Overlooking a beautiful estuary in southern Snowdonia, this period apartment sleeps four people over two bedrooms and welcomes one four-legged friend. Enjoying an elevated position on the fringe of Barmouth, it offers far-reaching sea and mountain views - making it the perfect spot to get away from it all. Let your pup off the leash in the enclosed courtyard, or grab the lead and stroll through the property’s pretty communal residents’ garden to the beach.
With its high ceilings, feature fireplaces and exquisite coastal views, this ground floor apartment (reached via six steps) is full of period charm. Towel-dry your pup’s paws in the porch and step inside. To your right, you’ll find a spacious kitchen/diner with harbour and sea views. The dining table in the bay window is the perfect place to dine while enjoying magical sunsets. Across from here you’ll find a sumptuous lounge with comfy sofas, more incredible sea views and a woodburner-effect gas fire that your furry friend is sure to enjoy snoozing in front of. Step outside this ground-floor apartment and you’ll discover a private garden with gorgeous views of the Cadair Idris mountain range. This is the perfect place to strike up the BBQ and enjoy an al fresco dinner. To the rear of the property, there’s a small enclosed courtyard, which is the ideal place to hang out your wetsuit, wash down your bike or play ball with your dog.
The lovely sandy beach on the property’s doorstep welcomes canines at either side of the central, busier section of the sand. Alternatively, head to the doggy-friendly Coed y Brenin Forest Park (13 miles), which is popular with walkers and trail runners. Take your dinner with you (and some treats for Fido), because there are stone BBQ plinths at the Glasdir and Ty'n y Groes picnic sites.
