverns under the Braichgoch mountain, accompanied by light and sound effects. The Corris craft centre offers a delight of local crafts, including jewellery, pottery, turned wood, leather goods and candles amongst others. Other places of interest include the Centre for Alternative Technology, the Talyllyn Railway, the unusual Italianate village of Portmeirion and the lively seaside town of Barmouth with its pretty harbour, great beach and seafood. Snowdonia is just under 1 hour away.

Amazingly clean. Fabulous outstanding views. The pool was great. The kitchen utensils were the best I've ever seen. They've thought of absolutely everything to make cooking easy and a real home from home. We loved the local wild ponies, very cute. We walked over the bridge to Barmouth and the views were stunning.

I am a wheelchair user and once inside the property everything ok.
A lack of handrails inside and outside prevented me from going from room to easily and outside no chance. The shale parking space and path up to the property not easy for me.
Never showered all week , no handrails.
Other members in my family, found no problems at all.

We adored it at treetops.
We adored it at treetops. A wonderful holiday after all the restrictions with covid 19 etc .
The pool area was such addition to our experience and our grandchildren couldn’t get enough of it . It’s very safe and secure so we had no worries with the children and safety etc .
We adored the beautiful views from most of the windows and could have simply looked out at them all day . John the owner was very helpful and always at the end of the phone if we had a query . A wonderful experience which we would do all over again if we could !

Excellent location, with wonderful views.
Excellent location, with wonderful views. The pool was a delight, and the cottage well-equiped. Access is along a private track which does have a tight bend and a steep section, not a problem but something to be aware of

Amazing location! Cottage is beautiful! Beyond beautiful.
Amazing location! Cottage is beautiful! Beyond beautiful. Pool is lovely. It was a daily struggle to get the children out of it!
It really is a home from home. Could do with a king size bed though!
