The stunning mountain backdrop is dotted with generations-old Welsh hill farms. This beautiful seaside holiday cottage in Dyffryn Ardudwy near Barmouth is also close to Pen Llŷn, Harlech, Dolgellau, Porthmadog, Criccieth and Portmeirion. Flanked by the Rhinog mountains to the east and the Irish Sea to the west, you can expect epic sunsets and rugged, timeless landscapes. Drive around ten minutes south from the cottage to get to Barmouth’s sandy Blue Flag beach which stretches for two miles and is perfect for picnics, swimming, paddling and surfing.
