About this property
Murmur Y Don rests in an enviable elevated position overlooking Harlech Beach, often referred to locally as “Good God Corner” for its breath-taking coastal views. Dating back to 1907, this characterful property sits within one acre of mature gardens, offering a tranquil setting for families and friends seeking a scenic Welsh seaside escape. Inside, the ground floor features an entrance hallway fitting with the character of the home, with a handy shower room just off from here.

After a delicious dinner, find the study nearby, which is stocked with books and games, and a sitting room leading on to a circular panoramic window room framing the outstanding view Upstairs, four bedrooms await: two doubles with French doors to a balcony, a further double and a single, all making the most of the uninterrupted sea views. Guests can indulge in a long soak in the impressive 6’ cast-iron freestanding bath after a day of walking the coastlines, or unwind by exploring the extensive, one-acre gardens. Harlech is famed for its dramatic clifftop castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering sweeping views across Cardigan Bay.

Further along the coast, Porthmadog is a gateway to Eryri’s (Snowdonia’s) rugged beauty and home to the famous Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways, where heritage steam trains wind through spectacular mountain landscapes.
