Glyn Cywarch

This lovingly restored historic home is nestled in a tranquil valley in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park.

Sleeping up to 19, there are stunning interiors throughout, and expansive gardens framed by the hills and mountains beyond.

The spacious living areas feature historic panelling and huge fireplaces for cosy evenings in front of the fire. The stately dining room provides a wonderful space for grand gatherings, and there’s a brilliantly equipped kitchen with a large aga for creating memorable meals.

The serene yoga room in the converted loft offers a sanctuary for relaxation.

There are eleven luxurious bedrooms, each beautifully decorated with antique furnishings. Sumptuous bedding promises a restful night’s sleep after days spent exploring and six well-appointed bathrooms ensure everyone’s comfort.

A further bedroom and bathroom are available separately in the Butler’s Bothy.

The estate is self-catering by default, with a dedicated estate team on hand. However, if you’d like to totally relax and be taken care of when you stay, Glyn Cywarch can be fully staffed upon request.

Outside there are romantic gardens to roam through and relax in. Explore a sunken walled garden with espaliered lime trees and a wildflower meadow, or lose yourself in the fernery, yew walk, or bluebell glade. There are also paths meandering up the hillside taking you through woodlands vibrant with rhododendrons.

Wherever you wander, the stunning scenery of Snowdonia is all around you.

About The Location

Glyn is located off the B4573 between the town of Harlech and the village of Talsarnau.

The closest railway station is Tygwyn (TYG) around a mile away. However, the station is a request stop only and services are infrequent.

If travelling by rail from a major city, there is a station at Bangor, around 34 miles from Glyn Cywarch. You can then book private hire transport to the house.

Things To Do

The house is nestled within a 5,000-acre estate with sandy beaches, mountain lakes, and waterfalls nearby.
