Barns at Llyn Gwynant Campsite Llyn Gwynant Barns information |
||||||||||||||||||
For printable information click here: The barns at Llyn Gwynant Campsite are Grade II Listed Buildings that we let to just one group booked in advance. The beauty and privacy of this complex, which has two private camping fields, one which lies near the lake, makes it a popular venue either for large camping groups or for special weekend events such as weddings. The Llyn Gwynant barns consist of three imposing stone rooms with joined buildings allowing internal access. Outside is a barn yard with portacabin toilet block and parking area, as well as two private fields suitable for camping, one of which is beside the lake shore so there is private access to the lake, see the site plan and floor plan for more. The barns have electricity, gas and a public payphone inside. The camping barn has a kitchen at one end and benches and seating around a wood-burning stove at the other. An interior door leads to the bunk barn with alpine style sleeping platforms for 20 – 30 people. Behind is the large function barn with tall oak windows, a stage and space for up to 300 people standing or 150 seated at tables. Outside a porta-cabin toilet block has 2 gents, 2 urinals and one ladies, and for large groups portaloos can be added. Campsite facilities including hot showers are a few hundred yards away. See the barn facilities page for details about the barns and their private camping fields. Groups using the barns may camp in the private fields around the barns and / or use the alpine style sleeping platforms in the bunk barn. Food preparation, dining and recreation can all take place indoors, with the large function barn available for indoor or educational activities for large groups, see the Groups at the barns page for more details.Charges for groups using the barns are on a per-person per night basis, see our barn rates page. Events such as weddings are popular because of the extraordinary beauty of the setting and the flexible nature of the site. The function barn is licenced as a venue for civil marriages and can also provide a large space for a sit down meal or a party. Since such celebrations can be partly or fully self-catered, and guests have the option of camping nearby, this can be a very cost effective as well as beautiful wedding venue. There is a special page for Weddings and events. A special weekend rate is available so a small group can prepare the barns for a Saturday event, see the barn rates page for more. We have recently been upgrading the barns and plan to continue improving them in the next few seasons. By 2013 we hope to have internal toilets and showers. Meanwhile there is a portacabin toilet block in the barn yard and the public campsite facilities including hot showers are available to barn users. Check our barn documents page for printable information including the Terms and conditions for using the barns, which is essential reading before you make a booking. |
