This romantic one bedroom barn conversion near Barmouth commands stunning sea views over the Cambrian bay coastline. A private patio and garden provides the perfect platform from which to enjoy the surrounding countryside while a tastefully furnished interior affords all the convenience of a modern holiday cottage.
A stone step leads us through a glass doorway. A living flame gas fire sits on a welsh slate hearth to your right. A luxurious leather sofa sits to your left (don’t ask how we got the sofa through the narrow entrance). An impressive stone opening reaching from floor to ceiling takes us into a small dining area. The circular dining table and chairs must have one of the best views in Wales.
Turning back into the main living area we circle the central staircase to get to the kitchen area. The kitchen is small but well equipped and includes a combination oven, grill and microwave and electric hop, fridge and dishwasher. An adjacent ground floor bathroom has a modern white bathroom suite with power shower.
As steep wooden staircase leads us up into the vaulted ceiling of the barn. The stairway has an alternating step design so may not suit guests with mobility problems. The original and exposed oak beams of the barn flank a low slung king sized bed. White Egyptian cotton sheets and an uninterrupted view of the setting sun ensures a comfortable and romantic end to your day.

A large shared car park with bike storage facilities is exited via a private pathway that leads down to a beautiful secluded garden. A large patio with outdoor table and chairs eventually gives way to an expanse of lawn with uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. Neighbouring farm animals are a popular distraction but guests should make the effort to explore the surrounding countryside either by foot or in the car.
There are lots of walks that can be enjoyed from the farm. There are maps and guides available in the cottage. Guests can wonder up to the rugged Rhinog Mountains or meander down through the village, which is about a mile from the farm, then on to the miles of sandy beaches that we have in this part of North Wales.
The village provides all the basic needs for our guests. There’s a small grocery store, an excellent butchers, a post office, a garage and two cafés. If you want more choice a 15-minute journey in the car will take you to the bustling seaside town of Barmouth. A 15-minute drive to the north will take you to the renowned castle town of Harlech. Both towns have a slightly larger selection of shops, cafes and restaurants.
This part of north wales is of course famous for outdoor activities. You can be zip lining at 100mph eighty feet above the ground in the morning and exploring historic slate caverns one mile below ground in the afternoon. Spend one-day white water rafting down the fierce Tryweryn River and the next climbing up the steep slopes of Wyddfa (Snowdon). You might prefer to throw yourself down the testing mountain biking trails of Coed Y Brenin or you might prefer a more relaxing day riding the narrow gauge Ffestiniog Steam train up to Tan Y Bwlch. The worlds your lobster here in Eryri (Snowdonia)!

Byrdir sits above the village of Dyffryn Ardudwy, 5 miles between Harlech and Barmouth on the Cambrian coast road the A496.
From the south (Barmouth) take the A496 to the village of Dyffryn Ardudwy. Driving through the village look out for the brown sign on your right signposted for Byrdir 1 mile. Drive exactly one mile up the hill. Go through a gate on your right and head down the hill and then up the other side. Go past ‘Ty Mawr’ and the cowsheds and follow the road round to the right until you get to Byrdir (dead end). Once you have parked up, walk past the duck pond before turning left down the hill towards Melin.

<div>We'll leave the keys in the door for you, but come over to the main house to say a quick hello if you get a chance.<br /> <br /> <strong>Hot Tub</strong><br /> The wood burning hot tub is very much a "hands on experience" as it isn't the electric instant switch-on kind. On arrival, you will need to fill the hot tub with fresh water, then light the wood burner and wait for it to heat up. You do have to make sure you make a roaring fire and during the colder winter months, this needs to be done a few hours ahead of using of the hot tub.<br /> You'll be supplied with a starter bundle of logs, kindling, matches, firelighters and newspaper to start you off. More logs will be needed and can be purchased from the owner or you're welcome to bring your own. Enjoy!</div>
