Important Information

On the sandy coast between Barmouth and Harlech, Egryn is a stunning Grade II listed medieval hall house dating from 1510, with 17th century alterations and a mid 19th-century front which looks across farmland to Cardigan Bay. At the heart of the house is the medieval hall with exposed, partially-aisled roof structure and a grand 17th-century fireplace. It has been faithfully restored by the National Trust using traditional building techniques: admire the skill and beauty of this work, providing a rare opportunity to stay in a Welsh hall house of this calibre. It is furnished in keeping with each period of its development. Commissioned by the National Trust, a replica of the original Egryn table dating from the early 1700's has been made from local wind blown oak and the Trust's Ganllywd Estate, and now has pride of place in the grand medieval dining room. Egryn is a working farm, through which there is a public footpath which leads past a profusion of Scheduled Ancient Monuments and stretches from the seashore to the uplands of the Rhinogydd Range. It has a wealth of archaeological and historic interest. There is a large private garden with nature trees, shrubbery and patio area. With its grand medieval hall sitting and dining rooms, Victorian parlour, skilled craftsmanship, beautiful furnishings and large private garden, Egryn is the perfect choice for that special occasion, family holidays and get togethers.

Ground Floor: entrance hall leading to bedroom (double with antique brass/iron bed), Victorian sitting room with piano, medieval dining room with 17th-century fireplace, kitchen, large utility and bathroom with shower over bath. First Floor: staircase leading to the medieval hall sitting room, separate lavatory, four bedrooms (2 doubles - 1 with 5' mahogany antique bed and 1 with 5' antique iron bedstead, 1 twin with walk through to bathroom with mixer tap shower over bath) and single bedroom.

Facilities
Dishwasher, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, cot, highchair
