Eirlys in North Wales & Snowdonia | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Eirlys

Tucked away on the fringes of Bontddu, near Dolgellau, Gwynedd, lies this wonderful studio-style pod, Eirlys. Set on an 850-acre hill farm within the Snowdonia National Park, and surrounded by rolling landscapes, this holiday property is a fantastic, pet-friendly choice for a romantic stay in North Wales.

Enter upon an open-plan living area, which has a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining table for two people, and a sitting area with a plush sofa, a Smart TV, and ceiling-mounted Bluetooth speakers. Grab a glass of your favourite tipple and take a seat on the outdoor decking, before enjoying an indulgent soak in the wood-fired hot tub.

As the evening grows darker, refresh in the shower room before settling down for a rejuvenating slumber in the inviting double bedroom. If you fancy exploring the local area, settle down for a meal at The Royal Ship in nearby Dolgellau, or grab some essentials at the nearby SPAR convenience store for a picnic in Dolgellau Park, or perhaps take a stroll by the serene waters of Afon Mawddach.

There are numerous pathways that lead directly from your front door to a variety of walks within the Rhinog mountain range, where you can enjoy breath-taking views from Rhinog Fawr's summit. History enthusiasts should take the Clogau route to visit the famous Clogau gold mine, whilst those seeking a more active day out can venture up the famous Snowdon Mountain peak, which is the highest mountain in England and Wales, or even take part in an underground mine tour at Zip World Llechwedd.

For a romantic escape to North Wales, book a stay at Eirlys.

Eirlys Reviews

Sophie

I loved this place, it feels so private and secluded as it sits at the bottom of a hill and its a stunning little hut, the hot tub is a massive bonus however it takes ages to heat up so id recommend sticking in an electric tub for those of us who come in the winter. We didn't know how to use the microwave oven but other than that we loved our stay. I also really like the integrated Bluetooth speakers

Had an amazing stay and what a beautiful area. Cant wait to return. What a great place to come and relax and clear your head.

We loved our stay at this shepherds hut, it was beautiful, further away from the property so you feel like you have your own slice of it. Backs onto the river which has a gate you can enter also. Rufus loved running about over the verge and around the grass. The hut itself was perfect, so so clean!! The layout worked perfectly with just enough room to fit Rufus' bed in too. The woodfired hut tub was lovely, and they were super helpful with providing more wood when we needed it. Position was not too far from anything but feels like you're in the middle of nowhere!! We will definitely be coming again and recommending. Thanks for a fab holiday.

Excellent weekend and area was fantastic. Facilities were excellent amd would highly recommned.

Loved our accommodation, and the scenery around the accommodation was beautiful. Unfortunately our stay was cut short because we were involved in a RTA. But aside from that I would definitely recommend staying at this location and property, and Sykes are a great company, would definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay, much needed from the hustle and bustle of day to day life. The property is dog friendly with a large secure garden with stunning views. Situated in a good location for days out to Snowdon and Barmouth. Highly recommend

Georgie

Really lovely stay, such a beautiful area and so private with big enclosed space. However, there were no firefighters box empty for lighting the hot tub on first night bought some the next day and the bed is really not comfy can feel all the springs in the mattress so that was a real shame as otherwise perfect for what we were after

Amazing place and a lovely stay, my dog even made it like home standing at the gate waiting to be let back inside and even made friends with mrs. Lloyd

Me and my partner enjoyed our stay. The location was bliss and tranquil. We enjoyed the relaxing in the hot tub. Listening to the stream flowing absolute paradise. The pod was clean and tidy comfy mattress. We will be definitely be booking again.

Hi, our vacation was very satisfactory.

Stacie

We stayed for a week as 2 adults and a dog, and all had the best time we had to wrestle the dog into the car on the last day as he was very insistent on staying! The cabin is lovely, well laid out with good storage under the bed, the hot tub seems a bit daunting at first but only took an hour from cold to perfect temp, and its so private and peaceful but only 15 minutes from Barmouth and Dolgellau, and just ten minutes to the George III for great pub dinners overlooking the Mawddach estuary. Lots of scenic walks from the end of the lane too. Spent a good portion of our last night looking at Eirlys availability and our work schedules to figure out when we can go back hopefully it wont be too long!

Michael

We had a problem on arrival with no internet this affected tv phone signal . However I contacted the owner and when we returned to the property it was up and working . We booked the property because the photos showed sun loungers in the garden there were none! It doesnt detract from our experience BUT we were disappointed

Mervyn

We had an amazing time. Very quiet which we wanted to. Everything was so good. Thank you to property owners.

Returning for the second year and as before not disappointed. The owners are very friendly and helpful, as we were staying for a week we needed some more logs for the hot tub we rang Claire and purchased 3 bags and she even brought them to the pod for us. This pod with the hot tub is so relaxing and peaceful, it has everything you need for a very enjoyable stay. There is also some lovely walks straight from the pod. We will definitely be returning again. Thank you

Christine

A beautiful self contained pod in a gorgeous rural location. We had a lovely tranquil stay, much needed from the hustle and bustle of day to day life. The property is dog friendly with a large secure garden with stunning views. Situated in a good location for days out to Snowdon and Barmouth.

We had a lovely stay at Eirlys. The pod was lovely, cosy and in a perfect location. The hot tub was amazing, however, keep an eye on the temperature as one night it was too hot to get in. We enjoyed our daily visits from the farm cat, Mrs Lloyd, who was so affectionate. Waking up to the horses and sheep was also lovely. I agree with other reviews, a small curtain above the bed would be beneficial as I was often woke up early from the sun. No complaints with this though. Thank you for our welcome gifts and a lovely stay. It was such a shame we had to cut our trip short and leave 2 days early. Will definitely be back in the future

Lovely pod with everything you need Lovely quite tranquil area would like to ... Lovely pod with everything you need Lovely quite tranquil area would like to mention that the decking would be safer at one level rather than split i tripped over on it a couple of times also the road up to it is long and steep you need a 4x4

The perfect little getaway. The pod was lovely and clean, it had everything in it we couldve needed. It was a good size for the two of us and our dog. Beautiful walks all around us, shops and a great beach just a short drive away. The hot tub was lovely, we used it every night and loved the fact it was so quiet that all you could hear was the stream next to the pod. Would love to visit again, weve come away so relaxed. Thank you!

Lovely pod, nice and clean. Didnt use the hot tub because of the weather, we stayed when we had the storm. The only feedback is it was very dark from the gate to the pod itself as could have some lighting coming down the path. We will come again

Thank you for letting us stay! The lodge is private and cosy with more than enough amenities. The hot tub was amazing too even on a winter night it is delightful! Already excited to stay again.

Absolutely amazing break. It was so clean inside and such a nice location. Have recommended to lots of friends already! Also Mrs Lloyd was a lovely visitor and we popped out to get her some treats.

This was our second visit & will not be our last. Seriously its everything we could want for a short, comfortable & private break. The cabin is well equipped and perfect for a couple & their Doggy. A Hot tub, fire pit barbecue, and secure grounds. The hosts Clare & Gethin make sure you have all you could require, even acknowledging our special moments. If you want to escape & have a break away from working life then this is the place to come to.
