Beautiful area

This home is in a scenic location.
Come and stay above an art gallery in Eryri National Park located between the mountains and the sea.

The Ocean Room (Ystafell Cefnfor) is a spacious room with double and single bed with the benefit of distant sea views from your room. You can expect a friendly welcome from your host; with complimentary fair-trade/organic teas, coffee, biscuits and light help yourself breakfast.

This is the ideal place to explore Eryri National Park. Perfect for creatives, walkers, nature lovers and explorers!

The space
The apartment is located in a rural Welsh Village with excellent facilities, and offers quirky boutique accommodation above my art gallery.

The property benefits from seas views and is a traditional stone built property dating back to the early 1900s. The guest accommodation is split over two floors with living room on the first floor and bedrooms above.

Guest access
Guests can access free wifi, which is excellent. There are no TVs in the bedrooms so please bring iPad or Laptop with your own entertainment. There is growing selections of games, books, tour guides and maps to use during your stay.

Guests have a separate access to the property from the gallery, with lockable doors on their rooms. Guests have the added benefit of enjoying the Reading Room in the evenings for music, stories, games, reading and entertainment from 5pm. There is a help yourself breakfast available in the morning between 7.00am - 9.30am.

There is also a small courtyard garden to enjoy the morning sunshine.

This is the perfect place to enjoy the stunning surroundings. The village has lots of facilities including good public transport links, a post office and food stores. We are also very close to Barmouth and Harlech, which has lots of options for more eating out, entertainment and exploring.

Other things to note
I recommend parking in the free Car Park a 1 minute walk away and loading/unloading at the front of the property of travelling by car.

There is a train station in the village with direct access to Birmingham and beyond. The G23 Bus travels between Barmouth and Porthmadog during the day which is ideal for walkers exploring the Llwybr Cadfan, Taith Ardudwy and Welsh Coastal Path.

The beach is within walking distance and a wonderful temperate rainforest is also close by as well as ancient landmarks and sites.

I promote this space as a comfortable environment for all and guests must be happy to access stairways due to layout of the building. I like to use eco cleaning products for the house and laundry and avoid chemicals.

All guests staying here play an important part in supporting our arts programme here. A big thank you for supporting us, our artists and our community.​​​ 2025 is the first year welcoming over night guests back since the pandemic.

A warm welcome and a new adventure awaits....

Neighbourhood highlights

The village is perfectly located to explore the region. The property is located on the main A road between the mountains and the sea in Snowdonia National Park. The beautiful beach is accessible with a 30-minute walk or short drive. Directly behind the house, guests can pick up the Ardudwy Way which is 24 mile stunning walk that runs from Barmouth to Llandecwyn and takes in some of the best views in Wales steeped in Welsh folklore with prehistoric sites, varied vegetation and rare birds. More information can be viewed here http://www.taithardudwyway.com.

There is also the Merionnydd Coast walk, which is 69 miles in total starting at Aberdovey to Porthmadog and walkers arrive at Talybont, which is very close to the property for stop overs. This walk really takes in some breathtaking sites and similarly to the Ardudwy Way can be done in stages. There are also many beautiful walks available in the region so this truly is a walker’s paradise.

Ty Meirion also benefits from being on the route 8 cycle journey, which runs from Cardiff to Holyhead.

There are also quite a few attractions located within an easy day trip from Ty Meirion. Please check out the guidebook.
