Glyn Cywarch is a Grade II*-listed gentry house within Snowdonia National Park, built by William Wynn in 1616. It is an ambitious building of Renaissance character, distinctive of its region, with a walled garden. It has been the Harlech family seat since the 1800s.

The sub-medieval tradition is evident in the layout, and original detail of a high order remains in-situ. There are numerous features of special architectural significance throughout the main house, the adjoining buildings and grounds.

Glyn Cywarch hall, the gatehouse, the gardens and estate yard ranges are Grade II*-listed as a major early seventeenth-century gentry house and associated gardens and buildings. Its architectural ambition and social status are marked in a fusion of regional traditions and renaissance ideas, retaining original interior detail of exceptional quality.
The hall was extensively restored from 2016 to 2023. This was done using a sympathetic methodology of traditional materials and master craftspeople, incorporating techniques such as the use of lime plaster. The gatehouse roof was fully repaired and reslated thanks to a generous grant from the Historic Houses Foundation. Alongside the use of traditional techniques and materials, the thermal insulation of the building was greatly improved, and a renewable heating source in the form of a water source heat pump was added.

Holiday accommodation is now available and part of the diversification of the estate with beautiful rooms within the house stay in.
