About this property

Apartment 1 is a beautifully appointed, ground-floor apartment resting on the coast in Barmouth, North Wales. The property has a coastal location and boasts sea views, so you can sit and watch the waves roll in for hours on end, making it a relaxing retreat for a family of up to five. When arriving at the apartment, you will be happy to find an off-road parking space, along with show-stopping sea views to the front of this charming abode. Progress through the communal entrance and make your way inside to discover a tastefully furnished open-plan living space which enjoys large windows that frame those stunning views! Make yourself at home on one of the sumptuous seating options available, including a leather armchair and a corner sofa, before switching on the Smart TV to enjoy a movie night together. Move through the space to the kitchen, a fantastically fitted space that is perfect for preparing a homecooked meal, thanks to its array of appliances available, including a dishwasher. Tuck into these tasty dinners at the adjoining breakfast bar or make it a larger affair by enjoying a sit-down meal with the family at the sleek dining table. Before heading to bed, pop any old clothing into the utility's washing machine; the space opens out to a handy cloakroom, too. When sleep calls, you will find two fabulous bedrooms to rest in, the first of which is a king-size that boasts pristine, white furnishings as well as its own TV and direct access to the side garden. The second bedroom is a family room, which enjoys an open-plan aspect and features a double along with a children's bunk bed. The bathroom is a superb spot for relaxation, owing to its luxurious corner bath; the room also hosts a separate walk-in shower, for added convenience. The apartment enjoys access to a range of outdoor spaces, from a private side patio, where you can enjoy a steaming cup of morning coffee, to a raised deck which perfectly frames the coastal vista! When you finally decide to tear yourself away from this fabulous base, walk a short distance into the heart of Barmouth to come across a wealth of eateries, including the renowned Mermaid fish and chips shop, and an array of independent shops offering local wares; the town also backs onto some fantastic sights, with the stunning beach lying on one side and access to the stunning Panorama Walk on the other. Be sure to spend some time in the welcoming town of Dolgellau, a place that is also home to a range of independent shops, whilst also offering walks along Marian Mawr and access to the famed Mawddach Trail. Get acquainted with the local history with a visit to Harlech, a seaside resort which boasts beautiful sands, an esteemed Golf Club and the huge fortress of Harlech Castle. For more fun on the coast, venture to the peaceful village of Fairbourne, or travel north to Porthmadog and Portmeirion; alternatively, you can venture further into Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, where a range of peaks, whitewater rafting and picture-postcard villages await! For an unforgettable stay in Wales, choose Apartment 1.

Barmouth, one of the most attractive resorts on the Welsh coast, is encircled by the unrivalled beauty of the Snowdonia National Park. This typical coastal resort has a large sandy Blue Flag beach that is ideal for families.

  • Debbie

    There was everything we needed, and it was spotlessly clean. There is a great laundry room, too. There are amazing views from the communal gardens at the back, which have several seating areas overlooking the estuary and harbour. We loved our stay in Barmouth, and the apartment made it extra special.
