Barmouth, one of the most beautiful resort on the Welsh coast, is encircled by the unmatched beauty of the Snowdonia National Park. This quaint seaside community has a huge, family-friendly Blue Flag beach where the mountains and the sea meet. Even in the off-season, this location is great for a vacation because to the abundance of stores, bars, and restaurants there as well as the temperate climate. Cader Idris and Coed Y Brenin are nearby, making them a haven for cyclists, climbers, and walkers. There is a variety of wildlife along the stunning Mawddach Estuary, trout fishing in mountain lakes or sea fishing from the beach. Come and witness for yourself why Charles Darwin thought the Mawddach Estuary was the world's most stunning scenery! The steepest street in the world and Harlech Castle, a World Heritage Site, are both close by. Portmeirion Italianate Village is just a little further, as is St. David's golf course. These are just a few of the many wonderful things that are close by to this great location.

Despite the usual rainy and dull Welsh weather we had a really wonderful time. The owners were very helpful and kind. They have everything well organised providing a vast array of advice and activities. Being versatile and large the house lent itself to our purposes. A shame we couldnât use the well planned outside area due to the cold weather, but we did enjoy everything else. We hope to be back. Many thanks. Fran Biggin

There is a path to the beach at Llanaber almost opposite the house - very useful for morning dog walks. There are ample supplies of crockery, cutlery, glasses, etc. and the âwelcome packâ was a thoughtful touch. The hot tub and shower in the front garden was fun to use, and surprisingly private. Barmouth is only a mile away, and this is a lovely resort, with a huge beach (the dog friendly area at the far end is very scenic). This is a great place to stay for a large family group.
