From the end of the garden, there’s a direct path which, in just a few minutes, takes you down over the railway crossing, and onto the sandy beach (don’t forget to bring your bucket and spade!).
You can stroll along the promenade and into the town centre, where you’ll find a good selection of pubs, cafés and eateries, plus a lovely choice of individual shops. You can hire a bike and explore the scenic Mawddach Trail, which runs along the course of an old railway line through pretty Penmaenpool, all the way to the market town of Dolgellau.

Here you’ll find the world’s largest zip wire zone, plus Bounce Below, where you can bounce on trampoline nets and whizz down slides deep underground in an old slate cavern. And if that sounds like too much excitement, you can always come back to your holiday home and admire the lovely views! Beach ¼ mile. Shop 1 mile, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Had a fantastic Christmas with parents. The house is a great size, large lounge with picture windows to the sea, large kitchen diner, again with two fantastic bay windows overlooking the garden and sea. The bedrooms were a great size, 2 en-suite and a separate massive bathroom for the third (or for sharing as the bath is amazing). A short walk down to the sea, but beware the path is quite steep from the garden down and of course, you have to walk up. Fine if you have good mobility but was difficult for my parents who have a walking stick and are in their 80's. However, nice drive in to Barmouth and parking was good. Would highly recommend. Neil, the owner, was there for any queries and was incredibly responsive. We will definitely be returning.
