Llwyndu Farmhouse Hotel stands at the base of the Rhinog Mountains overlooking Cardigan Bay with stunning views over the Lleyn Peninsula and just a couple of miles north of Barmouth on the coast of Snowdonia. Peter & Paula Thompson would like to extend a very warm welcome to you and invite you to spend a few days of relaxation in an area of stunning beauty...

The old farmhouse, a grade II listed building was built sometime between 1585 and the early 1600s has been restored to provide very comfortable ensuite accommodation in some very interesting rooms with beams, inglenooks, a stone spiral staircase and a great sense of history. We also have a converted granary with further bedrooms. The accommodation is combined with an informal and cheery welcome, good food and a selection of reasonably priced wines. All designed to make your stay in these parts both a pleasure and memorable. More on Llwyndu

Barmouth itself is a quiet fishing resort for much of the year. Situated on one of the most beautiful estuaries in Britain, the Mawddach, you couldn't wish for a better spot as a centre for exploring the region. There are interesting walks in and around and up and above the town, boat trips leave from the harbour and the beaches are so vast you can always find a quiet place to stroll. Quiet valleys and mountains rivers beckon while small towns and villages entice and many attractions wait to fill your time.

If you have not been to this part of Wales before you are in for a real treat. As we're off the beaten tracks of Snowdonia itself you will be pleasantly surprised by the quieter roads and the space and freedom on the hills and beaches.
We are happy to help plan your days and we have a number of books, leaflets, maps which you can use to get the most
out of your stay with us

William Wordsworth described Barmouth thus, " I took a boat and rowed up its sublime Estuary, which many compare with the finest in Scotland. With a fine sea view in front, the mountains behind, the glorious Estuary running eight miles inland, and Cader Idris within compass of a day's walk, Barmouth can always hold its own against any rival." 1824

The shot above shows Barmouth and its wooden railway bridge, Grade II Listed. It has a footpath that will take you over the mouth of the Mawddach Estuary. This will lead you to a wonderful route along the old disused railway line and hugs the river for almost 9 miles in total. Beautiful vistas and a level path suit an easy stroll or cycle ride.

The hills that surround the Mawddach Estuary extend to the Cadair Idris range to the south and northwards to the Rhinogs rise up behind us at Llwyndu. Starting from here or Barmouth you can explore all of these hills and the special thing about them is that we do not have the throngs of people that regularly tramp up Snowdon and other popular peaks. If peace & quiet, even solitude, is your aim then the walking will suit you perfectly.

"I'm Bob Moates. Wife is Jane. We had breakfast with 'yall recently in North Wales at a place that I can't spell, but remember vividly as the nicest and most interesting of all during our 1,458 mile tour of England (and Wales)." From a letter from one guest to another who had met at Llwyndu for a night in 1994.
