About The Sandbanks

Sea views feature in the rooms at The Sandbanks, a 35-room hotel positioned right on Marine Parade in Barmouth, looking out over the beach towards the Mawddach Estuary and the hills of Eryri National Park beyond. Spread across three floors and served by a lift, the hotel keeps things straightforward: en-suite bathrooms throughout, family rooms for those travelling with children, and drinks available in the room for a bit of extra comfort after a day on the coast.

Downstairs there's a restaurant serving meals including options for children, plus a bar and outdoor seating where guests can sit with the sea in view. Free WiFi is available across the property, and luggage storage is on hand for those breaking a longer coastal trip. Pets are welcome, which suits the walking country on the doorstep. There is no parking at the hotel itself, so anyone driving should plan ahead.

Barmouth's beach is a short step away, and the surrounding area offers cycling and walking routes, fishing, and a golf course nearby, along with pubs, restaurants and other entertainment within easy reach. It's a straightforward base for exploring the Mawddach Estuary and the wider reaches of Eryri National Park.

People say this hotel has an excellent location right on the beach with great views, offers a hearty cooked breakfast, and features friendly, helpful staff.

Other reviews mention the rooms can be poorly maintained and dated.
