Superb B&B tucked away down a pretty rural valley on a working farm not far from Dolgellau. The rooms are large and well appointed with the only real downside being squeaky floorboards. The hostess is super welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is so good it could probably last you the whole day.

Wow, what a place. Stayed there last week. The views outside are amazing. So close to so many walks and vistas. The rooms are very nice, very clean and also have views to die for. Olwen who is the owner is a lovely amazing woman. A great host with knowledge of the area spilling out of her. She will advise you on the walk for you. Olwen also gives you advice on the local restaurants. The breakfast was 5 stars in my book. More food then one can manage. So yes, if you want tranquillity with a spot of hiking then this is the place.

This is a lovely B&B in a beautiful location, right at the base of Cadair Idris. We chose this B&B on the recommendations of friends, and we were not disappointed. The room was lovely and well-appointed, with a fabulous area to sit, relax and enjoy quiet and nature. The breakfast was beyond description. Olwen is the perfect hostess, providing her guests with a fabulous breakfast featuring homemade preserves, nutrient-packed smoothies, crunchy homemade muesli, and a full hot menu. She also went out of her way to give us recommendations for awesome walks and must-see sights. Being a working sheep farm, it was also fascinating to see the workers in action (and wondering how they got all those sheep down from the mountainside!). Absolutely recommend!

Well looked after by friendly owner. Clean large ensuite room. Peaceful and scenic. Ideal place to stay if you are planing walking up Cadair Idris. Photo is from room.

What a lovely place to stay!!!! Sitting at the base of Cadir Idris itself, if your looking for peace and quiet, this is a place to strongly consider. And if you've never had a three course breakfast before, you will most pleasantly surprised as to what is to offer. The landlady is the most loveliest and most helpful person and knows the area like the back of her hand. Proudly Welsh, she is a grm of a person. It is a fully working sheep farm but you could never tell if you didn't see the sheep running across a well tarmaced road. The internet may not be the best, not surpising given the location, but there is so much to do and the mobile service does work better outside. We had appalling weather but still had a lovely time. There are lots of quaint places to eat out at in the evening at the Dolgellau square, a place that is steeped in history of its own dating back to the 800's. There's a courthouse, an old jail and even a parliament building. Tydden Mawr is very well situated and one can easily get to many walks at 20-30 mins drive(I know, very ironic putting both things in the same sentence), and very lovely walks too. You will get a better booking rate by calling the landlady youself. Do give it a try. I am sure you will love it as much as we did. And the pics are directly off the property. You get these directly out of your window.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for nearly a week! we extended our stay we were so blown away by Olwen our host. She is full of incredible knowledge on the surrounding area and suggested so many wonderful walks located in the most stunning location right at the base of Cadair Idris mountain range. She also gave us all information on all of the recommended beautiful local restaurants just a couple of miles away in the small quaint and beautiful town of Dolgellau and wow what a breakfast! Every single morning we were presented with a choice of homemade cereal, jams, croissants, fruit and a full cooked breakfast. I was even offered a variety of vegetarian options for my dietary requirements. If you want a peaceful, tranquil break away in the most stunning location ! This place is just a must! We will be back. Thank you for the most wonderful and memorable stay. Emily and James (the meditation teacher)
