Tyr Graig Castle, Barmouth

With stunning views of Cardigan Bay, this impressive Victorian building has a magnificent cliff-top location, between the sea and the mountains of the Snowdonia National Park.

Originally built in the late 1880s for a famous gunmaker, Tyr Graig Castle was constructed to resemble both a castle and a double-barrelled shotgun.

Today, the building has been converted to offer 4-star guest accommodation, but it still has beautiful original Victorian features, including stained glass windows, original wood panelling and decorative floors and ceilings.

All of the en suite rooms have modern comforts and facilities, including TVs and DVD players.

The lounge has a real log fire and drinks are available from the conservatory bar. There is also a terrace with superb views over the water.

Overlooking Cardigan Bay, the restaurant offers traditional home-cooked British and Welsh food, made with the finest, freshest seasonal produce available locally.
