Eunant
Lake Vyrnwy
Fabulous self-catering Eunant House, set
in the idyllic landscape of its own lakeside valley in the Berwyn hills right
on the edge of Snowdonia National Park
Sleeps 15 in comfort
with very spacious living areas, garden
& grounds
Surrounded by absolutely stunning
scenery, in a valley of its own.
The Eunant Stream flows in waterfalls from
the Berwyn Hills through deciduous woodlands and meadows around the house to
Lake Vyrnwy. This beautiful and intimate nature reserve is easily accessed yet
has all of Snowdonia on the doorstep; fantastic walking and all the best
activities that gorgeous North Wales has to offer.
Eunant is a large handsome Victorian
stone-built farmhouse with private grounds & garden.
Built just up from the lake at the same
time as the spectacular Lake Vyrnwy dam, to relocate the now submerged Eunant
Hall. A wonderful location, nationally known as a nature reserve and Site of
Special Scientific Interest, a walker's paradise with easy access to Snowdonia,
the Berwyns, Cheshire & Shropshire, with so many options for local biking,
lake sailing, kayaking & fishing. This is perfect ornithology country,
between the open hills, the deciduous woodland planted by the RSPB & the
mature Victorian lakeside landscaping including the tallest trees in Wales!
Though it's a peaceful private haven, it's
still only 4 miles to the nearest pub food and the fine restaurant at the Lake
Vyrnwy Hotel and just beyond to the village shop.

We look forward to hearing from you and
making you very welcome at Eunant,
our fabulous self-catering house at Lake
Vyrnwy
Bronwen & Andy
Baylis
The immediate locality
We are surrounded by absolutely stunning scenery.
The lively Eunant stream flows past the grounds, with pretty rockpools and
waterfalls, coming down from the heathery slopes of the Berwyns. All around are
beech woods and broadleaf environmental reforestation, with open hills just
beyond, offering excellent local walks. Around the lake it is particularly
good, a full circuit is a great days walk with pub lunch half way at the hotel
by the dam. By bike its an easy hour and a half, or you can hire a kayak or
sailing dingy to get on the water itself. Day tickets are available for lake
fishing for trout and salmon, including boat hire. For mountain bikers there
are great forestry trails all around the locality. Our local peak Aran Fawddwy,
highest of the Berwyns (29 feet short of being a Munro!), offers a fabulous
ridge walk with enormous views over the the whole of North Wales.
North Wales on the doorstep
Eunant is perfectly situated. Easy access
from so much of the UK (4 hours from London, 2 from the Midlands) puts you
within reach of all that gorgeous North Wales has to offer. Less than half an
hour away is the sailing centre on Bala lake, and just beyond is the National
Whitewater centre at Llyn Celyn. The moorland road above the house leads to the
equally beautiful Mawddwy valley, and the charming old town of Dolgellau at the
foot of Cadair Idris. In an hour you could be on the wide sandy beaches of
Barmouth, or heading up coast to Harlech castle or the unique Italianate
village of Portmerion. Or soon you could be starting an ascent of Snowdon or
the Glyders. There are so many options here, is a week long enough? Luckily,
its easy to come back for more!
How to get there:
from the M54, the east & south-east:
Follow the Shrewsbury bypass to the last roundabout and turn
left on the A458 toward Welshpool, after 2 miles turn right onto the B4393.
This actually goes all the way to Lake Vyrnwy, but often joins with larger
roads (A495 through Llansantffraid, A490 through Llanfyllin). There are many
turn-offs but all are marked with the special brown road signs for 'Lake
Vyrnwy'. Some are a bit unexpected so keep your eyes peeled for these signs all
the way. When you get to Llanwddyn, continue to the dam. You can go either
direction round the lake road, looking out for the small turning up the Eunant
valley signed for Dinas Mawddwy. We are a few hundred yards up on the left, the
only house, you can't miss it.
from the A483, the north:
Head south on the A5 and follow the Oswestry bypass toward
Welshpool. Just after the bypass turn right and shortly left on the A495 as far
as Llansantffraid, where you turn right onto the B4393 with a brown Lake Vyrnwy
sign. You have linked with the route from Shrewsbury so continue as above.
the scenic routes from the south:
Some would take the M5 and M54 as above but if you prefer
the A roads aim for Welshpool. Follow the signs for the town centre and at the
central traffic lights turn left up the main street. At the roundabout go
straight on the A490. Apart from a brief right then left on the A495, the A490
takes you through Llanfyllin to the left turn for Lake Vyrnwy. Continue as
above.
