About Ocean Drive
Ocean Drive sits on Marine Parade directly opposite the golden sands of Barmouth beach, at the edge of Snowdonia National Park. It markets itself firmly as walker, cyclist and dog-friendly, and its position puts guests within a couple of minutes of the sand, promenade and railway station.
Breakfast is a particular focus, with homemade daily specials served alongside the usual full cooked options, and the guest house has built a strong following on TripAdvisor for its friendly, personal service. Rooms are simple and comfortable rather than opulent, in keeping with its role as a well-run, traditional seaside B&B.
It suits couples and families who want to be right on the beach without paying hotel prices, and its location makes it an easy base for exploring both the town and the surrounding coast path on foot or by bike.

What guests say
2 seconds to the seafront, rooms are very open and airy so great for hot days. Im on the top floor and the water pressure is amazing in the shower! Breakfast is perfect, hosts are very friendly and helpful, everything is a short walk away from the front door. Recommending to everyone who comes to Barmouth!

I stayed for four nights in a small room with a view across the sand dunes, promenade and the sea. My room was comfortable, and very clean. A warm and friendly atmosphere courtesy of Sarah and Glenn. In the morning I had cereals, yoghurt and a lovely homemade breakfast, toast and tea was included. I had a small fridge in my room with a fresh supply of milk for tea and coffee. I didn't want to leave on the morning of my departure for two reasons, I love Barmouth, but now I have found a Hidden Gem-Ocean Drive and its hosts at Barmouth. Thank you Sarah and Glenn. Highly, highly recommended

Myself and my son have just come back from the Ocean drive. We had a lovely stay. The hosts are very warm and friendly and provided me with a vegan cooked breakfast as requested. I chatted with another guest who needed gluten free food and the hosts had also accommodated this requirement which I thought was lovely of them. The room was spotlessly clean and quiet and the location is of course perfect as it's along the sea front.

Just returned from a lovely weekend in Barmouth and fabulous stay here. B&B is in perfect location for exploring the town. Rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean with plenty of provisions. We could have sat looking out over the beach all day! Glenn and Sarah were great hosts, super friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was 10/10 cooked fresh whatever you ordered with plenty of hot drinks and toast. One of the best B&Bs we’ve stayed in! Will definitely come back.
