The accommodation itself was very clean and spacious and we all thought the beds/mattresses were fantastic. The location of the accommodation is just brilliant, with shops and beach just a short stroll away. Barmouth is a lovely dog friendly town. There are plenty of scenic walks from the door step and a plethora of pubs and cafes to choose from, for refreshments. We would definitely return to Barmouth and wouldn't hesitate in booking this properly again.
