About this cottage rental
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. Two MiRiDER e-bikes are available for hire at the cottage, so if you fancy a ride and to see the sights from a different point of view, then please contact us to book ahead of arrival.
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.
Logs for the woodburner are not included, but you can pre-order logs at time of booking @ £6 per bag (which includes kindling and fire lighters), or they can be purchased directly from the toll keepers.
For more information and bookings please contact Finest Retreats.

Our second visit to the Toll Bridge House, this time for two weeks, and it didn't disappoint. The accommodation was lovely and clean, with welcoming croissants and Welsh cakes. We were a little concerned when storm Amy came, but nothing to worry about. The Toll Bridge staff are really friendly and helpful, and this year we watched the swimmers taking part in the Barmouth Hurly Burly. All in all a fantastic place to stay. Hope to be back in 2026.
The settee is a bit low and uncomfortable. But we put a couple of pillows on there to make it a little better. Otherwise, all great.

The accommodation provides all that you need for a cozy, comfortable stay. All mod cons in a beautiful area. Although the weather did not cooperate the outside lounge area provides excellent views of the estuary

Friendly & helpful staff at the toll booth.
Stunning location.
The property is pet friendly. Unfortunately this meant that my clothes are now covered in dog hair.
The free parking is not a dedicated car park for the cottage- guests are directed to a public car park which is full at peak holiday times.
