The house also has a good stock of games, books and DVDs. For a visual introduction of some of the great things on offer watch the latest Visit Wales video.
Walks, climbing
Too many to mention, some start from the house and you look out onto the dramatic Cadair Idris ridge.
For great views try the Panorama Walk which starts above Barmouth and New Precipice Walk from Llanelltyd.
New Precipice walk has also been designed for easy access for the not so mobile.
For advice and equipment visit the the Cadar Idris Climbing shop in Dolgellau.
Barmouth Slabs are 3 miles away and are a great place to learn to rock climb.

The Mawddach Cycle Trail on the other side of the estuary goes from Dolgellau to Barmouth and is suitable for children.
You can access it at the George V pub/toll bridge (you need to drive 2 miles to avoid cycling on the busy A496).
The area is full of serious mountain bike territory including the world famous Coed y Brenin single track routes .

The Mawddach Estuary is a superb place to watch wading birds and gulls.
There are two RSPB reserves nearby Arthog Bog and Coed Garth Gell.

using ladders, walkways, bridges, massive zip lines and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire.
