The location between mountains and coast provides endless romantic walking opportunities followed by pub meals in nearby villages.

Celyn Reviews

Absolutely beautiful! Situated perfectly, surrounded by the hills, with its own enclosed garden, perfect for our dog to roam safely. The hut itself has been finished beautifully and is so cosy as well as very clean. Lovely touches such as welcome gifts, complimentary teas, coffee, logs for the hot tub, towels etc. The property is set back and totally private so we could relax in the hot tub in the evening and sit on the veranda looking out onto the pond. We enjoyed waking up to see the sheep and horses in the field, again sitting outside with a morning cuppa before venturing out for a stroll on the nearby Barmouth beach or walking one of the many walks nearby. So peaceful and tranquil, Thankyou for our stay, we will definitely be returning! Our new favourite place!
