You never tire of the superb views from the conservatory. We booked to take the dogs away from the fireworks, and the peace and tranquility of the location more than met our needs. Superb beaches nearby, which the dogs absolutely loved, and a good range of pubs nearby. The house provides a warm and comfortable welcome upon your return from days out. Barmouth on the train, is a great day out. If we were to return again, then Garna would be top of the list.

Well maintained gardens which were secure for the dogs to explore. Spacious, clean and good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Could do with some more kitchen utensils, especially pans. The location is extremely peaceful and quiet. Had a great time at Garna, so much so that we have booked again for November.
