The Seashell Harvester

The Seashell Harvester: Gwynedd

This family home is mere footsteps from Abersoch’s soft-sanded beach, and a short dander sees you in the centre of this harbour town for meals out and coastal strolls. It feels undeniably beachy in a white clapboard exterior reminiscent of the beach huts nearby. Inside, the space is far from shed-like though, with towering ceilings in the open living area and a wall of windows showing off the view of the fields outside Abersoch. A cast-iron stove in the living room and purring Aga in the kitchen provide warmth in a traditional way and the dedicated double wine fridge in the dining area can keep your whites cool as you like.

If the sun makes an appearance, there’s a long dining table for the group out on the patio, and an added bonus is the rooftop balcony, accessed by a spiral staircase, and looking out over the countryside towards the sea.
