About this property
This detached holiday home is in a slightly elevated position on the outskirts of Llanaber, near Barmouth and commands spectacular sea views over the Cambrian Bay coastline. Bright, spacious and clean living rooms and large bedrooms, combined with a brilliant coastal location make this cottage the perfect family getaway. Hendre Wylan boasts a well presented interior with soft fabrics and neutral décor in whites, creams, blues and greys, all befitting for a seaside holiday, with sea views enjoyed for most rooms. The sitting room has an amazing sea view, where on those warm summer evenings you can open up the patio doors to enjoy the fresh sea air. A second sitting room/games room is bound to be a favourite with children, a large TV with games console, a selection of games, board games and DVDs are sure to help the adults have a quiet 10 minutes after a hectic day of sightseeing and building sand castles! The kitchen with dining area is a great space to enjoy family meals together. The dining area has a large solid wood dining table with matching chairs and the kitchen is sleek, well-appointed and modern ensuring the cook of the family is happy and content. Finally, on the ground floor, a convenient utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor, there are five beautifully furnished and individually styled bedrooms upstairs, with the master boasting the addition of an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over as well as a toilet and basin. There’s plenty of outside seating at Hendre Wylan, at the rear there is a small rear garden but it’s at the front you'll spend most of your time, either on the raised patio area or front facing lawn, taking in the sea air and views, watching the sun ark across the sky dipping over the horizon, the perfect ending to a busy day. The popular seaside town of Barmouth is a couple of miles to the south, just about walking distance if you fancy stretching your legs one evening. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from in the town as well as the usual selection of seaside shops and attractions. There are naturally lots of walks in the area, many of which can be accessed right from the cottage. Circular routes such as the Panorama Walk and the Precipice Walk are a short drive away as are the higher peaks of Cader Idris, the Rhinog Mountains and of course, Mount Snowdon. This welcoming Llanaber cottage is an excellent base from which to enjoy this renowned coastline and fabulous surrounding countryside, which is famous for its hill and coastal walks, wonderful beaches, water sports, golf, the medieval castle at Harlech and the beautiful Snowdonia mountains. A lovely cottage, perfect for an all year round family holiday.
The village of Llanaber resting between Barmouth town and the World Heritage Site of Harlech is surrounded by the breath-taking views of the Snowdonia National Park. It also overlooks the Cardigan Bay and the Llyn Peninsula beyond. The area is known for its beaches, fishing, golf, walking, sailing, cycling, mountain biking and horse riding and has ready access to mountains of Snowdonia.

Perfect for a large family group. The view from the front patio was beautiful, perfect for the lively Wales sunsets. Plenty big enough for our family of 10 and the playroom was a big bonus allowing the adults a bit of personal space

Kitchen was well equipped for cooking which we did throughout our week the gardens to front is ample for the children to play where we could see them and an enclosed garden at the back for the dogs to play. The owners were excellent at providing information for us and very responsive when we needed them to fix a handle on a door that had worked loose will definately be back next year

You will be hard pressed to find anywhere better. The views from four bedrooms of the sea are amazing and the twin room enjoys a lovely view of the mountain behind. The kitchen and lounge also share fantastic sea views. The place is spacious so the nine of us (adults) were never under each others feet. It is equipped with nearly everything you'd need. Take something to cover microwave bowls though as there weren't any. It was lovely to be able to all sit outside on the balcony and eat at the table on the rattan furniture when the sun shone! (Not shown in listing pictures.) It was a little difficult to find as sat nav didn't take us straight there so What3Words might be better to use. We fitted 5 cars on the driveway (mix of sizes) without obstructing the roadway so plenty of room there too. We used this as a base for visiting Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) as it was only an hour or so away. We would love to return the next time we are all getting together for a birthday celebration!! Thanks to the owners for opening your home to us.
