About this property

Dyffryn Ardudwy 1.7 miles. Resting by the coast near Dyffryn Ardudwy, North Wales is this remarkable, detached house of Bennar Fawr. A historic property that dates back to the 15th century, Bennar Fawr is ideal for a large family celebration or gathering, with its stunning and spacious interiors, outdoor spaces and ample off-road parking for up to 15 cars! You will be wowed by Bennar Fawr's marvellous exterior as you pull up outside; take in the sea breeze and the landscaped gardens before entering the impressive dwelling. After an adventurous day out, there is nothing better than unwinding, and Bennar Fawr provides plenty of that, thanks to its numerous sitting areas, including two well-decorated sitting rooms; both feature TVs. Move across the ground floor to find a spacious snug that can seat all the group, where you can enjoy a catch up over coffee, or perhaps you'd prefer to catch the sunny rays in the conservatory? When you're feeling peckish, make your way to the large kitchen/diner, a very stylish spot that would please any aspiring chef, with its sleek fittings hosting several ovens, hobs, dishwashers and even wine chillers! Gather around the lengthy dining table to enjoy a grand meal with your loved ones, or simply savour a quick meal-to-go at the breakfast bar if you're eager to head out to the beach. After dinner, choose between one of 10 beautifully appointed bedrooms, all enjoying names that reflect the region, with six of these enjoying identical en-suite shower rooms and resting on the ground floor, including five super-king-sizes, with two offering single sofa beds, along with a family room that features four single beds; ideal for the kids! Venture upstairs to find five more bedrooms, with three of these resting in the west wing of the property and enjoying far-reaching views of the sand dunes, including two super-king-sizes sharing access to a fabulous shower room and bathroom, along with a king-size with an en-suite shower room. Continue to the east wing to discover another super-king-size and a twin room that are situated close to an additional shower room. The property also hosts two cloakrooms, to prevent those morning queues. In the morning, the kids can play on the spacious lawns in the front and rear gardens, whilst you unwind in the sauna, summerhouse or the two spacious hot tubs. Benar beach is just moments away from the house, where plenty of fun can be had in the sun and sand; be sure to visit Tal-y-bont afterward, where a hearty meal can be savoured at The Ysgethin Inn.

    Perfect location with the beach a stones throw away. The house perfect for a large group. (22 family members) Laura, the owner went out of her way to ensure our comfort and answered our queries ( which were numerous) tirelessly. Wouldn’t hesitate in returning.

    The location and proximity to the beach was really lovely. Great to have 2 Hot tubs. The bedrooms were a good size. Beds and bedding were of a good quality and very comfortable. Not wanting to be critical and just a a few Ideas would be having a couple more large serving dishes and big serving spoons. This would have been useful as we were serving up large quantities of food particularly as it was Christmas. We spent a lot of time in the big kitchen which was always warm and wonderful. Not sure if time clock was wrong due to a power cut we had but it seemed cold upstairs in top bedrooms. The batteries had gone in thermostat in bedrooms 9 and 10 in top floor. But this was easily sorted. Laura responded very quickly to any queries, even on Christmas day when the power cut happened. We enjoyed our stay very much even felt emotional when we had to leave.

    The property is nothing short of amazing and is perfect for large groups. The kitchen was the ideal space for bringing everyone together, while the multitude of other comfortable spaces meant people could break away in smaller groups when it was needed. All the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with ample bedding, and you couldn't hear much noise from them either - so no disturbance from the early risers or the late nighters! The setting is just gorgeous, as is the surrounding area, and we had a good mix of staying in (can thoroughly recommend bringing in a private chef!) and visiting the local sights of Barmouth, Harlech, Portmadog and Portmerion. There's some absolutely delightful places to eat and drink around, which were helpfully highlighted by the super friendly and communicative owners, who really helped elevate our stay with well thought-out extra little touches. All in all it was absolute pleasure, and we can't wait to come back and visit again!
