Cyfannedd Fach is a 250 year old stone mountain cottage situated within the Snowdonia National Park, near Arthog (seven miles from Dolgellau) in the part of Gwynedd that was formerly Merionethshire. It stands on its own, 700 feet above the sea in the western foothills of Cader Idris, half a mile from the nearest inhabited house. From just behind the cottage there are magnificent views of the Mawddach estuary, Barmouth and the North Wales coast - the Lleyn Peninsula and Bardsey island. The cottage is about half an hour's drive from Dolgellau along the mountain road past the Creggennen lakes - seven miles and about nine gates.

Cyfannedd Fach is a remote and romantic haven from which it is possible to have a wonderful holiday even when the weather is poor. There are lots of activities and places to visit within a modest drive of the place. There are a large number of excellent pubs and attractive eating places in the neighbourhood and, of course, the cottage is a remarkable centre for a walking or for a beach holiday. We are proud to be able to say that the visitors' books which stretch back over some forty-five years attest to the large number of people who have come to visit Cyfannedd Fach on an almost annual basis because they have become so fond of the place and the enjoyable times it affords.
