Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Dinas Mawddwy

A holiday cottage in Dinas Mawddwy is an excellent choice if you want a peaceful base for exploring Snowdonia. This traditional village is located in the glorious county of Gwynedd, in Wales’ northwest corner. It lies at the convergence of the Cerist and Dovey rivers in the shadow of two spectacular hills, Foel Benddin and Foel Dinas. In the heart of the village, there’s a scattering of pretty stone cottages, a post office and a café. There’s also a charming pub, the Red Lion, where good food, ales and a chat with the locals can be enjoyed. Meirion Mill is on the outskirts of the village, at the terminus of the old railway, which once transported slate from Minllyn to the main line at Cemmaes Road. Here, you’ll find an excellent café and a shop selling a variety of locally produced clothing, crafts and gifts.
