Dyffryn Ardudwy 1.7 miles. Resting by the coast near Dyffryn Ardudwy, North Wales is this remarkable, detached house of Bennar Fawr. A historic property that dates back to the 15th century, Bennar Fawr is ideal for a large family celebration or gathering, with its stunning and spacious interiors, outdoor spaces and ample off-road parking for up to 15 cars! You will be wowed by Bennar Fawr's marvellous exterior as you pull up outside; take in the sea breeze and the landscaped gardens before entering the impressive dwelling. After an adventurous day out, there is nothing better than unwinding, and Bennar Fawr provides plenty of that, thanks to its numerous sitting areas, including two well-decorated sitting rooms; both feature TVs. Move across the ground floor to find a spacious snug that can seat all the group, where you can enjoy a catch up over coffee, or perhaps you'd prefer to catch the sunny rays in the conservatory? When you're feeling peckish, make your way to the large kitchen/diner, a very stylish spot that would please any aspiring chef, with its sleek fittings hosting several ovens, hobs, dishwashers and even wine chillers! Gather around the lengthy dining table to enjoy a grand meal with your loved ones, or simply savour a quick meal-to-go at the breakfast bar if you're eager to head out to the beach. After dinner, choose between one of 10 beautifully appointed bedrooms, all enjoying names that reflect the region, with six of these enjoying identical en-suite shower rooms and resting on the ground floor, including five super-king-sizes, with two offering single sofa beds, along with a family room that features four single beds; ideal for the kids! Venture upstairs to find five more bedrooms, with three of these resting in the west wing of the property and enjoying far-reaching views of the sand dunes, including two super-king-sizes sharing access to a fabulous shower room and bathroom, along with a king-size with an en-suite shower room. Continue to the east wing to discover another super-king-size and a twin room that are situated close to an additional shower room. The property also hosts two cloakrooms, to prevent those morning queues. In the morning, the kids can play on the spacious lawns in the front and rear gardens, whilst you unwind in the sauna, summerhouse or the two spacious hot tubs. Benar beach is just moments away from the house, where plenty of fun can be had in the sun and sand; be sure to visit Tal-y-bont afterward, where a hearty meal can be savoured at The Ysgethin Inn. Dyffryn Ardudwy lies a short distance away and hosts all your amenities in one handy spot, including a hotel with a bar/restaurant, supermarket and a handful of intriguing attractions, from the Dyffryn Ardudwy Burial Chamber to the local art gallery.
