About Egryn

Egryn is a Grade II-listed Medieval hall house with a large, private walled garden, perfect for families and friends gathering together. Situated on working farmland, the house has been furnished in keeping with each period of its development with a replica Egryn dining table taking pride of place in the medieval dining hall. 

Enjoy a long, lazy breakfast in the garden before exploring the quaint coastal town of Barmouth with its maze of alleyways, just a short trip from the holiday cottage. 

Further afield, tour the coast of Gwynedd. The golden sands of Cardigan Bay are just a short drive from here where you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the bottlenose dolphins. Or drive just five minutes to the old town of Barmouth. This pretty Victorian seaside town has lots of charm with its mountainside slate-roof cottages and steep alleyways.
