Cliff top house above Harlech Beach

Built in 1904 by an army Colonel who had spent time in South Africa during the Boer War, the design of the house reflects the architecture of the Boers with Dutch gables and red tiled roof making this a most unusual house.

The interior reflects the sumptuousness of the Edwardian period, there is a wealth of antique furniture balanced by stylish fabrics in curtains and bedding. The house is full of character with walls covered in art work of the owner and her family.

The stylish and distinctive bedrooms all have French windows leading out onto the balcony, guests will be captivated by the magnificent bay particularly in the early mornings and the evening sunsets.

8 acres of Gardens at Hafod Wen

There are some 8 acres of grounds to enjoy, the garden is under restoration and garden enthusiasts may find this of particular interest - a perfect garden in which to relax either by dining al fresco on the terrace or sitting out on the decking area and lawns.

Children and adults alike will love to wonder and discover secret little lawns and footpaths and there is a bowling green which guests are encouraged to use and a childrens play area.

This is also a working garden with orchards, vegetable garden, beehives and chickens.

There is private access down towards the beach (plenty of steps but well worth it).

Harlech beach is very special - the wide expanse of sand is never crowded even in high summer and the views of the Peninsula and Snowdon are spectacular.

The Royal St. David’ s Golf Course, one of Wales’ s finest courses, is behind the sand dunes with the great solid mass of Edward 1st mighty castle beyond - a truly unique location.

Harlech Snowdonia and North Wales

There are many beautiful valleys, mountains and lakes in the hinterland. An example is Cwm Bychan with its mysterious lake, feral goats, meandering river and ancient woodlands. It has a timeless quality hard to find in modern Britain.

A short drive away is Portmeirion, the Ffestiniog narrow gauge railway and the whole of Snowdonia to explore. Nearby is Theatr Ardudwy a modern theatre which offers a varied programme of plays, music, dance and the latest films. The foyer and bar area often exhibit paintings or photographic work, a pleasant way to browse with pre theatre drinks!

The owners, who live at the back of the property, are prepared to cook the occasional dinner should guests require it and to offer a certain amount of housekeeping services. They can also help arrange various activities such as mountain bike hire, book tee off time, find active adventure packages, provide local maps and arrange walks of particular interests, including conducted local garden tours.

A wonderful location for a holiday in this clifftop house above Harlech Beach.
