Big House By The Sea

Big House By The Sea Sleeping up to 30 guests under one roof, Tŷ Gwyn is the perfect place for Hen Do's, Yoga Retreats & Special Celebrations!
(1)

The best things in life are the people you meet, the places you’ve been and the memories you’ve made along the way…. so make yours a trip to remember at Ty Gwyn, the Big House by the sea! Ty Gwyn – which sleeps up to 30 - overlooks Llwyngwril (pronounced hlwin-goo-ril), a beautiful coastal village situated on the stunning coast of north-west Wales just south of Barmouth. It’s perfect for big famil

y parties, special occasions and retreats. If you’re an adrenaline ju**ie then Ty Gwyn is the place for you, with water sports, mountain biking trails and the fastest zip line in the world all on your doorstep. If you’re looking for peace and tranquility then there are beautiful walks by the beach, and in the nearby mountains and forests of the Snowdonia National Park. Does even that sounds like too much effort? If so Ty Gwyn has its own sauna, hot tub and cinema. We recommend you enjoy a lovely meal together, toast marshmallows on the large open-air fire pit, and let the real world just float away as you watch the amazing sunset.

Watched a Christmas film too many? Or are the leftovers not sitting so well? We think it's time for a post-festive stroll to go out and get some fresh air! 🫣

Here are some of our favourites near Llwyngwril! 🤗

𝐋𝐥𝐰𝐲𝐧𝐠𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 ✨
A pebbled beach just a 15 minute walk from Ty Gwyn. As the tide goes out it reveals a large number of rock pools. On the right conditions the beach can produce some good waves, making it popular for surfing, although a number of boulders in the water can pose a risk so surfing here it is best left to experienced surfers!

𝐂𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐬 ✨
One of the best walks in Wales, in our opinion, and better than Yr Wyddfa. It can be challenging at points, so if you ever plan to walk in the Winter, ensure you are aware of the weather and stay safe.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐰𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥 ✨
A walk just 5 minutes from Ty Gwyn! You can park up at Morfa Mawddach train station and walk across the railway bridge to Barmouth. Or you can catch the train from Llwyngwil to Barmouth and walk from there!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤 ✨
The Precipice has a fantastic array of qualities. The path will take you through part of the Nannau estate which dates back to the 12th century and is steeped in fascinating Welsh history. The route ends on the shores of Llyn Cynwch—a working reservoir that provides nearby Dolgellau with water. Although the path stands at 800ft above sea level, there is little climbing and descending along the route.
