    “Wow, what a fabulous cottage to stay in.”

    The cottage is well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Close to Harlech town center and well suited for day trips to nearby attractions / beaches and nearby towns. The bedrooms are nicely laid out with comfy beds for a good nights sleep after a day of adventures. It is very comfortable, quiet and has a homely feel. Parking is very limited, however there is a free car park near town and a closer paid car park if needed. My only grumble would be, not having a washing machine ...

    The cottage is well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Close to Harlech town center and well suited for day trips to nearby attractions / beaches and nearby towns. The bedrooms are nicely laid out with comfy beds for a good nights sleep after a day of adventures. It is very comfortable, quiet and has a homely feel. Parking is very limited, however there is a free car park near town and a closer paid car park if needed. My only grumble would be, not having a washing machine. Even though it is stated in the listing when booking, the closest laundromat is in Porthmadog, and if it had one I would have given five stars as it saves the hassle of traveling to town for laundry day. We did have a query, however Simon who manages the property was quick to solve it and eager to help. All in all, this is a fantastic cottage to stay in and we will definitely be back.
