The Llyn Gwynant Barns

Llyn Gwynant Barns is an outstanding venue for celebrations of all kinds and is licensed for weddings. These imposing Grade II-listed stone buildings are set in a beautiful natural environment beside Llyn Gwynant lake, surrounded by private fields. Events can be catered using the facilities in the Kitchen barn and guests can opt to camp in the Barn fields. The standard hire is for two days.

The Barns are not serviced accommodation, it is a canvas for you to fill, a beautiful place for you to create your own wedding and spend time with friends and family. We have one wedding every weekend in the season. The bathrooms will be cleaned while you are here and there is there is a fully staffed bar on the day of your wedding. But it is for you to arrange help from your friends, for example to organise parking, move tables to clear a dancefloor after the meal, and clean up after meals and before you leave.  The barns consist of:

  • Big barn, a wonderful large room of 12 x 12 metres, with high roof, tall oak windows, a stage at one end and large glass doors opening out to the lake. There is a stone fireplace and woodburner, see our Big barn page for more.
  • Kitchen barn has a commercial kitchen at one end and wooden tables, benches and seating at the other, see Kitchen barn page for more.
  • Tall barn forms the entrance to the barns. There are steep steps on one side to alpine-style sleeping platforms for around 20 people, though no beds or bedding are provided.
  • An internal toilet block accessed from Big barn has three toilet cubicles one of which is wheelchair accessible, two showers, many basins and mirrors.
  • The Barn yard outside has parking for around 20 cars, with 2 electric hook ups for motorhomes/large caravans. The adjacent low barn, with the sign on the gable end, has a toilet block in the end near the camping fields, which have 3 toilets and 3 showers.
  • Two camping fields, which are not visible from the public campsite, run down to the lake. When hiring the barns you get private use of these fields which can be used for tent camping or simply to ensure privacy. There are four electric hook-ups on hard standing at the top of Barn field for small caravans or campervans. Further parking for cars is available on the campsite Wedding car park by arrangement.
