HI LOOKING FOR IDEAS AND PLACES TO STAY IN BARMOUTH AND SURROUDING AREAS WITH STUFF FOR 2 NEARLY TEENAGE GIRLS TO DO SUCH AS GAMES ROOM ETC BEEN BEFORE BUT NOT FOR A WHOLE WEEK

We did not like Hendre Mynach or Barmouth but it seems a lot do.I think you are going to get some grief from your girls as they will be bored.Portmerrion is a good day out and there are a couple of steam railways in the area or perhaps a walk up Snowden.You can take the train up but you will need a bank loan to pay for it.

Last time I went to Barmouth (October 08) it was looking rather sad and tired. Most of the shops were boarded up and even the 'fun-fair' looked far from fun. We stayed ina friends terraced house and the 'local' living opposite was making a roaring trade selling drugs from his downstairs window. (I was later told plod had raided the place)

As an area to visit though, I dont think you can beat the beaches and stunning Snowdonian scenery.

Such a shame that the local authority don't recognise what a little gem Barmouth can be. Oh well.

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES.OR IF YOU COULD RECOMMEND ONE NEAR TO THE NORTHWEST JUST NEED SOMEWHERE TO START OUR SEASON OFF

Shell Island is just a twenty minute drive north of Barmouth.  There are always loads of teenagers there.

My kids love it: girl 14, boys 9 and 12.  Last year I took my two nieces as well, aged 9 and 16.  They kept telling me how deadly it was i.e. great.
