What a gorgeous house with amazing views. Beautifully clean and well-maintained. The house is spacious with very comfortable sofas and beds. The hot tub is spotlessly clean and wonderful to relax in after a long day out. It was so convenient to have an electric car charging point right outside. The kids loved that there were TV's in all the rooms. This is the closest we've ever got to perfection in a holiday let!

Our family had a brilliant trip to Harlech. The property was excellent, very peaceful and big enough for all of us and our dog. He especially enjoyed the garden and log burner!! The area was brilliant; we enjoyed the peace and quiet aswell as the daily walks to the beach.
