We
can also offer a luxury self catering farmhouse - "Ty Glan yr Afon" is
situated in the picturesque and scenic valley of Cwm Hirgwm, above the
small village of Bontddu, and is in fact the owner's old family home. It
is approx. 1 mile from the village, and approx. 5 miles from the nearest
towns - Barmouth on the west coast, and the market town of Dolgellau to
the east. The surrounding area is famous for its gold-mining activity,
though now closed, the mines in their heyday were an important source of
employment.
There are stunning views of the surrounding countryside and mountains,
and there are plenty of walks - some right from the doorstep! "Ty Glan
yr Afon" is also the ideal base from which to tour north and mid Wales -
most of the major attractions for these areas are within an hour's drive
away.
There is a local pub in Bontddu, "The Halfway House" now under new
ownership, serving food and beverages.
"Ty Glan yr Afon" is a traditional style farmhouse which dates back to
the early 1600's, but has been completely renovated and refurbished to a
very high standard - taking care to retain its unique characteristics
such as the huge exposed oak beams, the inglenook fireplace, even the
sloping bedroom floors!
Standing in about an acre of ground it overlooks the "Tynglan" bridge
where two mountain streams merge on their way to the renowned Mawddach
estuary below. Built of stone and a slate roof, "Ty Glan yr Afon" has
been tastefully furnished, and is centrally heated throughout.
