Second visit as a perfect cottage in a wonderful location. The dog loves the woods, as do we, and loved the changes every day. Pub is just as good and the addition of the ice cream by the beach made it a daily walk. Still so do much to see in the area we will be back.

An absolutely wonderful little bungalow cottage! Location was lovely, away from noise, but only a few minutes away from the train station, Barmouth or the nearby beaches. The garden is so pretty, fully enclosed (if you had a dog). There is a big holiday house next door, but very cleverly done so their garden and hot tub is the opposite side to thisRead more one - we didn't hear any noise at all and each property doesn't overlook the other, so very nice in that respect.
