Beach Haven (Hafan y Traeth)

Hafan y Traeth (Beach Haven) is a stunning one bedroomed property situated on the sea front in Barmouth. Step out of the front door, cross the road and you are on the beach!

The property is a former toilet block which has recently been demolished and rebuilt. It now offers bright, modern and beautifully furnished holiday accommodation. Every window overlooks the sea with amazing views of the sunsets over the bay. We welcomed our first guests in 2024 and have been delighted to receive some fabulous reviews!

The property comprises an open plan sitting room, dining area and kitchen. There is one large bedroom with a compact shower room.

Parking
The property does not have private parking. We have a parking permit for free parking for one vehicle in several long stay car parks in Gwynedd so you can also use it on days out too! The nearest car park is Black Patch which is approx. 200 metres from the property. On street parking is available opposite the property but this is not covered by the permit and has to be paid for at a meter. There is limited free on street parking behind the property.

The car parking permit must be left in the property on departure. If the permit is not available for the following guests, a £100 fee will be charged by Vrbo.

Dogs
With the beach at the front door, it is a perfect location for your furry friend. They are very welcome (two maximum) but we would ask that they are not allowed on the furniture or in the bedroom. Please bring your own dog bedding.
