Two Bedroom Holiday Beach Retreat Near Barmouth | Bwthyn-Bennar

Had a lovely time relaxing time in this beautiful cottage. The hosts were very welcoming. The location could not have been better, just a short walk to the Bennar beach, with plenty of other beaches, restaurants and pubs close by. The weather was very kind to us with beautiful starry evenings (including shooting ones) and the Northern Lights put in an appearance for us. Would highly recommend this quality accommodation – a home away from home.

Thank you once again for a lovely stay at this delightful cottage. Tony was very welcoming and attentive throughout our stay, and any requests we had were resolved swiftly (such as providing us with a lighter duvet for the warmer nights :-)). Thank you also for the welcome gifts of bread, milk and cheese – very much appreciated.

During our visit, we enjoyed walking along the promenade in Barmouth, with a delicious ice cream from Knickerbockers at the end of it, and we hopped on the train from Dyffryn Ardudwy to Machynlleth to take in the beautiful scenery. We also found a lovely bistro called Hafan Llwyfen at the Estuary Lodge in Talsarnau – great quality food at a very reasonable price.

Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Amazing stay at this beautiful cottage! So lovely and really close to the most incredible beach – about a 10-15 minute walk away. Dog friendly too.
Really spacious cottage. Owners have thought of everything and I really can’t fault our stay. The bed was so comfortable and everywhere was so clean.
We will definitely be back!

What a perfect little place for a really relaxing break. We had everything we needed and more. One very minor issue was dealt with immediately by Sarah and Tony. Loved the area and proximity to everything. The beaches were fab for dog walks and the weather was very kind. We would love to return again

We had a great week long stay and got really lucky with the weather for the beginning of March- lots of sunshine and the added bonus of hardly anyone on the fabulous beach close by.

The cottage is very well equipped and had everything we needed. We were impressed by the welcome basket which you can actually have some say in what is included. Bathroom was spotless with a great shower. Kitchen immaculate with everything you need, although a spare tea towel is useful when staying a week (this was immediately provided when we asked). All the bedding was immaculate. We found the beautiful winter duvet did its job too well and Tony and Sarah very kindly swopped it for a lighter one for us, which was much appreciated.
Hosts are on site and there if needed and are very welcoming and friendly. Our dog was also made to feel very welcome.
Would thoroughly recommend it and we will be going back again.

We very much appreciated the welcome and show around by Tony and also the generous welcome pack. The barn has been well renovated. Our stay was in January and it was very warm and cosy. The double bed is comfortable and the bedlinen and towels are very good quality. We particularly liked the sensor lighting that runs the length of the hall!
We had a lovely lunch in The George lll in Penmaenpool – as recommended by Tony.

It would be handy to have a hook on the bathroom door. The recycling unit in the kitchen cupboard needs to be more clearly labelled. Also, a separate food waste bin with a lid would be better to prevent the food odours escaping.

We really enjoyed our stay and have re booked for a week in June.

Lovely stay in such a cosy cottage and had everything we needed. Spotless throughout. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great week’s stay at this lovely cottage. Peaceful location, very comfortable and well equipped. Friendly host. We enjoyed being able to walk to local beaches from the cottage and also being within easy driving distance to Criccieth, Harlech, Barmouth and Dolgellau. Would definitely recommend.

We only managed to stay for 2 nights on this, our first visit to Bwthyn Bennar, but nevertheless managed to enjoy the benefit of again experiencing this beautiful location, which we have been visiting for many years.
The cottage has been renovated to a high standard and was warm, comfortable and inviting with spacious dining area and lounge with 2 good new settees. Log fire was available and we used this for effect on our first night as storm Agnes was in full flow outside!
Quality large tiled floor throughout so suitable for pets. The high spec kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, quality towels and bed linen were spotless. Bathroom was spacious and shower was excellent, large electric towel rail available.
The owners Tony & Sarah live on site and were friendly and helpful. Generous welcome pack including bread, pastries, milk, bacon and eggs.
Beautiful Bennar Beach is 20 minutes walk along Ffordd Benar.
We will definitely be returning again as this is the best holiday cottage we have found so far

Had a lovely time relaxing time in our beautiful cottage. Sarah and Tony are delightful hosts. The location could not have been better, just a short walk to the Bennar beach, with plenty of other beaches, restaurants and pubs close by. Added to which the weather was kind. We couldn’t have chosen a better location . Many thanks to Sarah and Tony

Had a wonderful stay at BWTHYN-BENNAR accommodation excellent, owners greeted us on arrival, very friendly showed us around, stating if there was anything we needed just to let them know. Weather was amazing had a wonderful time.

Having stayed in Bwthyn-Bennar many times over the years, returning here was like a homecoming for all of us – and we were not disappointed. Tony and Sarah are lovely, welcoming hosts, and they’re doing a great job renovating the property. The cottage was clean and spacious, the kitchen and bathroom very impressive, and it makes such a nice change to have all the utensils you need for cooking! We were very fortunate to have warm sunny weather throughout our stay, so we enjoyed a couple of train rides to Machynlleth and Pwllheli (well worth the money), and rounded off the holiday with fish and chips in Barmouth. Thank you so much, we’ll definitely be returning in the near future!

We arrive at the property greeted by the host. Very welcoming. The cottage was lovely very clean and comfortable. There was a full set of different drinks (teas coffees and hot chocolate) plus breakfast eggs bacon milk & bread. Lots of information on where to eat and cafe’s that are dog friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely rebook back again

Had a fantastic stay. Very comfortable accomodation, stylishly renovated and well equipped. The hosts were very pleasant and welcoming. Just a short walk from the beach and the local pub. We were left milk, bread, local eggs and bacon.Would definitely recommend.

A fantastic few days away with my daughter and parents in very comfortable accommodation. Weather was terrible but having somewhere cosy with everything we needed and more made the long weekend relaxing.
Some where we will definitely like to return to.

We recently returned from a short break at Bwthyn-Bennar. The property has been beautifully renovated. We felt very cosy in the evenings as we used the wood burner, although the property has a very efficient heating system which we were grateful for as the weather was chilly & overcast but, after all, it was February.
There is a lovely seating area outside with good views & it will come into its own when the weather is warmer.
Bennar beach is delightful & the walk from the property to it is lovely.
We very much hope to return.

The information before arrival was great. Tony was there to welcome us and show us everything. We were 4 friends staying for a weekend of relaxing and having a few glasses of wine and lovely food and the cottage had everything we needed.
The beds were comfortable as was the cottage overall.
Loads to do locally and in the area. Living only 90mins away it’s an area we know well and this is a diamond of a cottage we hope to come to again together and with our families.

Thanks for sharing it with us Tony and Sarah x

Fabulous place, enjoyed our stay very much, so did our 4 legged companions. Great location, everything we needed including dog and human treats! Definitely recommend this place to stay. Thanks for a lovely long Birthday weekend 🥳

We had a fantastic stay, the cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. Great location with lovely views and a beach within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely cottage, great layout , great location, you can walk to the beach and it’s just beautiful. I would recommend this for a holiday any time of the year. Helpful owners who are there if you need them but respect your privacy.
