Harlech Retreat Reviews

Sally
Lovely, catered for everything x
Matt
We loved our stay here. The views were stunning, there is plenty to do in this area of wales. The property was clean and had everything that was needed. The hot tub was fantastic.
Jason
The location of the property is outstanding and beautifully remote if your searching for complete privacy as a group. Harlech bay is so picturesque and the view is jaw dropping, I spent hours just relaxing with a glass of wine and the peace of the place.
Simon
A great holiday home. Loved it. Three double/twin beds pretty close together upstairs but the downstairs bed and annex are separate to allow space between groups. Be prepared for 10+ minute drive up a single lane road from the main road to get to the property but, for us, the peace, countryside and views that resulted were well worth it. Only recomRead moremendation I'd make would be a shed for bikes. Whilst they are likely safe from theft, you'd want to keep any decent bike out of the Welsh weather! Hide
Louise
We arrived at the cottage and I was unsure on what we were driving too as the road to the cottage was a little scary at first (narrow and steep) but when we arrived was pleasantly shocked at the beautiful stunning views and the cottages. Inside was just as nice and was warm and cosy. People I spoke to (owner and maintenance) are lovely, friendly anRead mored helpful. All of it was just lovely, didn't want to leave and can't wait to get back. Thankyou for a lovely stay Hide

We had a really lovely family holiday for my Mum's birthday. Harlech Retreat is a beautiful property and so comfortable and welcoming. The hosts even left a goodie pack of treats for our arrival. The views were stunning, and the tranquility and birdsong deeply relaxing. We were graced with lovely, sunny weather for our stay which made the views acrRead moreoss the water to Portmeirion and the mountains beyond even more epic. And the vivid sunsets from the hot tub in the evening were very memorable too Hide
Alex
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.
James
Well equipped property. Stunning views in a tranquil setting.
Jessica
Wonderful location where you really feel in the heart of the walking playground of Snowdonia. Just to wake up to the views and witness the changing weather and shooting stars. Cosy and well equipped
Samantha
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

Its hard to overstate how amazing this place is. It is incredibly special and we had such a wonderful time. The epic view is perfectly matched by the beauty of the property - it has everything. Thank you for an amazing stay!
Jane
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
