About this property

Gwel-Y-Castell - a self catering cottage that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

A spacious and modern detached property, Gwel-Y-Castell is a stylish holiday cottage near Harlech Beach sleeping eight people in total. The large property features a number of reception rooms and is a short walk from the golden sand beach, with fabulous views of Harlech Castle. With a wonderful outdoor living space to boot, this property is perfect for both summer and winter trips to the North West Wales coast.

The front door enters into a hallway leading to the kitchen and lounge diner to the left. The modern kitchen includes units running down one wall, with a breakfast to the opposite wall and a large American style double fridge freezer finished in stainless steel. The cream coloured shaker kitchen units are fitted with a grey stone effect worktop. A double oven and gas hob sits in the corner, with a toaster, kettle and built in dishwasher also included. There's ample worktop and storage space, making it the perfect kitchen to stock up with supplies for a great self-catering break. The breakfast bar opposite is a perfect spot to take a seat on one of the modern stools for a quick breakfast, or to simply sit with a glass of something cold. Beautiful wood strip flooring is laid under foot and runs through into the adjacent lounge diner.

The stunning open plan living space is perfect for gathering together for social evening meals, before retiring to the comfortable lounge area focused around a roaring log burner built into a stone inglenook fireplace constructed of stone. A modern chunky dark wood dining table seats eight with a combination of bench seating and stylish brown leather chairs. Two brown leather sofas and a patterned wing back armchair are located around a coffee table facing the cosy fireplace, and the room features a Smart TV located in the corner. A secondary reception room to the opposite side of the property doubles up as a games room. The bright cosy room features two fabric sofas and a coffee table, along with two brightly pattered armchairs facing the TV unit with Playstation, meaning the space can be used as a cosy reading area or a games room, where the children can have their own space.

Doors from this room lead through to a useful study area with desk, a separate utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a further cloakroom. Completing the ground floor layout is a large double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The bedroom features a large double bed, sitting alongside modern bedroom furniture and two comfortable armchairs. The en-suite, which can also be accessed via the hallway, is modern and stylish with a walk in shower cubicle, modern freestanding bath, basin with vanity unit and WC. Pale stone effect tiles on the floor contrast nicely with the darker slate effect wall tiles along one wall.

Stairs from the lounge lead to the first floor of this fabulous and stylish holiday cottage near Harlech Beach where a further two bedrooms are located, alongside a shower room. To one end, a large double bedroom features a grey divan bed with soft Egyptian cotton luxury bedding. Bedside cabinets, a dressing table, chest of drawers with TV and wardrobe are all finished in grey with wooden tops. Completing the layout, two brushed fabric side chairs are located in the corner with a small round coffee table. The feature wall is painted blue, with the remainder of the room a bright white, with a plush grey carpet.

The second bedroom, to the opposite end of the landing, is two bedrooms combined and separated by a partition. The door leads into the first area with a single bed to either side, along with two clothes storage units and a TV. A partition divides this area from the main double bedroom space, with a divan double bed against the end wall with bedside cabinets and table lamps. With further storage cupboards and side table, this room combination is ideal for a family with two children or a group who are happy to share. The final room on the first floor is a beautiful shower room, with a large walk in shower cubicle decorated with patterned coloured wall tiles, a basin with storage unit under and WC.

A maximum of 2 dogs are welcome at this property.

What makes this property unique

The setting of this stylish holiday cottage near Harlech Beach makes it a fabulous holiday destination to explore the surrounding area. As well as having the fabulous views of Harlech's 13th century castle, the outdoor space features both a hot tub and covered outdoor kitchen. French doors from the lounge diner lead onto a sunny patio area with rattan lounge furniture located under a covered pergola attached to the property. This provides a great option of sunshine or shade depending on preference, and of course, the Welsh weather. Tucked into the corner of the private garden, a bubbling hot tub will tempt guests in the evenings, for a relaxing soak after a day out exploring or a day on the beach. A rustic outdoor covered kitchen features a sink and a large built in barbeque. The garden of Gwel-Y-Castell is the ideal social space to spend family evenings with alfresco dining and drinking.

With regards to the location of the cottage, you are on Harlech's Beach Road, 200m from a beautiful sandy beach and walking distance to the Royal St David's Golf Course - it's a really great location. Harlech itself has a lot on offer considering it is a small town. There is the castle of course with the attached visitors' centre. The high street has a number of cafes and restaurants and smaller gift shops. At the bottom end of town, there is a swimming pool and climbing wall.

You are really well placed to enjoy Snowdonia. Drive 20 minutes south and you come to Barmouth - a quintessential seaside town with everything you need to enjoy a day beside the seaside followed by a fab evening with all the restaurants, cafes, bars etc - there is lots going on here. A little further south will bring you to Dolgellau where you'll find Coed Y Brenin - a fantastic place for mountain biking and if you have children in the mix, I would strongly recommend a day spent here.

North will take you to Porthmadog and Portmeirion Village. Porthmadog is where you will find all the main supermarkets and a good choice of shops and places to eat. The Ffestiniog Steam train sets off from here before chugging its way up into the mountains of Snowdonia. Portmeirion Village is an Italian inspired village in North Wales and if you like the unusual, you should certainly make a point of going to visit.

The main towns and villages of Snowdonia are between 30 - 60 minutes away in the car and here is where you will find Zip World, Adventure Parc Snowdonia and of course all the mountains, lakes and rivers for walking, climbing, water sports, including white water rafting!
