Peaceful and beautiful location with sea views
Reviewers were impressed with this hotel's location in a charming Victorian building boasting superb views of the estuary, harbour and coast. Many said it was tranquil too. Motorists welcomed the free parking and straightforward access to beauty spots and attractions throughout beautiful Snowdonia National Park. There was reportedly easy pedestrian access to the town centre, railway station and Barmouth Bridge for leisurely strolls across the River Mawddach, although there was a steep hill to negotiate on the return journey.
