Pentre Gwynfryn is located just outside Llanbedr and is one of the area’s hidden gems. The cottage itself has its own patio which looks out over the river, forests and mountains beyond. There are numerous walks right from the door step. A 10 minute drive will take you up to Cwm Bychan, a large lake which is also the entry point for the famous Roman Steps walk which takes you into the Rhinog Mountains. There are some beautiful stops on the way up to the lake where you can stop off and swim in small pools, one of which has a set of three small waterfalls - it’s a local’s place they like to keep secret! 10 minutes away in the next valley is home to the famous Nantcol Waterfalls.

Blue flag beaches and a traditional seaside town with a funfair, a fantastic range of shops, cafes, restaurants and, harbour make it a great day out.

North from the cottage brings you to Harlech with the castle, a stunning sandy beach, Royal St Davids golf course, and a climbing wall for those rainy days. Home made cakes, ice cream and some lovely independent gift and antique shops make this a lovely place to spend some time.
