About this property
Brynkir Tower is a historic gothic folly perfect for a romantic getaway, located in the Eryri National Park.
Built in 1821 to commemorate the knighthood of King George IV, the 20-metre-high tower has been thoughtfully-renovated using traditional materials after previously falling into disrepair, shedding off years of gothic decay to now exude a warm, welcoming atmosphere complete with elegant and inviting interiors that serve to provide a true castle feel!
Located on the top floor, the sitting room has a wood-burning stove, a TV and DVD player, and 270-degree views. The well-equipped kitchen/dining room has an electric cooker, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, as well as a pine dining table and chairs. There is a double bedroom with a splendid brass bed is followed by a twin-bedded room. The bathroom is located on the fifth floor and is complete with a cast iron roll-top bath where you can lie back, relax and watch the tree tops - sheer bliss!
An internal spiral stone staircase leads you to each of the six rooms, with the sitting room at the top. Situated right in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park there is so much variety here. Make sure you’ve packed your walking boots to tackle a walk up Snowdon (the highest mountain in Wales) or take the easier option of the train! The park has so much to offer everyone from stunning mountain walks, picturesque villages such as Beddgelert and an easy drive to lovely seaside towns like Criccieth. This is a unique property in a great location!

*IMPORTANT* This property does not have a garden and is in a rural location, which can mean the occasional visiting sheep. Please ensure for your own dog’s safety it is kept on a lead especially at lambing time. The stone steps from floor to floor are steep and are not suitable for people with mobility issues.
Pretty little hamlet known locally as Garn, on the outskirts of Porthmadog, a short drive away. Enjoy lovely views over the mountains and Cwm Pennant. At Porthmadog enjoy a good selection of shops and cafes or take a ride on the Highland Steam Train. Or pop along to Criccieth and enjoy its lovely beaches and castle.
