All was glorious with the property - peaceful, well-equipped, and clean. Harlech is a dream destination and we loved returning to the village after 2 years away. Our dog Arnie loved the sandy beaches and dunes of Harlech and appreciated the welcome treats. Sadly after long dog walks we did find the double mattress was pretty uncomfortable though - sinking in the middle and sides - which although not unbearable did mean a trip to the osteopath on our return home. Did attempt to sleep on the single bed but this was really hard and uncomfortable, Also due to the chilly weather it would have been nice to have had more than two days supply of wood for the burner but after a drive around we found a garage stocking much-needed supplies. All in all though a truly lovely spot for a holiday - we loved it and hope when finances allow us to return to North Wales again one day.

Cottage has everything you need though the kitchen is very small for cooking. Beds comfortable although the bed in the second bedroom is short for an adult according to our adult son. Bathroom with shower very nice with a heated towel raÃl. Complimentary toiletries and a welcome pack much appreciated. Would definitely come again, highly recommended for 2/3 people
