About this property
Overlooking the sandy shores of the breath-taking Welsh coast is this stunning self-catering abode, Sandpiper Apartment. Within reaching distance of the mountainous landscapes of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, this fabulous top-floor apartment offers the perfect blend of coast and countryside, making this the ultimate base from which a family or group of five can discover the true delights of North Wales.

An adjoining kitchen/living room can be found boasting an array of sleek electrical appliances such as an impressive induction hob and electric oven, as well as an inviting blue sofa that is perfect for cosying up to loved ones as you watch entertaining movies on the flat-screen TV. Just across the way a family bedroom with bright white walls, chic blue hues and both a double and a single bed, has the benefit of a handy en-suite shower room, whilst the bunk room provides a quaint space to tuck-in the children. Make the most of your time in Wales, with spectacular hikes along the coast path, stopping off on the sugary sands of Harlech Beach or exploring local landmarks such as Cors y Gedol, Dyffryn Ardudwy Burial Chamber and Llanfair Slate Caverns, that line the way.

However, I realise that Tara and her partner were doing all they can to rectify it. The apartment at the top of the house has very good facilities for self-catering. It is in a very good location with views over the sand dunes to the sea. I appreciate the use of the car park badge nearby.

The cleanliness and comfort was to a high standard, and all of the necessary facilities were provided to make this an enjoyable self-contained holiday break. The central position of the apartment in Barmouth also made for easy road and rail access.

Really nice touches were the extras on arrival - bread, eggs, milk, orange juice & water. The chocolates were generous too. It was a great base to tour from as ideally placed to go exploring. The ensuite decor in the main bedroom was tired ,but very useable. Thank you. We really enjoyed our stay.
