“The barn is absolutely the best place I have ever stayed, the pictures don't do it justice.”
It is very tranquil & it was a very relaxing break for the 3 of us there.
It was nice to sit out in the enclosed courtyard listening to the nearby stream & the trees. The garden has a lot more flora & fauna than the website pictures show.
Rooms & facilities were very comfortable & to a very high standard. The upside down living wasn't a problem to us, though you may have to tip toe around if you have differing sleeping patterns.
It was nice that the doors in the bedroom could actually be opened onto the courtyard, so we made use of the patio furniture for morning coffee.
The other adult with us enjoyed watching various World cup games on the comfy sofas & found the WiFi more than adequate for browsing.
We also ventured out & about. I wish I'd known there was a trekking centre 10 minutes away.
We visited Fairbourne beach ( very quiet ) & the Town of Barmouth ( twice ) . Barmouth has a beautiful beach, with a stunning mountain backdrop.
Also visited Harlech Castle. We ventured a little further afield & went to Llandudno, about an hour & a half drive.
Husband & Son went up to the blue lake behind us, a steep walk but they were impressed.
My only niggles would be no pizza tray amongst the very well stocked kitchen ( very minor niggle ) & the fact that I wish I could afford this for 3 weeks in high season, to make the most of the area.
Will certainly re-book the Barn & would also consider a shorter break for my Husband & me in one of the smaller cottages. Would love to visit this site in the Autumn.
