The outstanding feature of this cottage is where it is, the views are spectacular, Harlech is a gem of a spot for a holiday. The only fly in the ointment for us is for some reason we could not fathom everything in Harlech shuts all of the time. Even the cashpoint. Shout out to Bean and Blwm who were open and made the best pizza. The cafe in the castle visitor centre makes outstanding breakfasts and cakes.

The owners were friendly and helpful and we appreciated the welcome Welsh cakes. The cottage was large but also cosy and we were able to relax and recharge.

A beautiful property, with everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. We arrived a little later than planned and hadn't had time to pick up a few essentials, but there was a lovely welcome box, and milk in the fridge, which we really appreciated. We instantly felt very welcomed and relaxed. The beds were so comfortable - like sleeping on a fluffy cloud and so peaceful. We are grateful that the owner allowed us to expirience beautiful Bron Castell.
