“A lovely, comfortable place in a beautiful location.”

The cottage was extremely well-equipped but there was no WiFi.! Some people want to get away from such things on holiday but, although we are in our late 70s and early 80s, we missed it a lot as we subscribe to, and download, our newspaper online so had to buy one! We also like to look up local information such as restaurants etc. We would probably not go back because of it, and it must be a negative for younger people! ...

The cottage was extremely well-equipped but there was no WiFi.! Some people want to get away from such things on holiday but, although we are in our late 70s and early 80s, we missed it a lot as we subscribe to, and download, our newspaper online so had to buy one! We also like to look up local information such as restaurants etc. We would probably not go back because of it, and it must be a negative for younger people! The other downsides were not being able to open the windows, due to secondary double glazing, and the fact that hand towels were not provided. However, apart from the above, a really nice cottage, and we felt very much at home. We forgot to leave a gratuity for the cleaner but arranged for a friend - who lives in the High Street - to drop one into Bron Castell’s’ post box with a note of thanks from us. June Taylor

Thank you for your feedback and glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Bron Castell. Wi fi is not currently available at the cottage - as was stated in the Sykes description- but there is a good phone signal in the area and usually 4G signal can be found. We are, however, looking to install WiFi in the next few weeks for the benefit of our guests. Plenty of towels are provided and we are sorry that you were unable to locate the hand towels. We are also sorry that you were unable to open all the windows. We are always happy to help guests with issues like this if only they would contact us during their stay. We are sure though that you found the stable door into the kitchen diner provided plenty of fresh air during the hot summer days . We hope that we can welcome you back to Bron Castell in the future.

“We were delighted with the cottage and it's great position near the castle and high street.”

We felt very comfortable and found the home very warm and cosy. We loved sitting with a mug of coffee in the garden watching the sun go down, looking out towards the golf course and sand dunes. We loved walking down to harlech beach with our dog, it's such a beautiful beach. And it was an easy drive to snowdonia Criccieth Porthmadog and portmeirion. We would recommend and would stay again.

“We had a fantastic few days at Bron Castell.”

The cottage is a lovely spacious accommodation in a fantastic location in the centre of Harlech. We must say the listing doesn’t quite do justice to how amazing the views are from the cottage - breathtaking scenery of the coast, golf course and castle. It was perfect for us with young babies - lots of space and great for a couple of nights of either cooking on the Rayburn or getting a takeaway. The owner was very helpful and we just wished we had booked an extra couple of nights! We would highly recommend and would love to stay again in the future. A real gem.

“The dishwasher didn't work properly - the front doesn't go all the way down, and the dishes didn't wash properly (blocked rotating arm possibly, and dishwasher out of salt).”

The location was superb - couldn't have been better, 10 mins walk from beach, and just below castle in the middle of town. Perfect. Nice cafes close by. A coffee pot / French press would have been nice There was no internet, and we were not made aware of this before arrival.

“Bron Castell is a beautiful house in a superb location.”

It is well equipped and comfortable. I made the stupid mistake of closing the Yale locked door with the keys and all my possessions inside. I was extremely grateful to the Menai representative who found a solution and to the other representative who drive several miles to get a spare set of keys for us. Please thank them both on our behalf. I would suggest, however, that it might be sensible to pay the Castle gift shop to hold a spare set, along with the keys for the Castle apartments, just in case any other guests get carried away with the beauty of sitting up on the little lawn looking out over the rolling dunes and the sparkling sea and rushes out of the back door without stopping to put on the latch!

“This was an excellent house for our family of 8.”

It has great character and is beautifully and comfortably furnished. It's up a steep hill leading to the castle, but only 10 minutes walk from the beach. It has a Raeburn, but it wasn't too complicated to use. We found everything we needed in the village, and particularly enjoyed our early morning reads with coffee in the little garden, with lovely views. Angela, the warden, was very kind and helpful.

“Lovely cottage with fantastic views.”

Whilst the nitty gritty was quite specific regarding the steep steps to the garden - parking could be an issue for some visitors. We had 2 4 x 4 but managed (just) to park in the space provided. Bigger cars may have had an issue here. Also the outside street light on the house was annoying.
