Puffins & Friends

This handsome stone barn conversion, commanding magnificent sea views and perched less than a mile from the bustling seaside village of Aberdaron, has undergone quite the transformation since its humble farm beginnings. Inside, the owners have held onto those original lofty oak beams, while everywhere else has been carefully reimagined for modern living. Hunker down beside the snug room's roaring woodburner with a cuppa or spill out into the light-filled, open-plan living space for board game marathons around the dining table. Wherever you choose to be, those jaw-dropping views will be right there with you. But if the weather's fine, you'll want to be outdoors, soaking up those timeless views of the rolling farmlands and glistening Aberdaron Bay from the spilt-level patio as you fire up the barbecue. When the sea finally calls, pack up your buckets and spades for a day at Aberdaron dog-friendly beach – less than a mile from your door. Should tummies begin to rumble, you'll find some of the freshest seafood imaginable at the village's takeaway fish bar – this area is renowned for its fish, lobster, and crab. Then voyage along the coastal paths of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or hop on a... boat to Bardsey Island (from nearby Porth Meudwy) and spot the local puffins and their seal friends along the way.
