Bennar Fawr, Dyffryn Ardudwy

Bennar Fawr is a massive 10-bedroom holiday lodge in Gwynedd, North Wales. This huge property sleeps up to 24 people with 10 en-suite bathrooms so nobody's fighting for shower time. It sits just half a mile from the beach in a peaceful spot between Harlech and Barmouth. Perfect for big family gatherings where you actually want to avoid each other sometimes.

The grounds are impressive with large gardens front and back. There's a lawn, patio, pond (keep an eye on the kids unless you fancy an impromptu swimming lesson) and two hot tubs for late-night soaks. The property also features a sauna for those who like to sweat before they drink. You'll find plenty to do nearby with Harlech Castle, stunning beaches and mountain walks all within easy reach.

Accommodation includes 6 super-king bedrooms, 1 king-size, 1 twin and a family room with four singles. Most have en-suite facilities with walk-in showers. The kitchen is a chef's wet dream with 3 electric ovens, 2 induction hobs, 2 dishwashers and 2 wine chillers because one is never enough for 24 people.

Within 5 miles you'll find Harlech Castle (15 minute drive), Royal St. David's golf course (15 minutes), Barmouth's sandy beach (12 minutes) and the spectacular Panorama Walk (15 minutes) with views across Cardigan Bay. The local train from Dyffryn Ardudwy makes exploring easy.

Bennar Fawr gives you space to breathe. It's ideal for multi-generation family holidays, friend reunions, or corporate retreats where you need to impress. Just don't forget the wine – those chillers won't fill themselves.
