Unwind in the secluded countryside of Snowdonia National Park. For a family escape or group getaway, this beautiful old farmhouse and separate cottage offer so much, including stunning views, stylish decor and heaps of historic character.

Enjoy the incredible views as you arrive along the narrow, mile-long drive that brings you to these two neighbouring properties. In the farmhouse you’ll find flagstone floors, latched doors, old beams and exposed stone. The inglenook in the lounge houses a wood burner, and there’s plenty of seating so you can curl up with a book or a movie on the Smart TV. The spacious kitchen includes a double oven for culinary adventures, and there’s a separate dining room as well as a utility room with a shower, WC and laundry facilities. On this floor you’ll also find a bedroom for one with a double bed. Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms: a king-size, a twin (super-king-size on request) and a room for one with a 4’ bed, sharing a family bathroom. A few metres away, the cottage boasts underfloor heating and many period features, including a beamed, apex ceiling in the lounge/diner, which has a TV and a wood-burner-effect electric stove. It also includes a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom and two further bedrooms - a king-size and a cosy twin. The grounds include a comfy seating area, patio with dining furniture, BBQ, fire pit and hot tub.

This lovely retreat is set on an acre of land 2 miles east of Harlech, where there are shops, restaurants, cafes and takeaways, as well as a clifftop medieval castle and a sandy beach where your pups can run for miles. Within 8 miles you can reach Criccieth Castle and beach, Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park and the fascinating Portmeirion Italianate village.

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
