About this property

Wern Manor is a magnificent Grade II* listed manor house with two beautiful cottages attached to the manor and situated in the old stable courtyard, between Porthmadog and Criccieth. Whether you enjoy exploring the 15 acre grounds or indulging in the games room with table tennis, pool table and cinema style seating complimenting the 65 inch television, there is something for everyone to enjoy, making this a unique and truly memorable stay.

Wern Manor occupies a tranquil and private setting and was built in the ´Jacobethan´ Arts & Craft style of the late Victorian era. It still exudes historic grandeur but now combines this with carefully selected modern day comforts and furnishings.

Upon entering this historic retreat, you are greeted by a grand panelled hallway, transporting you to a bygone era and leading to the grand sitting room and games room. The sitting room provides decadence and grandeur with sumptuous seating and a wood burning stove, where you can relax on cooler evenings, and the games room is the perfect location for everyone to enjoy a film together on the vintage cinema seats or a spot of table tennis or pool.

The well-equipped kitchen is housed in the former scullery and contains all that you need for making preparations for those important celebratory meals to be enjoyed next door in the original kitchen which is now a unique dining room with a wood burning stove and authentic, exposed buff and glazed brickwork.

There is a second sitting room within the former Servants Hall with comfy sofas that can be converted into sofa beds to sleep up to four children, and a selection of toys and games to entertain younger guests, along with endless hours of hide and seek throughout this period masterpiece.
