About this property
The Ingle is a lovingly renovated fisherman's cottage nestled on 'The Rock', a historic conservation area above Barmouth's seafront. The cottage retains much of its original charm with exposed stone walls, flagstone flooring and exposed beams, allowing you to make the most of a romantic retreat. The heart of the cottage is the open-plan living room with a well-equipped kitchenette, perfect for preparing a light dinner for you and your other half, with a bespoke dining table for you to dine at and a cosy sitting area in which to later relax. There is a Smart TV and a flame-effect electric fire, handy for those wintry months. The large glazed doors ensure that you have stunning views of the Mawddach estuary and mountains beyond. Head upstairs and you will find the bedroom with an en-suite, where you can enjoy a lie-in or wake early to a refreshing shower before seeing the local sights and exploring the wider region. At the front of the cottage is a charming sun terrace with outdoor seating, ideal for those long summer evenings where all you want to do is sip a glass of wine and catch up on a good book. The cottage is ideally situated for Barmouth with its wide selection of shops, pubs, restaurants not to mention the stunning beaches and the various coastal and inland walks. There is plenty to keep you busy nearby, just a short drive away is the Coed Y Brenin Forest Park with its mountain bike routes and walks or you could try the historic town of Harlech with its cliff-top castle and the pretty market town of Dolgellau. The Ingle is just what you have been looking for.
Barmouth, a lovely village on the Welsh coast, is surrounded by the Snowdonia National Park. This charming seaside village has a large Blue Flag sandy beach ideal for families.

The views were worth the walk up the steps to get to the cottage.

However, considering previous feedback the shower still floods the sitting room. The bathroom basin is also unusable due to size and positioning. When booking self-catering I expect to be able to cook. The 'oven' is unusable other than for reheating food and is also in a dangerous position. There is also no means of escape if a fire were to occur and you were in the bedroom. The window only opens at the top - I am not sure this complies with fire regulations. The views from the cottage are stunning, that alone made our holiday.

As echoed by others the outside seating could have been better, no chairs as shown in pics just a bench. Luckily we had some camping chairs in the car which we could use. The cottage itself was cozy and comfy, the kitchen area was very limited and as we stayed a week we needed to prepare a few meals and there was very little space to do this but for a short stay it would definitely suffice. All in all we would recommend the Ingle to anyone seeking a short break in a lovely location away from the hustle and bustle but within reach of everything you need.
