    “We had a lovely holiday at Murmur Y Don – the views over the beach were stunning and we enjoyed watching the weather and tides change from the ”turret”, as well as the steps down to the beach.”

    The house is almost 120 years old, and in some aspects shows its age. If you like your holiday home to be modern, pristine and matching then this may not be the place for you, but we liked all the quirks and character it offered (and did I mention the view?) Bathrooms, kitchen, bed linens etc were all clean, but there were some cobwebs and dust higher up in the rooms.

    The house is almost 120 years old, and in some aspects shows its age. If you like your holiday home to be modern, pristine and matching then this may not be the place for you, but we liked all the quirks and character it offered (and did I mention the view?) Bathrooms, kitchen, bed linens etc were all clean, but there were some cobwebs and dust higher up in the rooms. Disappointing that the Sykes description was incorrect (no shower in the upstairs bathroom, only a bath). Perhaps the description should also mention the steepish and bumpy drive as this could be an issue for some lower slung cars. Some kind of lock on the downstairs shower room door would save potential embarrassment. The issue with the balcony railing should be dealt with as soon as possible because it seems to not feel as safe if there are any children in the house.

The property

Murmur Y Don occupies a prime elevated position overlooking Harlech Beach, locally known as “Good God Corner” for its awe-inspiring coastal vistas.

Dating back to 1907, this distinctive property is set within an acre of mature gardens, offering a peaceful haven for families and friends seeking a scenic Welsh escape.

Inside, the ground floor features a welcoming hallway and a convenient shower room, alongside a well-equipped kitchen complete with an oil-fired Firebird range cooker, electric oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and walk-in larder.

After dinner, relax in the study with books and games or unwind in the sitting room, which flows into a panoramic window room framing breathtaking views.

Upstairs, four bedrooms await: two doubles with French doors to a balcony, another double, and a single, all showcasing uninterrupted sea views.

Indulge in a soak in the impressive 6’ cast-iron freestanding bath or explore the extensive gardens.

Harlech’s dramatic clifftop castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its golden beach are close by, while Barmouth offers a bustling harbour and Victorian promenade.

For scenic walks and cycling, head to the Mawddach Estuary, or venture to Porthmadog for heritage steam train journeys through Eryri’s rugged landscapes and a visit to the colourful village of Portmeirion.

Murmur Y Don is the perfect base for an unforgettable North Wales coastal adventure.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
