Coed Cae B&B
Overlooking the Mawddach Estuary in Southern Snowdonia, Wales
ABOUT
Coed Cae Bed and Breakfast run by Graham and Jacky O’Hanlon is set in two acres of woodland overlooking the beautiful Mawddach estuary in the southern reaches of the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.
The B&B lies between Dolgellau and Barmouth in the scattered village of Taicynhaeaf (pronounced Tie-can-hi-ev) at the head of the Cwm-Mynach, the valley of the monks, historically owned by nearby Cymer Abbey.
We are close to the larger village of Bontddu (approximately “Bonthy”), with the 17th century George III Inn just a short walk across the bridge at Penmaenpool.
We have three guest bedrooms (one on the ground floor), each with en-suite or private bathrooms and a large first-floor balconied guest lounge. There is secure storage for bikes, and space to allow wet kit to dry. WiFi is also available free of charge to our guests. We also have a self-catering ShowMan's Wagon on site.
The B&B has a state-of-the-art log-fuelled boiler and accumulator tank which supplies both our central heating and hot water demands. Our firewood is sustainably sourced from our own woodland.
Wood too good to burn is turned into 'Really Rustic' wood products.
A two-port EV charging station is available by prior arrangement for use by guests travelling with an electric vehicle.
We can provide you with packed-lunches and evening meals in addition to Bed and Breakfast, and being keen outdoors enthusiasts ourselves, we can give you pointers on walks, and mountain biking in the area. Alternatively, if you are in need of a less active time, light the log burner, open a book and just enjoy relaxing at Coed Cae.

We have three rooms, a double, a twin and a family room housed within our old Welsh cottage. If you fancy something more exotic, we also have a Fairground ShowMan's Caravan.
