Rhiwgoch

Rhiwgoch sits on a quiet rural lane above Harlech, where the castle dominates the skyline and a sandy beach lies within reach. From here you can walk into Snowdonia National Park, cycle through slate-mining country, ride narrow-gauge railways, or drive to Portmeirion, the Italianate village 8 miles away. Porthmadog and Barmouth are also close by. This former farmhouse sleeps 6 across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a woodburner in the living room and a full kitchen for self-catering.

The ground floor holds a living room with smart TV and DVD player, a kitchen and dining space with electric cooker and dishwasher, a utility room with washer-dryer, and a shower room. Upstairs are three bedrooms: one with a kingsize bed, one with zip-and-link singles that can be pushed together, and one with two standard singles. The property includes wi-fi, bed linen, towels and heating. A garden with patio and gas barbecue opens from the house, and there's parking on site and a bike store. One dog is welcome. No smoking indoors.
