An idyllic coastal retreat set in an acre of private land 1 mile from Harlech, one of Wales’ most culturally important towns. Comprising two properties, this family-friendly retreat features spacious living areas, a hot tub and easy access to historical and natural attractions across the Snowdonia National Park.

Comprising a stone farmhouse and a separate cottage, this dog-friendly retreat sits in an elevated position that enhances the panoramic views of the mountainous coastline. The farmhouse is adorned with flagstone flooring and period features including exposed roof beams, and these are beautifully complemented by contemporary soft furnishings draped in natural light from multiple angles. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is beautifully appointed and boasts an imposing inglenook fireplace that comes into its own during colder months. A utility room stands nearby, as do a single and a double bedroom. A king-size, a twin and a single bedroom are found upstairs, along with a stunning bathroom. The adjacent cottage boasts underfloor heating and comprises a lounge with tall windows, a bespoke kitchen, a cosy twin bedroom and a king-size bedroom with sea views. The retreat’s patio has enviable views of the surrounding area, best served with alfresco meals and drinks after an indulgent soak in the hot tub.

There is so much to do in the local area, from walking to golf, water sports to fishing. Harlech’s astonishing mediaeval castle lies 1 mile from the retreat, while Criccieth Castle, the Owain Glyndwr Centre, Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park and Portmeirion are within 8 miles. There are beaches aplenty in the area, with Barmouth home to a host of dog- and family-friendly amenities.

Fantastic stay in the most peaceful setting. Did some great mountain hikes and strolls on the beaches in the surrounding area. Relaxing in the hot tub in the evening looking out over the most beautiful scenery topped off a great property. Will definitely return.

We have been lucky enough to stay in many self catering properties both abroad and in the UK, and we can honestly say, Harlech Retreat was outstanding. We stayed with family aged from 1 to 80 and the Retreat was absolutely perfect for everyone. It was cosy and homely but big enough for everyone to enjoy their own space, with all the facilities you Read morecould want . The most spectacular view you could wish for, no matter what the weather and so much to do in the area. A wonderful home from home! Hide

We had a fabulous stay at the beautiful rural farm house, Erw Wen in the Eryri National Park. Yr Wyddfa and mountainous vistas & cardigan bay views were spectacular from here taking in Portmeirion and Criccieth amongst others. A large well equipped modern kitchen and utility. Clean comfy beds. Lovely fireplace to enjoy autumnal & winter nights. StaRead morer gazing is superb with minimal light pollution. The hot tub was a lovely addition. A great base to explore Harlech and yonder. Lovely beaches. Hide

This property is in one of the most beautiful situations possible. The view is huge! The accommodation is well designed and provided with anything visiting families could want. Three generations, the four youngest ranging from 6 years to one, had a brilliant time. Thank you
