Carreg Las

11/11/2023

It's been a nice end to the week after a somewhat damp start.
We have just opened up some availability in January if you're looking to walk or cycle off any Christmas excesses.

Did you know that we're on the new Traws Eryi mountain bike trail?
More information here: https://www.cyclinguk.org/traws-eryri

There is a lockable bike store at the cottage and some fantastic trails, local guides and Cader Idris to keep you busy.

If walks, beaches, rivers and sticks are your thing, then you're going to love it here.

My goodness the weather is wonderful at the moment and the village is at the top of its game.
Surprisingly the week from 3rd June (a week today), is still available, so why not come and see us in the prettiest valley in Wales.

It's been a beautiful spring day today and the fields are full of lambs

The weather has been a bit damp this week, but then there are days like this, just a week ago.
This is Barmouth, looking back down the Mawddach. It's about 25 mins drive or 15 minutes on the lovely coastal train from Tywyn.

Or, if you've got your walking boots with you, head out of the cottage, cross the stream and head for the hills. There's a path that will bring you all the way here, crossing the estuary at the railway bridge.

WINNER! Rebuilding of Ty Dwr watering point.

We're so humbled to have been voted the winners of the Steam Railway Award at the Heritage Railway Association Awards.

Thank you all so much for voting for us!

So lovely to hear the sound of trains in the valley again.

Great way to start the half term week.
Come and join us.

It's been blissful today, with snowdrops leading the charge into spring.

15/01/2023

We're getting bookings for spring and summer now. 50% of our bookings for 2023 are guests who've stayed with us before.

Maybe it's because there's so much to see, like this cute ground frame box at Brynglas, a couple of stops down the line from us.

05/01/2023

The trains are going to be quiet for a few weeks, but we're already taking bookings for the spring and summer, so why not come and stay in the cottage, in walking distance of the prettiest railway in Wales.

It's our final operating day today, and it looks like it will be a stunner! Lots of wintry sunshine to enjoy.
Three trains depart Wharf station 10:00, 11:45 and 13:30.
Our café, shop and museum are also open until 3pm.

After today we shut completely for some essential cleaning and maintenance - and re-open the café & shop on Monday 16th January. The next train services will be the 18-26th February.

All of our running days, timetables and special events for 2023 are now on our website: www.talyllyn.co.uk

We're closed for a couple of weeks for some pre-christmas renovations and we've replaced the front door!
The old one had done sterling service but was getting a little soggy around the edges. We're open for bookings through December, if you need a cosy escape.

02/11/2022

We got a certificate 🙂

We received a perfect 10 in our guest reviews over the summer. We're closing soon for a few renovations, but have some availability closer to Christmas.

We grow the flowers for Carreg Las in our own garden. This week it's Zinnias, Nicotiana and the unusual Cerinthe and sweet peas too.

10/07/2022

What a glorious day. Just getting ready for our next guests.

Want a last minute holiday they can't cancel? What are you doing next weekend?

Carreg Las is available from the 2nd to 9th July and there's over £230 off now because it's short notice.

So why not avoid the airports and come and see this beautiful corner of Wales?

Beaches or castles? We may be in the mountains but we're a stone's throw from some amazing places to visit too.

12/05/2022

We replaced the front gate today, having finally found an original Victorian one of the right width.

08/05/2022

The trees in the woods above the Gwernol are out now and the paths are edged with bluebells. There's still very few people around despite this amazing weather.

30/04/2022

We have late availability for the week of 7th to 14th May.
So if spring lambs, mountains, walks and pure peace and quiet are your thing, we have just the place.

Our own tulips adding to the welcome pack today, ready for new guests this afternoon.

We've said it once before, but it bears repeating. This is a very beautiful part of the UK - here looking back down the Mawdach towards Dolgellau.

"Such a beautiful area, with so many walks from the cottage. We only used the car once"
