Bara House

About this property

This lovingly renovated property sparkles amongst the dramatic backdrop of the Snowdon Mountains and stunning view of Borth Wen Bay. With space for up to twelve guests, and a larger sister property available to book too, large family groups can come together to celebrate and enjoy the tasteful décor, hot tub, private tennis court and coastal walks on offer.

The first floor holds the main living space enabling guests to enjoy the impressive views at their best. A large outdoor terrace with seating and BBQ connects through floor to ceiling windows to the open-plan living space. The well-equipped kitchen with twelve-seater dining area benefits from a huge floor to ceiling window that allows you to enjoy your meals without missing out on the glorious outdoors. Everything you need to host a party is provided with a large breakfast bar island, perfect for catching up over a coffee and croissant, also included is a Rangemaster oven, Insinkerator, two dishwashers, two washing machines, a dryer and a wine fridge, what more could you need?  

A spacious living room opens up to the terrace and holds a large wood-burner and squishy sofas for days when the weather is choosing to be difficult, whilst younger members of the group will flock to the Games Room to make the most of the games consoles, DVD library and Satellite TV!

Sleeping accommodation is spread across the ground floor and first floor, allowing easy access options for those who need it. Two super-king bedrooms complete with en-suite and patio doors allow you to step out and enjoy the crisp morning air coming off the bay each day. Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom with en-suite and a fantastic nautical themed bunk room that will delight the youngest members of your family, particular as it includes a Nintendo library, TV and chill out sofa! The remaining two large double bedrooms can be found on the first floor and share a family bathroom with shower and excellent sunken bath for luxurious soaks in the bubbles. Zip and link beds mean that most rooms can be adapted for your party, plus cosy under floor heating in all bathrooms mean the emphasis can remain firmly on the comfort and happiness of guests.

The exceptional outdoor area has something for everyone be it a large family BBQ on the terrace, an indulgent soak in the hot tub or just some chill out time in the modern hanging chairs. Shared with the neighbouring property a private tennis court is at the guest’s disposal, plus goals for football and a table tennis table, keeping the more competitive amongst you entertained and occupied!

With the beach just a ten-minute walk away, access to sand and sea is easy with lovely coastal walks easily accessed from your front door. There is much to see and do in one of the most visually striking parts of Wales, if you can tear yourself away from the excellent amenities on offer at Osprey House.

Set in its own delightful grounds Bara House benefits from breath-taking vistas at every angle. Watch the sunrise over nearby Borth Wen Bay, within easy walking distance, ideal for enjoying a lovely coastal walk or getting stuck in with a bucket and spade. Backed by sand dunes this is a lovely safe beach where children can paddle or stretch their legs with the circular walk along Rhoscolyn beach towards the headland.  

If you are looking for a night off from cooking, then we recommend a trip to the excellent local pub, The White Eagle. A real hidden gem, this pub is often referred to as the best on the island, with an elevated outdoor terrace, mouth-watering roasts and a selection of ales, all complimented by a stunning view, just two minutes from your door.

For a day trip out why not visit the only working windmill in Wales at Llynon Mill?  Built in 1775 the mill still produces wholemeal flour, whilst two neighbouring roundhouses provide a unique insight into the farming practise and lifestyle of the Iron Age. There is also a wonderful on-site café to grab some lunch or a slice of cake during your visit.

If you want to get out on the waves, we recommend a visit to Beaumaris Pier to grab a boat trip to Puffin Island. Skippers will steer you past the seal colony and seal cave at Penmon Point lighthouse, whilst the Island itself has a plethora of birdlife from cormorants, guillemots and of course puffins! If you are lucky you may even spot bottlenose dolphins or harbour porpoises swimming by.

A trip into the Snowdonia national park is a must during your stay. Whether you are looking to climb the highest peaks or just take in the natural beauty of the National Park there is something for everyone. We recommend the Llyn Cwellyn Boardwalk trail, an easy access lakeside walk that meanders between two soaring mountain peaks.  If hiking isn’t your thing then why not hop on board the seasonal Snowdon Railway, surely one of the most picturesque train rides in the world, with stunning scenery and awe-inspiring views you can ride the rail right to the summit without any exertion needed!
