Brynkir Tower, a historic gothic folly located in Garndolbenmaen, Gwynedd, Wales, offers a romantic getaway experience within the breathtaking Eryri National Park. Constructed in 1821 to honor the knighthood of King George IV, this 20-meter-high tower has undergone careful renovation using traditional materials, transforming it from a state of gothic decay into a warm and inviting retreat. The interiors are elegantly designed, providing guests with a unique castle-like ambiance that enhances the overall charm of this exceptional property.
The top floor of Brynkir Tower features a cozy sitting room equipped with a wood-burning stove, a television, and a DVD player, all complemented by stunning 270-degree views of the surrounding landscape. The well-appointed kitchen and dining area include modern amenities such as an electric cooker, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, along with a charming pine dining table and chairs. Accommodations consist of a double bedroom with a splendid brass bed and a twin-bedded room, while the fifth-floor bathroom boasts a luxurious cast iron roll-top bath, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the serene treetop views.
Access to the six rooms is facilitated by an internal spiral stone staircase, culminating in the sitting room at the top. The location within Snowdonia National Park offers an abundance of outdoor activities, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts. Guests can embark on a challenging hike up Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, or opt for a scenic train ride. The park's diverse landscape presents opportunities for stunning mountain walks, visits to picturesque villages like Beddgelert, and easy drives to charming seaside towns such as Criccieth.
For pet owners, Brynkir Tower welcomes two dogs, adding to its appeal as a pet-friendly accommodation. However, it is important to note that the property lacks a garden and is situated in a rural area, which may lead to occasional visits from sheep. To ensure the safety of dogs, especially during lambing season, it is advised to keep them on a lead. Additionally, the steep stone steps may pose challenges for individuals with mobility issues, making this enchanting tower best suited for those who can navigate its unique layout.
