About this property

Barmouth 5 miles. A hidden gem, with plenty to offer in a beautiful setting, Gardd Ynys is a wonderful, detached house set within mature grounds and woodland of around one and a half acres. Overlooking the Mawddach Estuary and the Cader Idris Range, it is a fantastic, rural getaway for friends and family wishing to spend time together whilst exploring this beautiful coastline. The traditional farmhouse kitchen has an AGA and a quarry-tiled floor; a fantastic place for family gatherings and planning the day ahead over a morning cup of coffee, or a leisurely breakfast. The loggia, terrace and balcony are perfect places for alfresco entertaining, or for somewhere to simply relax with a good book and enjoy the peace and tranquillity. The first floor sitting room has a high ceiling and exposed purlins, a warming woodburning stove, a picture window and glazed French windows which lead out onto the balcony, letting in lots of light and framing the wonderful views which extend beyond pastureland towards the Mawddach Estuary. There are two twin bedrooms accessed off a split-level landing, plus two king-size double bedrooms on the first floor, the master of which boasts a feature stone wall, an en-suite shower room and dual aspect windows enjoying a wonderful view of the garden and the estuary in the distance. The property is approached through a pillared, wrought iron gated entrance and up a driveway, leading to a substantial expanse of parking. There are large, lawned gardens on the approach. At the front of the cottage, there is a broad, paved terrace with steps down to the more formal lawned garden, affording views of the Cader Idris range and the Mawddach Estuary, with a pond filled with bushes and bordering pastureland. There are numerous seating areas from which to admire the beautiful surroundings, including the sheltered loggia and a picnic table on the raised decking. This whole area is a haven for walkers and climbers, while the coastal town of Barmouth is just five miles away, with a beautiful sandy beach and an array of shops, pubs and restaurants. It is also ideal for sailing and watersports enthusiasts, whilst the area provides some brilliant mountain biking opportunities such as Coed-y-Brenin, the largest mountain bike trail centre in Wales, just nine miles away. Further afield, explore the stunning architectural gem of Portmeirion, take a historical trip to Harlech Castle, or enjoy the industrial heritage of the Blaenau Ffestiniog slate works, its steam railway, ZipWorld Titan or Bounce Below, an underground trampoline. This lovely cottage offers a fabulous, rural retreat and its comfortable accommodation provides an ideal getaway for family and friends alike.

Barmouth is a traditional seaside town surrounded by the Snowdonia National Park. This traditional seaside town boasts a sandy Blue Flag beach which is perfect for families.

    For the first 4 days we had out daughter and two late teenage grandchildren with us. The accommodation suited us well. It was warm and comfortable. We knew the area well and enjoyed the time we were out in the countryside. We would certainly stay again. Our only criticism is that we had difficulty negotiating current programmes on BBC.

    The house was great, lovely well equipped kitchen, good number of bathrooms to bedrooms and fantastic to have two lounges, including the snooker table. The location was good too - secluded but a great base to get to many interesting places. The price was reasonable and reflected the standard of the house - not the height of luxury but more than adequate for an enjoyable holiday. There were a few small issues which we highlighted to Sykes but unfortunately the owners never got back to us which was a shame. We struggled to keep logs in the wood burner burning which was disappointing as it would have been lovely to enjoy the fire in the evenings. The property was clean but would have benefited from a deeper clean to remove cobwebs and blockages in the drains. Overall we had a very lovely stay.

    The kitchen was a delight to work in, We enjoyed the lounge, its view and the log-burner. We especially appreciated the excellent support we had from the owner who did everything possible to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. We hope to return.
