Located in Harlech, Gwynedd, Wales, Murmur-y-Don is a charming 1907 Arts & Crafts style house that sleeps 7 guests in its 4 bedrooms. The house boasts stunning sea views from every room (except the pantry and shower room) and features an original Edwardian cast-iron bath, adding to its old-world charm. With over an acre of walled gardens and off-road parking for six cars, the property offers a picturesque and tranquil setting for a family getaway.
The location of Murmur-y-Don is considered to have the finest view in Wales, with an ancestor of the owners having donated the field in front of the house to the National Trust to preserve the view in perpetuity. The house itself is spacious, with 2000 sq. ft of living space, and exudes a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, making it a true family home. However, the property has restrictions on bookings, requiring a minimum stay of seven days with check-in on Sundays due to cleaning schedules.
In addition to its scenic surroundings and historic charm, the vacation home is conveniently located near the beach and offers easy access to attractions such as Eryri National Park and Llandanwg Beach. Families traveling with children can enjoy nearby activities like Go Ape at Coed y Brenin and Penrhyn Amusement Arcade, while water sports enthusiasts can partake in jet skiing and rafting in the area.
