Richmond House

Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri)


This handsome stone-built Victorian town house has four comfortable, contemporary rooms (three, including the large family loft, have sea views) and an attractive garden area for summer lounging on chunky wooden furniture. There's a drying room and secure bike storage, and it's equally handy for the town centre and the beach.
