Cae Besi is a beautiful cottage. The gardens surrounding the flat are delightful. It was a cosy and convenient place to explore the area. The views from the living room were wonderful.

Kath was a super host. The apartment was fine, if a little dated in its contents. The only problems we had were with the two paths leading up from the road. Steep and difficult, particularly in the wet, for older guests.

Spectacular view of Cardigan Bay & the sunsets were very special. The garden's are well maintained & very pleasant to sit in a midst the mature trews and plants. The host was very helpful in all aspects of requests and full of suggestions regarding the area. It was a very special place to stay and the house is full of interesting history.

The apartment is one of two adjoining the owner's house but completely private and with an amazing sea view. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with private parking provided across the street. Harlech beach provides acres of lovely sand, only a relatively short walk down the hill and through the dunes (past the golf course!) Kath is a wonderfulRead more host and we had a fantastic time.

We absolutely loved our stay in Harlech. The apartment was perfect for us (couple with one child). I especially loved the sea view from the bay window. In the evening you can sit and watch the sunset. The garden is also very pretty, though only partly suitable for very small children.

Great view from the lounge, lovely host but is somewhat dated on the inside. Parking could be an issue for some given the steep hill and occasionally busy road to cross. But ok overall.
