We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful holiday cottage, which is superbly located on a working sheep farm between the foothills of Snowdonia to the east and the beaches of Harlech to the west. The setting is wonderfully peaceful, with a stunning outlook, and the cottage has its own private, enclosed garden, which was perfect for our dog. Inside, it is beautifully decorated and exceptionally well equipped, with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen in particular had everything we needed, making cooking a real pleasure. The cottage was also lovely and warm and felt very comfortable and welcoming. There is plenty to see and do nearby, including the slate caverns and Harlech Castle. Further afield, there are scenic railways, Llandudno, beautiful waterfalls, Snowdonia and, one of our favourite places, Beddgelert. Harlech itself has local convenience stores, an excellent Chinese takeaway and there are some very good dog-friendly restaurants in the surrounding area.We would highly recommend this cottage. It is genuinely one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in.

Our family stayed in Ysgubor Cottage in July 2026 and we were very happy there. The location is great and served as a perfect base for our trips. The owner was very friendly, nice, and helpful. The cottage itself was perfectly clean and very well equipped. We would love to come back!
