Overview
Property code: 81283

Whisk your loved one away for a romantic retreat just 1 mile from the coast. With plenty of memories to be made, breathe in the fresh sea air on a golden sandy beach, enjoy a moment’s peace on a paddleboard, feel the adrenaline rush as you mountain bike through a forest or marvel at the breathtaking elevated views as you take on the highest mountain in Southern Snowdonia. After memorable days, return to this cosy bolthole for a delicious BBQ, a quiet night in or a soothing soak in the hot tub.

 

After long and tiring days spent exploring the coast and countryside, this single-storey bolthole is the perfect place to call home. Rustle up romantic meals for two in the sleek kitchen, equipped with everything you could need, before dining with a view of the garden. Afterwards, sink into the sofa to enjoy a quiet night of TV or movies with your beloved. A stylish bathroom is the perfect place to soothe tired muscles after a long walk, while the sumptuous king-size bedroom will ensure a restful night’s sleep ahead of another busy day. In the mornings, dine alfresco in the tranquil garden while listening to the beautiful morning chorus from the surrounding trees.

 

With so much to see and do in the area, this is a great location for keen adventurers and explorers. Just 4.5 miles away, the seaside holiday resort of Barmouth boasts a picturesque harbour, a sand and shingle beach and spectacular views of Cardigan Bay. Meanwhile in Harlech (7 miles), find Edward I’s Grade I-listed castle and a host of activities from fishing to swimming, rock climbing, cycling and paddleboarding. Once you’ve discovered the coastline, it’s time to head inland and deeper into Snowdonia National Park, choosing either to take on Snowdon (25 miles) on foot, enjoy a scenic ride on the Snowdon Mountain Railway (34 miles) or step back in time at the National Slate Museum (35 miles).

Second visit as a perfect cottage in a wonderful location. The dog loves the woods, as do we, and loved the changes every day. Pub is just as good and the addition of the ice cream by the beach made it a daily walk. Still so do much to see in the area we will be back.

An absolutely wonderful little bungalow cottage! Location was lovely, away from noise, but only a few minutes away from the train station, Barmouth or the nearby beaches. The garden is so pretty, fully enclosed (if you had a dog). There is a big holiday house next door, but very cleverly done so their garden and hot tub is the opposite side to thisRead more one - we didn't hear any noise at all and each property doesn't overlook the other, so very nice in that respect.

The location attracted me to this cottage, by a wood and walking distance to a pub. We arrived at a little gem, clean comfortable and well equipped. The back garden is a sun trap and even in April we were able to use the hot tub and then sunbathe.

Walking distance to train and beach. Booked for Sept when we got home. Hide
