The view here is fabulous – a clean sweep across Cardigan Bay to the Llyn Peninsula beyond. Below, a ten-mile beach runs north to Harlech Point; behind, the Rhinog mountains rise. As for the farmhouse, it sits high on the hill and dates to 1581. It’s a small, homespun world – Peter and Paula do it all themselves – a simple retreat with delicious slow food at the end of the day. Inside, you find thick stone walls, comfy sofas and a wood-burner in the inglenook. Bedrooms are scattered about. Those in the main house have a cosy feel with warm colours, low ceilings, perhaps a four-poster. Those in the outbuildings tend to be a little bigger and have painted stone walls, then ceilings open to the rafters. By day you explore the wonders of Snowdonia – you can climb mountains, take to cycle tracks or merely walk in the hills. By night you return to feast on local delights under ancient beams, perhaps Rhydlewis smoked salmon, Welsh Black steak, apple tarte tatin; if you’re still hungry after that, excellent Welsh cheeses wait. Don’t miss Portmeirion, or links golf at Harlech and Aberdovey.
Had an amazing dinner at LLwyndu Farmhouse Hotel during our stay. Charming traditional setting with a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. My food was fantastic! Lots of Local produce used- amazing welsh cheese with my onion soup for starter. My main course was a tasty chicken and chorizo dish with roasted vegetables and great fluffy roast potatoes! I had an apple and sultana crumble for desert which had an interesting lemon zest in- really unusual but nice with cream! Overall great food, friendly service and a beautiful location. Will defiantly be visiting again soon. Thanks
