Gilfach Goch | Large four bedroom self catering barn conversion | Llanbedr
Property Type: Cottages, Featured, Internet | WiFi, Llanbedr, Pet Friendly, Sleeps 8-10
Gilfach Goch is one of the nicest barn conversions we’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Roger and Lesley have done a fantastic job of transforming their 400 year old barn into a luxury holiday cottage. High oak beamed ceilings are complimented by newly laid solid oak floors with under-floor heating. Tasteful furniture and all the facilities you could wish for, serve testament to their attention to detail.
There’s a comfortable lounge, with TV, DVD etc and the bonus of wireless internet if you’re silly enough to bring your laptop with you. The huge kitchen diner next door is perfect for those evening get togetherws. Plenty of space for everyone to eat and drink together and discuss the days events while the men pour over their OS maps.
Four bedrooms in total, three twin rooms and one double. So the cottage will sleep a maximum of 8 plus a couple of cots. But low occupancy discounts are available during off peak times. So don’t dismiss this one if you’re a smaller group. The largest bedroom is en-suite and also benefits from a small kitchenette and sitting area. Two more bedrooms lead off from the lounge but I think my favorite bedroom was the one up in the eaves of the barn. Low ceilings, exposed beams and a perfect little cottage window will mean the children will all be rushing to grab this room first.

Location
On the outskirts of the charming little village of Llanbedr, Gilfach Goch sits tucked up into a small hill, overlooking the Cambrian plane and its beautiful coastline. The sunsets over the Llyn Peninsula are truly spectacular and this cottage is the perfect place to sit and enjoy them. There’s a long private drive to the cottage so no passing traffic to bother you, just the odd stubborn sheep that may need nudging from the lane. (Don’t worry they don’t bite!)
There are a couple of pubs in the village, a butchers, post office and grocery store. Ten minutes away by car, the towns of Harlech and Barmouth offer a larger choice of restaurants and shops. Lot’s of adventure type activities around, including white water rafting, mountain biking, pony trekking etc. Others will enjoy the prehistoric stone circles, medieval castles and narrow gage railways that dot a landscape steeped in history.
A lot of guests will flock to the cottage for a traditional beach holiday of course. But I’d encourage everyone to explore the mountains behind the house. The Rhinog Mountains and Cwm Nantcol remains one of the UK’s true wildernesses. The mountains here are arguably every bit as spectacular as their more famous sister Snowdon, but benefit from being a bit more undiscovered. At the moment at least.

Lovely cottage in an idyllic location – lots of homely touches. Thank you to Roger and Lesley for making us feel so welcome.
Brilliant week. Highlight was climbing ‘Cnicht’. Fab cottage – let us know if it ever comes on the market! Had a brilliant time.
We all had a lovely holiday – the cottage is beautiful. Thank you. The children loved the freedom of the garden & farm. Fantastic!
Idyllic spot. We had a wonderful time. Children already looking forward to coming back next year. Thanks for the freedom.
Just brilliant to be here again to enjoy this exquisite cottage, wonderfull views + adventure activities for the lads. Many thanks. See you again, we hope.
We all had a fantastic time. The cottage is beautiful, as of course is the location. As ‘Arnie’ would say, “we will be back”. Many htanks.
What a great place to stay! Even some dodgy weather didn’t spoil it: we had a brilliant time – we’ll be telling all our friends!
The nearest thing you can get to paradise with the position of the cottage, the surrounding countryside, and the beautiful sea views. An oasis in a world of speed and noise. A week of complete relaxation, we can all face reality again with renewed vigor.
We had the best holiday ever! The cottage is very comfortable with great character, off the beaten track with magnificent views. There is so much to do around & about. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.
A thoroughly tranquil week, great cottage exceeded all expectations. Going home fully recharged. Definitelly coming back, many thanks. Will ecommend you.
Wow, what a beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting. Perfect. Weather fantastic and climbed Snowdon in the sun. Done so much (and too much) exercise. So much to see and do. Will recommend to anyone + everyone. FANTASTIC. Thanks.
We had the most enjoyable time in Wales, our only gripe being that it’s much too short to fully enjoy the cottage as we were only there for the weekend. Thanks to Roger and Lesley for being so hospitable.
The cottage is simply beautiful and very homey, retaining its traditional charms whilst having modern fittings & convenience. Underfloor heating is v much appreciated!
Lovely location, made even nicer with all the snow, very christmassy. Plenty of room inside for 8 children to play hide and seek in! Thanks to Roger and Lesley for clearing the track upto the house of snow for us to make it. Highly recommended for families with small children. Under floor heating very welcome after a long walk in the fields.
Absolutely gorgeous cottage, everything you could possibly ask for and spotlessly clean. Will definitely look to return when we can take advantage of the beautiful setting for longer than a weekend!
