Even the Barmouth to Porthmadog bus passes the front of the property. Due to the weather, we did not use the garden but both front and back gardens were well maintained and private. Overall the facilities are very good but it would help with a few items such as a dish drainer and bowl for the kitchen and a toilet brush for the bathroom.

The house and gardens are superbly maintained, still super clean, comfortable with plenty of room and everything you need for a perfect holiday home from home. The views from the living room are still fabulous and the walk down to the beach is lovely - a bit hard work walking back up the hill, nevertheless we still did it - several times! :-) The walk to Harlech along the old Llanfair road which runs parallel to the A496 provides some fabulous views.
