Rare availability for a full Welsh family Christmas/NYE staycation 

Have you been tasked with the festive festivities booking for the family? If you need somewhere easily accommodating up to 16 guests (and the family dog) here in the UK, we’ve got you covered.

With ample cooking space for all the trimmings, a games room to challenge every family, and even a separate building for the grandparents, Tan Llan & The Coach House nestled in the heart of Wales could be perfect for you.

Set in the heart of the Eryri National Park, among towering mountains and glorious valleys, it isn’t just the location that draws people to Tan Llan. The house is also a treasure in itself: Grade II listed; set over three floors; sympathetically renovated to offer luxurious, spacious accommodation; built from hard grey stone – the unique product of local geology and local craftsmen – the architecture is bold and strong and relies more on proportions than ornament. 

Tan Llan has a quiet sense of belonging to the magnificent landscape that surrounds it. From the outside, it may look like a traditional country house, but the stylish interior tells a different story. The Main House offers an effortless blend of bright, contemporary accommodation, lavish furnishings and original 18th-century features including large sash windows and shutters, cast iron radiators and a bespoke slate fireplace (local of course).

There are eight bedrooms in total, six in the Main House, three with luxury en-suites, and two in the adjacent Coach House, both en-suite. Quality bedding and sumptuous mattresses provide pure comfort. Melin Tregwynt Welsh woollen blankets and throws adorn the beds; simple in spirit, satisfying in quality and timeless in design. The exceptional first-floor master bedroom slumbers in a separate wing, accessed by a private corridor. Its magnificent en-suite bathroom provides views across the grounds, to be enjoyed while taking a relaxing soak in the large freestanding roll-top bath.

A superbly equipped kitchen has a large island breakfast bar and a grand dining table, perfect for celebratory meals. The sitting room has a glorious open fire, which guests can gather beside at the close of the day. And the beautiful, light garden room opens out to the vast surrounding grounds.

There’s also an external games room housing a table tennis table, perfect for unpromising days; Wales is lush and green for a reason. The grounds are what seems like a never-ending playground for the children, although if one were to be more precise, there are fifteen acres of spectacular landscaped grounds.

An excellent location for walkers, mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts, the extensive sandy beaches of North Wales are a delight, with the popular seaside town of Barmouth easily reached and the bulky, menacing crags of Cader Idris loom large nearby.
