Romantic One Bedroom Barn Conversion Near Barmouth | Melin-Byrdir

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.

Location

 

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)!

A great place to enjoy the Mid Wales coast and countryside. Very comfortable and so lovely and quiet. Eggs and lemon cake were appreciated. Even had friendly hens pecking at the door.

Great location in the Eyri National Park. Lots to do just a short drive away. Cottage was a great base after a long day of walking with the hot tub being a great place to relax in the evening. Would recommend.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay here. The cottage was well equipped, cosy and clean. The views are second to none and the hot tub area is very private and away from the view of other cottages. The lemon drizzle on arrival was a lovely touch! Would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet get away.

We had an absolutely amazing time. It felt like a home away from home and had everything we needed from a comfy bed to a warming gas fire. The barn is beautifully decorated and located in such picturesque surroundings (with chickens, ducks and sheep for neighbours), we had a hard time leaving at the end of our stay. The location was perfect for us and we enjoyed our evening meals at the pubs in Barmouth, which is only a short car ride away, and our day trips to Anglesey and Snowdonia. If you are thinking about visiting the area, you could not pick a better place to stay!

Perfect little birthday getaway at Melin-Byrdir this week. The cottage is not only a great base for travel all around North Wales, but also such a cosy place to spend time. Warm and welcoming with fresh eggs and delicious home-made lemon drizzle cake left for us. The bed is super comfy up in the loft with a great view to wake up to every morning from the window opposite. Peaceful and private location amongst the other cottages, with welcome visits from chickens, ducks and dogs, as well as a gorgeous view of surroundings appreciated best at sunset from the hot tub. First time trying to heat it we used a one bag of logs and admitted defeat at the 3 1/2 hour mark. Second evening took two bags and 3 hours of tlc to keep the fire roaring resulting in scalding water we had to let cool down! An arduous process but a great sense of achievement and an amazing 360 view of the stars that night. Thank you!

The cottage was clean, tidy and comfortable. When we arrived there was an enjoyable lemon drizzle cake waiting for us. The hot tub was a personal highlight of the trip. Staff were easily contacted and helpful. Definitely would stay again.

The Melin cottage was absolutely beautiful the views surrounding it were amazing and the serenity of it was just what we needed, very close to the beach and the small town of Barmouth which we very much enjoyed visiting the host was so friendly, and we loved seeing the animals around as well. The view from the bed was amazing and lovely to wake up to. I will advise you not to wear socks when going down the stairs as I did slip down them (no fault but my own) paha. , however, we will definitely be booking again in the future 🙂

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Melin-Byrdir. The location was really peaceful and we loved seeing all of the animals. The hot tub was really enjoyable, it did take a few hours to heat up but is a rewarding experience. The welcome pack of freshly laid eggs and lemon drizzle cake were a really lovely touch and delicious! The stairs are a challenge to use but this is clearly stated at booking so just to be aware if you have mobility issues. Thank you for a lovely stay x

Our third stay at Melin-Byrdir. Great views, peaceful and private. Lovely hosts.
Good base for the Rhinogs and beach. Harlech Castle up the coast, slate mines nearby for rainy day. Train service up and down the coast with station nearby.
