Bwthyn Mawr
Description
Bwthyn Mawr is a striking double-fronted Georgian cottage, Grade II listed and dating back to the 1700s.
Tucked away in a peaceful spot on the edge of the coastal village of Llanfair, it offers a tranquil setting that feels secluded without being remote.
Just a mile from the historic town of Harlech, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this delightful property sits on the fringes of Snowdonia National Park, where the mountains meet the sea.
Set within the grounds of the owners’ small country estate, the cottage enjoys access to shared facilities including a tennis court, woodland walks, gardens, and expansive lawns.
It’s a wonderful choice for couples, friends, or families seeking a restful break in North Wales.
Thoughtfully restored to a high standard, the cottage retains its original character while offering modern comforts.
The well-equipped kitchen, complete with an AGA, is stocked with fresh herbs from the garden.
The dining room overlooks the manicured lawns, and the sitting room provides a stylish space to unwind beside the woodburning stove.
Upstairs, two beautifully appointed bedrooms offer large, luxurious beds and garden views.
One features a super king-size bed that can be converted into twins.
The elegant bathroom, located off a split-level landing, includes a freestanding bath, a spacious drench shower, fluffy towels, and complimentary toiletries.
For added indulgence, the owners can arrange in-cottage treatments such as massages, manicures, or even a haircut.
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment in the garden, a stroll through the woods, or a game of tennis, the setting invites you to slow down and savour the surroundings.
With minimal light pollution, the night sky is perfect for stargazing, and you might even hear owls calling as evening falls.
Whatever your pace, Bwthyn Mawr is a superb base for exploring this captivating part of Wales at any time of year.

What guests are saying
Loved this spacious comfy Georgian house.
It had a great kitchen with a cosy Aga and wood burner in the lounge. The metal bed was super comfy too and there is a great rain shower. It was styled beautifully and in a great location - 15 minutes walk across the the fields to the beach and a curious church in the dunes. A short drive to Harlech for supplies or plenty of larger shops in Porthmadog. A couple of very small issues, the bathroom was a bit chilly, the toilet very high (if you are short or have young kids) , very noisy pipes when running a shower ( spooky old plumbing!) and the kitchen could do with a few extra bits like baking trays. However these issues don't take away from just how amazing the house is. Highly recommended.
This is a delightful and substantial cottage in a beautiful and unusual setting, furnished with interesting, quirky items which contribute to a relaxed and pleasurable stay.
Easily accessible from the main road (written directions would be welcome for those of us without smart phones), but no noise infiltrated. The garden is an absolute treasure! There were one or two small maintenance things to feed back, nothing more than would be expected when keeping on top of a well used property. An ideal place to from which to visit nearby relatives. Thank you!
Fantastic property - spacious with extensive and secluded grounds.
Convenient location for North Wales coast.
