This Grade 2* listed building has been sensitively renovated to form a modern internal space which is both spacious and comfortable for a party of 8. The garden area is linked to the garden of the Medieval House which can also be accessed during your stay.
The setting is truly peaceful and idyllic yet only a 5 minute drive from the bustling seaside towns of Cricieth and Pwllheli on the Llyn Peninsula, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Snowdonia National Park is also within 10 miles, with its majestic mountain ranges, including Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales.
The location is situated on a network of safe footpaths and cycling trails and is only just 2 miles from Penychain beach, which is linked along a 3 mile stretch of sand to the Marina at Pwllheli. At night enjoy wonderful starry nights along with the mesmerizing sounds of nature, including the resident owls. Penarth Fawr is a truly tranquil, rural location.
The peaceful little village of Chwilog is just 1 mile, offering a local pub, post office/grocery/newsagent and butcher’s shop. Asda in Pwllheli (5 miles) offers the whole range whilst bespoke local goods can be accessed in Cricieth (5 miles).

For a relaxing drink, Tafarn y Plu (Feathers Inn) in Llanystumdwy (3.5 miles) is also recommended, where they also serve good food.
There is also a great variety of activities and attractions on your doorstep. From the Marina in Pwllheli to Plas Glyn y Weddw Arts Centre in Llanbedrog (8 miles) and numerous other picturesque seaside villages such as Aberdaron and Abersoch that are dotted around the Llyn Peninsula. In the other direction, Cricieth Castle, Portmeirion (the famously designed Italian village), steam trains and Zip World in Blaenau Ffestiniog are just some of the highly popular attractions. For families and groups, Glasfryn Activity & Adventure Centre (4 miles) will keep everyone entertained for a full day with activities ranging from go-karting to quad bikes, ten-pin bowling, archery and even wakeboarding.
Remember as well that a stay at Penarth Fawr is not complete without experiencing the taste of a Cadwalader’s ice cream at its founding home in Cricieth, whilst enjoying the spectacular views across Cardigan Bay.
