Wedi’i leoli ar Friars Point yn Ynys y Barri, roedd gwesty arfaethedig Friars Point yn gyrchfan berffaith i westeion gael profiad o arfordir hardd De Cymru. Mae’r gwesty’n cynnig ystafelloedd modern a chyffyrddus i’r gwesteion sydd wedi’u dylunio â chyfuniad o gyfleusterau ac arddull fodern. Mae 60 o ystafelloedd gwely yng Ngwesty Friars Point ac mae ynddo’r cyfleusterau arferol a geir mewn gwesty pedair-seren megis ystafelloedd cynadledda, tŷ bwyta, bar yn ogystal â sba a champfa. Mae cymysgedd o baneli cladin Trespa Meteon ar waelod y waliau allanol a chladin gwrth-law o sinc. Bydd hyn yn helpu i’r gwesty barhau gan gynnal golwg ddeniadol. Mae’r dyluniad yn cynnwys mannau eang wedi’u murlennu i gael cynnal y golau naturiol drwy’r tu mewn i gyd, a bydd y gwesteion yn gallu edmygu’r golygfeydd o’r tŷ bwyta, y bar a’r eisteddle agored. Ar loriau’r tu mewn mae pren cnau ffrengig yn y rhan fwyaf o’r ystafelloedd; drwy ddefnyddio hwn sicrheir ansawdd a gwydnwch a golwg fodern ddeniadol i’r ardaloedd y tu fewn.
