Finest Retreats | Toll Bridge Cottage

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.

Fabulous position. Very Helpful assistance. No manual for dishwasher which had a weird method of setting and needed salt. The minutest thimble bottle of washing up liquid , hand wash, etc seemed very petty for our use. So had to buy on day 1. Shame as otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.
