A substantial building of approaching 9,000 sq ft, known as “Morlais”, an Edwardian house which was originally two separate dwellings constructed in 1908.  The property was initially transformed into a Youth Hostel in 1952, and extended into the adjacent building in 1970.  It is arranged across three storeys, on the sea front, with the top two storeys having sea views.  

The iconic coastal resort of Borth stands on the Cardigan Bay coastline midway between the Dovey and the Ystwyth Estuaries some seven miles north of Aberystwyth.  Borth is located on the Ceredigion coastal path and is a large village of approximately 1,500, which more than doubles during the summer months when the holiday parks, resorts and hotels are full of tourists.  Borth is renowned for its sea front, with an extremely long stretch of sandy beach.  This area is synonymous with outdoor pursuits for which this property's location is ideal.  Borth is surrounded by two protected sites, the Cors Fochno Peat Bog which is immediately to the rear of the property and the magnificent Ynyslas sand dunes, part of the Dovey National Nature Reserve.  The coastal path is  popular with walkers, as are the adjacent Cambrian mountains and Snowdonia National Park.
