About Ty'r Graig Castle
Built in 1892 for the gunmaker W.W. Greener, Ty'r Graig Castle is a genuine cliff-top curiosity - a gothic Victorian mansion designed, according to local lore, to echo the shape of a double-barrelled shotgun. It stands some 200 feet above Barmouth with uninterrupted views over Cardigan Bay, and its stained glass, wood-panelled hallways and turret rooms have been kept largely intact.
The eleven en-suite bedrooms are individually decorated, ranging from standard doubles to circular turret rooms with panoramic sea views, and each keeps period character alongside modern comforts. The restaurant makes a feature of its position, serving traditional British and Welsh dishes in a dining room that looks straight out over the bay, with an extensive wine list to match.
Free parking and a genuinely quiet, elevated setting make this a good choice for anyone who wants Barmouth's views without being in the thick of the seafront crowds, while remaining under a mile from the harbour, beach and railway station.
