We stayed at Arthog for a week in a sunny August. The house is set in a stunning private 30 acres with exceptional views of the mountains and Mawddach estuary from the small hill behind the cottage. It was a perfect place for our anxious dog to explore and was so peaceful. The surrounding area is breathtakingly beautiful with beaches, lakes, mountains, historic places and high adrenaline activities all on hand. The owners are very friendly and the cottage is very comfortable and homely.
Beautiful surroundings in a really quiet area. Perfect for a peaceful retreat

If you want a get away from it all kinda holiday, Erw Goed Hen Feudy is for you.
If you want a get away from it all kinda holiday, Erw Goed Hen Feudy is for you. Think gingerbread house deep in the woods: you won't see another soul, if you don't want to, and the only sounds you will hear are bird song and the stream rushing through the garden. If you want shops, pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, it's not for you! Hen Feudy is warm and comfy, but is not furnished to luxury, modern standards. Rather, it is welcoming and homely - the ideal place to return to when you (and your dog) are soaking wet and muddy. The only thing it lacked was a coffee table in the lounge, but maybe that had been removed because of Covid19?

A lovely peaceful cottage situated in its own 1 acre garden with a stream running through the grounds and surrounded by woodland. Perfect for the dog! Lots of local walks and the nearest town, Dolgellau, is only a short drive away and has a well stocked supermarket (follow the sign for the Leisure Centre). Will definitely return.

Stunning setting really loved it good accommodation there are a few things that need fixing in the cottage like most houses to keep every body happy but we did not have any issues with them .
Would highly recommend It. Are dog loved the garden and never had a drink from his own dish all the time we were there he always went to the small steam that's runs through the property .
Love the place and will return .
The owners are very helpful and make sure you try the honey !!!

Dog owners paradise; numerous walks from the cottage itself, lakes, waterfalls and only 5 minutes to the Mawddach trail with the George III a few miles along with excellent food. Didn’t find any other notable eateries and quite a trek (25mins by car) to nearest supermarket so best to go prepared (kitchen well equipped). Lovely large, private garden with garden furniture to relax in with dogs. Only negative points the access from the road is not suited to a low level car, and the cottage and garden would benefit from a bit of tlc.

What a fantastic holiday cottage ! We enjoyed the totaly relaxing experience with the only noise being the lovely little stream at the bottom of the garden and the cute sound of the hens/ducks etc. The place was spotless. It was wonderful seeing the workings of the bee hive with the information given by Paul and Pauline very informative. The creams and soaps hand made by Paul and Pauline are amazing products . The honey was delicious too. A much relaxed holiday enjoyed by all with us booking again for next year. Thank you again for a lovely relaxing holiday.
