Tan Y Bryn is a grade II listed cottage, built circa 1864, in the heart of a small, friendly village nestled against the wooded hillsides of the Dyfi valley and backed by Cader Idris.
Corris is situated midway between Machynlleth & Dolgellau.
Set in an area of outstanding beauty, the outdoors is on your doorstep and offers a wide range of activities and attractions: biking, walking, wild swimming, beaches, castles, narrow gauge railways. Or simply enjoy village life in the organic cafe and real ale pub a minute’s walk away.
The living / dining area has a large rustic dining table and contemporary chairs. On arrival, a welcome tray and a homemade bara brith will be waiting to get your holiday off to a relaxing start. Also provided is a basket of seasoned logs with kindling for a cosy night in front of the wood burner.
The fully fitted kitchen has a washer/dryer, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. Cooking is on a responsive ceramic hob with double electric oven. There is a full sized fridge-freezer. The kitchen has a Chilli Penguin wood burning stove which features a small top oven.
The cottage comfortably sleeps 2-4, in its two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and one with two standard singles. White cotton bed linen makes for a good night’s sleep in the handmade solid oak beds.
Like many properties in Corris the garden and parking are separate to the cottage. These are ca.100m from the cottage. There is a dedicated parking spot for one car but plenty of parking within the village. Outdoor furniture is provided to enjoy the summer sun. The garage is secure for storing bikes and other equipment.
Tan y Bryn has retained many original features. Downstairs, the natural slate flagstones are reminiscent of the area’s industrial heritage, whilst the bedrooms have the original wooden floorboards. Feature fireplaces, exposed beams and an old tucked away bread oven all add further character to the cottage. The fully fitted kitchen has a washer/dryer, microwave, coffee maker and toaster.
