    I liked the location and being able to walk to the beach nearby (at low tide) and also up onto the hill behind the house. 5 minutes cycle ride into Barmouth. The top floor bedroom has a great view from the sofa - good space to retreat to. The stairs to the top floor are very steep and more akin to a ladder - not recommended for children or the less agile. I had one classic sunset during my stay. The patio at the front was pleasant in the evening despite the main road running past the front of the house. As stated in the details there is no washing machine.
