1 Bedroom Cottage in Penmaenpool, Dolgellau

Finest Retreats are pleased to present Toll Bridge Cottage, a unique, characterful cottage alongside the Mawddach estuary. Stay in the quaint toll keeper’s cottage, which oozes old world charm with amazing waterside views.
The bridge was built in 1879 as a replacement for a ferry crossing and the cottage is said to have been added to around the 1900s. The cottage can sleep up to two guests, with a kitchen, dining and lounge nestled around the cosy log burner, perfect for an evening in around the fire. There’s also a shower room, and double bedroom with striped wooden walls all around which just adds to the character and charm.
Outside enjoy expansive and uninterrupted views on the terrace – the ideal place to relax, watch the local wildlife and immerse in the breath-taking scenery. And of course, you can also watch the occasional car, bike or group of walkers go by during the day and crossing the historic bridge.
The cottage is well located for visiting guests to explore the stunning scenery of the area. The adjacent cycle track, the Mawddach trail, that used to be the old railway track is perfect for strolls as well as bikes.
Slightly further afield is the seaside town of Barmouth that includes stunning sandy beaches, and the traditional market town of Dolgellau offering a range of artisan shops and weekly farmers market is only two miles away. The foothills of the majestic Cadir and Idris are on the near horizon tempting you to explore their magnificence and beauty, and the beast that is Snowdonia is just a short drive away.
A small supply of logs will left on arrival. Guests then need to either pre-order logs at time of booking @ £5 per bag or they can be purchased directly from the toll keepers.
For more information and bookings please contact Finest Retreats.

Summary: The setting of the wee cottage at the end of the toll bridge made for a quirky experience and the wider setting of hills and the estuary was beautiful. It was perfect.

Sharron Oct 6, 2024 11:23:27 PM
Summary: Pub was within walking distance of the property and food was wonderful and staff were very friendly. Cottage is a wonderful base for walking and we were incredibly lucky with the weather. Toll bridge staff are amazing and so helpful and knowledgeable. Parking could be an issue at times but other than that, everything was great

Summary: Amazing location: right on the Mawddach trail, close to Barmouth, Dolgellau, Fairbourne, yards from the very nice George III pub, less than a mile from Penmaenuchaf Hall (fancy dining - go on Sunday for 3 courses + appetisers and bread, almost affordable at £38). Really enjoyed being part of the daily life of the toll bridge, listening to the comings and goings of locals and tourists. It's not loud, or disruptive, just a gentle routine that's fun to observe. The toll keepers are lovely too. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very, very well-equipped. We lacked nothing. The appliances are all well maintained too - hob, oven, fridge and dishwasher all do a grand job. The heating is effective, even though we were there for a particularly chilly long weekend in April we were never cold. The log burner added to the cosiness. We didn't get a chance to sit on the terrace due to the cold weather but we did check it out and dreamt about coming back in warmer weather just to sit there gazing out over the water. The best bit of the cottage is the views - looking out across the water (upstream and down), watching the geese, herons, waders...imagining that we can see otters (we couldn't, but we really, really wanted to). Booking and access was all very slick, clear instructions made it all straightforward. There's a folder full of manuals for appliances and helpful information about the place. Some fantastic historical detail about the bridge too. Really didn't want to leave

Summary: Friendly & helpful staff at the toll booth. Stunning location. The property is pet friendly. Unfortunately this meant that my clothes are now covered in dog hair. The free parking is not a dedicated car park for the cottage- guests are directed to a public car park which is full at peak holiday times.
Maggie Sep 6, 2024 11:25:41 PM
Summary: Lovely waterside spot, quirky, historically interesting, enhanced by the lovely relationship we had with the toll collectors - they were all friendly, helpful and charming Just one very picky comment - the duvet is very heavy! (We had lovely weather!)
Maurice Sep 6, 2024 11:25:37 PM
Summary: Primarily location, and the cottage is perfect for two, well equipped and comfortable, with excellent wifi. Toll Bridge staff were helpful and friendly. Bed was comfortable but we found the duvet too heavy for our comfort. Vacuum cleaner could do with some attention.
