About the home
This is a great base for exploring our lovely area: We have lots of walking, cycling, fishing. Other activities such as Go-Ape!, Mountain Biking, White Water Rafting, Kayak-ing, Abseiling, Mine Exploring, Horse Riding and others can also be done easily around here. Bookings can be made on your behalf if you wish me to, in advance, to ensure you are not disappointed.
We have a beach which has lots of rock pools which children love, and a pool at the end of the river, where they can play, The beach is ideal for surfing when conditions are right, all around the year! Fishing from the beach is also popular. It is quite common to see people with bonfires on the beach in the evening, enjoying the sun going down, which are quite dramatic on a regular basis! What nicer way to chill after an active day. Great place for a Tin (10th) Wedding anniversary!

The North Wales / Snowdonia/Gwynedd region


This area is stunningly beautiful, we are close to the Mawddach Estuary, which is spanned by the famous Barmouth Bridge, which takes the Cambrian Railway across to Barmouth from Morfa Mawddach. Cyclists and walkers can also walk across the estuary, on a separate walk way beside the railway. South Snowdonia is often overlooked by visitors as they think that Snowdonia is all about Snowdon, which is, of course,important, but the area around the Cader Idris Range is equally beautiful, yet much less commercialized. Coming here is ideal if you want to escae the hustle and bustle of a busy life.
We have access to many attractions and activities, excellent restaurants, and unspoilt countryside and mountains.
The Tywyn / Llwyngwril area
Llwyngwril is a pretty coastal village, which is served by the Cambrian Railway, which can be reached directly from Birmingham New St, without changing (dependent on which train you get, do ask when booking) and a bus service between Tywyn and Dolgellau, which has connections all over the area.
We have a shingle beach with rock pools for children to play in, some sandy areas which vary with the tides, a pool at the end of the river, which children enjoy playing in, safely. The beach is well known as a good one for experienced surfers, and when conditions are right, many surfers appear around the year, winter and summer alike.
The village has a good village shop, which sells most things, fresh milk, bread, daily papers, and groceries. There is a pub, the Garthangharad, which has a restaurant, which serves good pub food. In high season, it is advisable for visitors to book a table so that they are not disappointed. There are excellent restaurants around the area, and a local Dining Guide gives details of these restaurants.
There is access to many activities, Mountain biking at Coed y Brenin, Go-Ape at Coed y Brenin, Horse riding near Fairbourne, (includes Beach rides), Walking, Fishing, Abseiling, Climbing, Kayaking and Canoeing, Bush crafts, White Water Rafting, and much more. Information can be provided about these activities their locations and booking details.
Fairbourne Beach is a long sandy beach, when the tide is out there is a vast expanse of sand, and near ThePoint, which is right opposite Barmouth (very close,too!) there are sand dunes for children to play in, providing shelter from breezes for picnics, bonfires etc. There is a small ferry here in the main holiday times, which takes you across to Barmouth. All along the back of the beach is Fairbourne Narrow Guage Railway, which you can catch from the village up to the Point (and back!). There is a 9 hole Golf course in the beautiful estuary of the Mawddach at Fairbourne also, with a clubhouse with restaurant/cafe facilities.

You will see Llwyngwril Gallery ahead of you, which is a green building looking like it was a chapel. You will go past the Gallery and where the road sweeps around to the right, in front of the pub, to go over the bridge. Do not go over the bridge, you will stay on the road going straight ahead, and go up the hill (Ffordd y Coleg). You will see ahead of you some large iron gates, and a track goes up just past there.
