Holiday Cottages in Barmouth — your questions answered

How much do holiday cottages in Barmouth cost?

Three of the seven are under £100 a night, the lowest is £67 and the dearest £199. August goes first, and short breaks are easier to find once the schools go back. Prices climb with the view rather than the size here.

Can we bring the dog?

Six of the seven say yes, with the house rules on each listing. Gwynedd restricts dogs on parts of its beaches between April and September, so read the signs at the access point rather than going on what you remember from last year.

Is there parking?

Parking varies a great deal here. The older lanes on the hillside are narrow and some have no vehicle access at all, while newer places behind the front usually come with a space. The listing states what each one has, and it is worth checking before you set off.

What is there to do on a wet day?

Walk the viaduct and pick up the Mawddach Trail on the far side. It runs level all the way to Dolgellau, and it is one of the best estuary walks in Wales in any weather. Failing that, the train down to Machynlleth or up to Harlech gives you the coast from indoors.

How many will they sleep?

Between two and fifteen. Four of the seven take eight people or more and two suit a couple on their own, so the page covers both ends. Four have sea views, three are marked as family friendly, and two have a hot tub.

Is the beach safe for swimming?

Not supervised, no. Gwynedd puts seasonal beach wardens on its sand, but lifeguarding is not part of the job, and there are no lifeguard patrols anywhere in the county. The RNLI lifeboat at Barmouth is for rescues at sea, not beach cover. The Mawddach runs hard out of its mouth on a falling tide, so stay on the open sand well clear of the channel.

Barmouth has seven holiday cottages and apartments on this page, sleeping from two up to fifteen, with guide prices from £67 a night. Four have a sea view and three are marked as family friendly. The town sits just outside the National Park boundary, on a hillside above three miles of sand. If you would rather have breakfast cooked for you, look at the town's B&Bs and guest houses, or go back to everything in Barmouth.
