The seaside town of Pwllheli in North Wales is a wondrous secret, its sandy beaches almost deserted, and it’s yours to discover from this sunny bungalow. Further along the Llyn Peninsula lies Abersoch (a fifteen-minute drive away) – a cool beach town that oozes charm. You're equally well served if you're a hiker keen to take on Snowdon, with the rocky terrains and hikes of the national park within an hour of your front door. The countryside views at this bungalow reach every corner, with floor-to-ceiling patio doors letting the outside into the huge kitchen, and flooding the place with natural light at the same time. The seaside prints on the wall are by local artists and are for sale if any take your fancy. Dine at the picnic bench on the wrap-around terrace, which boasts sea views, keeping the coastal vibe alive. Throw some logs on the wood-burner when the sun dips under the horizon and keep cosy warm in the living room.
