Bryn Eglwys

A Sea-View Period Home with Hot Tub near Barmouth

Bryn Eglwys is a splendid, spacious period holiday home on the edge of Barmouth, in the peaceful village of Llanaber, with breathtaking panoramic views across Cardigan Bay. Sleeping up to ten across four bedrooms, dog-friendly and beautifully presented, it combines original character with comfortable, contemporary furnishings — and a truly spectacular sun terrace with a private hot tub looking straight out to sea. For a memorable coastal getaway with family or friends, it is hard to beat.

Characterful, Comfortable Living

Inside, a generous sitting room is the heart of the house, with deep sofas and a feature woodburner-style stove for relaxed evenings together. A welcoming conservatory and a light garden room make the most of the coastal setting, perfect for reading or simply taking in the sea air. The well-equipped kitchen has a handsome range cooker and farmhouse-style dining, adding to the home’s warm, sociable feel. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included, and a travel cot and highchair are available.

Four Comfortable Bedrooms

The four bedrooms comfortably sleep up to ten, with a flexible mix that includes a striking four-poster double, a king-size room and a twin, plus a family room and a bunk room that children will love. Two of the bedrooms have their own en-suite walk-in showers, and there is a further family bathroom — three bathrooms in total. Several rooms enjoy lovely views out across the bay.

Sun Terrace, Hot Tub and Sea Views

The real highlight is the impressive sun-soaked terrace, set over two levels. Perfect for outdoor living, it has a large gas barbecue and spacious seating for the whole group, while the upper level boasts a private hot tub and a bespoke bar area. It is the ultimate spot for dining al fresco, soaking in the hot tub and enjoying uninterrupted sea views towards the Llŷn Peninsula and Bardsey Island — and some of the most spectacular sunsets on the Welsh coast. There is private parking for three cars, and the house is no-smoking throughout.

Barmouth and the Coast

Bryn Eglwys is wonderfully placed for the southern Snowdonia coast. The popular resort of Barmouth (Abermaw), with its long sandy beach, harbour and the famous Barmouth Bridge across the Mawddach estuary, is close by. The Wales Coast Path runs right along this stretch, with the village of Llanaber and miles of sand on the doorstep.

Exploring Southern Snowdonia

There is plenty more within reach. The mountain of Cadair Idris, the beautiful Mawddach Trail for walkers and cyclists, the harbour village of Aberdyfi and the narrow-gauge railways of the area all make memorable days out, with the wider peaks of Snowdonia (Eryri) rising just inland.
