Egryn, National Trust

Near Barmouth, Gwynedd, Egryn is a Grade II listed Medieval Hall House that accommodates up to nine guests with a large, private walled garden. Situated on working farmland, this National Trust Holidays property, has been furnished in keeping with each period of its development, with a replica Egryn dining table taking pride of place in the medieval dining hall. Enjoy a long, lazy breakfast in the garden before exploring the quaint coastal town of Barmouth with its maze of alleyways, just a short trip from the holiday cottage.

For the adventurous Eryri is perfect for hiking and climbing, ascend Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). Challenge yourself with various climbing routes and scrambles on mountains like Tryfan. Try kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding, discover a variety of walking trails, from leisurely strolls through villages like Betws-y-Coed to challenging hikes through ancient woodlands.

Plastic Free Yr Wyddfa: Plastic Free Yr Wyddfa is an initiative organised by Eryri National Park to protect the mountain’s sustainable future. This cottage, and all National Trust holiday cottages in the national park have been awarded silver status in this plastic-free business programme, and we are making changes to work towards gold status.
