If you’re bored of seaside holidays that involve driving (and paying for parking) or a long, tedious walk carting kids and dogs to the beach, then this is the place for you. This three-bed, duplex-style apartment is practically on the National Trust beach at Llanbedrog, with sand stretching out in front and the headland to the rear. You feel like you’re floating above the sand. Thoughtfully refurbished, it also makes the most of the space available – not to mention the views that are showcased throughout.
Converted, unsurprisingly, from a former boathouse, this property suits either a family or group of friends and up to two pets who are allowed downstairs. Set very slightly up and back from the beach, the sea comes all the way in at high tide. Contemporary styling and design await inside with an open-plan lounge/diner taking full advantage of the beach and sea view via a long picture window. And, with the double-height ceiling and exposed wooden frame here, you can feel like you’re out in the elements. Just off this space is a sleek fitted kitchen that has all you’ll need – complete with a rustic oak window seat for talking to the chef. The master en-suite double bedroom is on this level, while two staircases at either end of the living accommodation lead up to two further bedrooms – one twin and one double. Both of these have characterful sloping ceilings with Velux windows, but the double also has a picture window taking up the apex of the property. There’s a glass-fronted balcony with furniture accessed via the lounge.
Enjoy blustery dog walks along the beach or head up and join the coast path. There’s a beach bar and restaurant here in high season and an art gallery nearby.
