About this property
The Farmhouse has been refurbished to provide 5 star quality accommodation, having three reception rooms and three bedrooms, all well appointed and with en suite facilities. Just inside the entrance to the grounds lies the quaint Gatehouse, accommodating 4 guests, allowing a total group of 12 to holiday at The Farmhouse.
The property is situated 3 miles from Aberdyfi on the hillside overlooking the estuary. Otters, buzzards and red kites are all frequently seen from the terraces, and a wide array of waterfowl, waders, and seabirds are visitors at each low tide.
