Property Overview

New to our collection! | A wonderful place for gathering families and/or friends. Tresaith Beach Haven is a bright, spacious Victorian house decorated with a coastal feel in beautiful neutral colours and finished with every convenience you'd need for a relaxing luxury break. The house has an elevated position set up above Tresaith's seafront meaning each front-facing window has uninterrupted views out to the bay.

The house couldn't be in a better position for an easy holiday routine with Tresaith's picturesque sandy beach (Blue Flag) and the popular local pub - The Ship, just 200 yards away.

The interiors are full of character - the owners have sourced lighting and accessories using local materials, and pieces of art from West Wales' local creatives.

On arrival, you will find a welcome hamper filled with luxury local produce.

After a day at the beach, sandy feet and wetsuits can be rinsed-off in the outside shower which is tucked away at ground floor level by the utility room outbuilding and back door entrance to the house.

On warm days you can enjoy opening the front door to let in the sea air, and even sit out on the front terrace for your breakfast or evening drinks. When the colder winds pick up, gather around the log burner in the cosy lounge and put on a film, or perhaps watch the storm blowing in!

Children young and old will be happy spending some downtime tucked away in their own TV/playroom basement which has a wall-mounted TV, 2 sofa-beds and plenty of board games.

Day trips are only a short drive away to beautiful Aberporth and Llangranog; there's also vibrant Newport and Aberaeron if you want to venture further afield.Â

An old crossing point known as 'The Chain' still exists for anyone wishing to wade across the estuary to Traeth Mawr (Big Beach) at low tide (ask a local to point you in the right direction).
