The house was a perfect base for family and friends to get together with every thing to hand you could possibly need and more. Lovely setting with walks straight from the house or a close drive to many lovely places to visit. Garden and bbq a treat if you get the weather and the rooms were spacious and well set out which gave a nice flow to the house with a great living space and kitchen in which to come together.The little ferry ride to Barmouth is great and worth checking out.

Lovely holiday home and in a great location. The house was very clean and comfortable with good facilities. There are many great walks in the surrounding area which can be accessed directly from the house or by driving a short distance. There are many other local attractions, such as the Talyllynn Railway which is well worth a visit. Barmouth is also worth a visit and can be reached by a pleasant 2.5 mile walk from the house. I would recommend Hafan Yr Haul as a great place to stay in a beautiful area of Wales.
