Enjoy the best of both worlds with a stay at this detached bungalow, where the beach and Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) are within easy reach. Set in a quiet spot in the seaside village of Fairbourne, it’s an ideal base for an outdoor-loving family seeking a rejuvenating North Wales break. When you’re not out exploring, the spacious lawned garden is a lovely space for everyone to relax, with a gentle stream trickling by beyond the fence adding to the calming ambience.
Subtle tones and traditional furniture give the bungalow a homely feel, and the lounge is a cosy spot to curl up with a good book in front of the fire or watch a box set on the Smart TV. When it comes to mealtimes, the dining room comfortably seats six for an indoor celebration, or you can make the most of good weather with a BBQ out on the patio. The three bedrooms suit a multi-generational family, with a king-size, double and bunk room for younger guests. If you’re bringing your own outdoor equipment, the garden has space to store bikes, canoes or paddleboards.
Fairbourne Beach is just 350 metres from the property, with wide stretches of sand at low tide providing ample space for children to play and dig. The village is also home to a nine-hole links golf course that welcomes beginners. One of the most memorable days out is a trip on the miniature steam railway from the village to the Mawddach Estuary and connecting with the ferry to Barmouth. Here, ice cream parlours and amusement arcades provide classic seaside fun. Walking and cycling are big draws in this area too, so pack your rucksacks and set out on the Mawddach Trail (6 miles), where gorgeous mountain scenery rewards your efforts.
