Home/Where to stay/Barmouth/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Barmouth
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels and self-catering stays in Barmouth, the seaside town on the Welsh coast. It is for couples, families and small groups deciding where to base themselves within a couple of kilometres of the centre.
Staying in Barmouth
Barmouth sits on the west coast of Wales, with the sea on one side and the hills of Snowdonia behind it. Stays here cluster along the seafront and the lanes just above it, from Marine Parade and Porkington Terrace to the quieter road out towards Llanaber. It is a place for beach days, coastal walking and short breaks rather than big-city sightseeing.
The properties on this shortlist run from town-centre apartments and a seafront hotel to farm cottages and country houses on the edge of town. The Fanny Talbot, Min Y Mor Hotel and Ty Isaf are within about a kilometre of the centre, while Cae Fadog Fach, Morlais Hw7599 and Bryn Derw sit a little further out and rely on their gardens and parking. Couples tend to favour the smaller, higher-rated places; families do better with the kitchen and family-room properties; anyone wanting to walk everywhere should look at the 0.4-0.6 km group.
