Victorian castle on a cliff-top with panoramic Cardigan Bay views
Castle & Setting
Tyr Graig Castle occupies a cliff-top position with panoramic views over Cardigan Bay and the Llŷn Peninsula. Built in the 1890s for a famous gunmaker, the Victorian building was designed to resemble a castle and a double-barrelled shotgun. Original stained glass windows and a lounge with a log fire remain part of the property, alongside a terrace with water views.
Rooms & Suites
The 11 individually decorated en-suite guest rooms come in varied layouts, including sought-after four-poster beds. Most rooms have sea views, and guests can use board games and puzzles in the communal areas. Complimentary drinks for special occasions and afternoon tea offerings are part of the stay.
Dining & Bars
Tyr Graig's restaurant serves traditional home-cooked British and Welsh food made with local, fresh and seasonal produce. Breakfast includes locally sourced ingredients and is served in a conservatory overlooking the water. The conservatory bar offers a wide range of beverages, and the lounge has a log fire for evening drinks.
Location & Surroundings
Tyr Graig Castle sits less than a mile from Barmouth's centre and a short distance from Barmouth Beach. The Mawddach Trail and Snowdonia National Park are within easy reach for walks and outdoor outings. Outdoor relaxation areas on the cliff-top have views over Cardigan Bay and the Llŷn Peninsula.
Hospitality & Services
