RecommendedTraditional seaside family hotel above the dunes

Trefeddian Hotel

Aberdyfi, Gwynedd, Wales

Old-school in the best way: the beach is straight over the dunes, there's an indoor pool for when the wind picks up, plus a play area, table tennis and a tennis court. Generations of families return because it simply works with kids, and Aberdyfi village is charming for an ice cream.
