Poised on a private estate on the outskirts of the seaside town of Pwllheli, this breathtaking barn conversion offers the ultimate relaxing getaway. Surrounded by undulating countryside views, this home provides all the luxuries of a boutique hotel with the decadence of having it all to yourself. Its combined coastal and country setting is reflected in its steel and stone decor, brought to life with warm touches of colour that invite you to luxuriate in the home’s tall, beamed living room. After waking up under the eaves of the mezzanine bedroom, head outside to the front garden to enjoy your coffee with views of the rolling hills and sheep grazing in the fields below. Then, make your way to the private ground-floor sauna for a sumptuously relaxing way to begin the day before setting off to explore Pwllheli (a twenty-minute walk or a five-minute drive away) famed for its weekly market, watersports, and Blue Flag beaches. Alternatively, head to Snowdonia National Park for an afternoon of hiking, twenty minutes away by car. After a day of exploring, come back home for a delicious meal – you can choose whether to cook up a feast in the wonderfully sleek kitchen replete with a boiling tap and an ice maker – not to mention its gorgeous Belfast sink – or fire up the barbecue for an alfresco treat. Then finish the night off by stargazing around the outdoor fire pit or snuggling up with a glass of wine by the living room’s wood-burning fire before heading upstairs for a wonderfully peaceful night’s sleep.
