Adam
Our family holiday at Plas Amherst in Harlech was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views and the welcoming ambiance of this beautiful property. The house was immaculate, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location is ideal â just a short stroll from the breathtaking Harlech Beach, where the kids spent hours playing in the waves and sand. We also loved exploring Harlech Castle, which is steeped in history and offers incredible views of the coastline (the cafe isnât bad either). The attention to detail in Plas Amherst is remarkable. Every room is thoughtfully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to enjoy family meals together with ease. The outdoor space was perfect for evening barbecues while soaking in the picturesque sunset. We couldnât have asked for a better holiday experience. Plas Amherst exceeded all our expectations and provided the perfect setting for unforgettable family memories. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful holiday in Harlech! Thank you to the owners for such a fantastic experience.
