Sisial-Y-Mor

Sisial-Y-Mor is a two bedroom barn conversion in Tal-Y-Bont, a popular seaside village just to the north of Barmouth here in Snowdonia.

This middle cottage in a row of three has been renovated to a very high standard. There are some really nice fixtures like the oak ledge and brace doors, thermostatically controlled under-floor heating and marbelled bathroom with powerful shower. The furnishings have also been chosen with care and attention to detail. Everything from the elegant curtains, the stylish bedside lamps right down to the matching kitchen utensils. All have been carefully considered.

The accommodation itself comprises a large open plan living area with great sea views. The dining table sits to one side and comfortable leather sofas and large flat screen TV take up the rest of the room. High vaulted ceiling create a sense of space and light.

A central hallway leads to a thoroughly modern and spacious kitchen and bathroom. In the kitchen, sleek white fitted units are topped with a darker work surface matching the tiled floor. The marbled bathroom contains a large bath with a shower over.

In the master bedroom a king-size bed is flanked by the whitewashed stone walls and original timber beams helping to retain the character of this old barn. The second twin bedroom is smaller but equally tasteful.

Location

Most people visiting Tal-Y-Bont come to be beside the sea. And the cottage does not fail to provide that most traditional of British holidays. In the summer the village is transformed into a bustling coastal community. Fresh sea air carries with it the smell off newly lit BBQ’s and the sound of children’s laughter. It never rains in Wales. Honest! So don’t forget your flip flops. Socks optional.

Tal-Y-Bont is more of a sleepy little village during the winter months. A different but equally enjoyable experience. Deserted beaches and quiet country pubs gives cottage guests a chance to relax and unwind.

If you choose, there are lot’s of activities in the area throughout the year. Everything from adrenaline fuelled pursuits like white water rafting, mountain biking and gorge walking to more relaxing pastimes such as fishing, golf and bird spotting.

Geographically, the ever popular seaside town of Barmouth is a short drive to the south. Harlech with its historic castle and award winning links golf course is to the north. And the majestic mountains that rise up to the east of the village are crisscrossed with footpaths and bridleways for you to explore.
