Sibrwd Y Mor B&B

Staying at Sibrwd Y Mor

Sibrwd Y Mor — the name translates from Welsh as 'Murmur of the Sea' — sits on Beach Road below Harlech town, with views across the Royal St David's Golf Course to the Snowdonia mountains and along the fairways towards the sea. The position is distinct from most Harlech accommodation: lower down than the town centre and castle, it provides a different perspective on the landscape, and the golf course views mean that golfers can watch play from the property between their own rounds.

The accommodation is modern in style, with en-suite ground floor rooms that make it more accessible than some of the older buildings in Harlech town. The private parking and bicycle garaging make it practical for visitors arriving by car or bike — the Cambrian Way and other cycling routes run through this part of North Wales, and cycle-touring visitors who need secure, dry storage for their bikes will find Sibrwd Y Mor more prepared than many guesthouses in the area.

The beach is a few hundred metres from the house, reached through the dune system that lines this part of the coast. Harlech Castle is a short walk uphill into the town. The Rhinog mountains, offering wild and demanding walking, are accessible by car within fifteen minutes. Portmeirion is twenty minutes north, and the Ffestiniog Railway terminus at Porthmadog is nine miles away — both worth a day of the trip.
