  What an amazing place to stay.

  The location is breathtaking. With the castle right in front of you and views of the sea and the mountains all around. The apartment is beautifully decorated, modern and fresh. The bed is so soft and comfortable. If I had to find a fault with the apartment the only thing I could point out is the lack of a socket next to a mirror to dry and style my hair. There is a full length mirror in the bed room and a mirror over the sink in the bathroom. But there is no socket. In fact the only sockets in the bed room are for the bedside lights, and they are an unusual size ( not standard) I ended up doing my hair in the kitchen with a compact mirror I had luckily packed with me. Obviously this would not be an issue for everyone. The only other problem we encountered was when we arrived there wasn't an allocated parking space free. It turned out that a member of staff from the castle was parking in one of the apartment spaces. Something he continued to do every day, to avoid having to pay parking I can only assume. We were able to park every other day, but I imagine if all the apartments were full and we all wanted to be able to park during castle opening hours this could be a real problem.i must add that the castle cafe is brilliant with great staff and delicious food, the home made cakes were amazing. We will definitely be staying again, and would book the same apartment. Gwern

  Off street parking was a real boon.

  Very spacious accommodation with a great garden. Had a plumbing issue, due to previous, inconsiderate guests washing beach sand down the bath plughole and causing a blockage. Sorted very quickly by the owners and a plumber, although we wasted a morning waiting in for him to clear the problem. Wherever you're staying, please don't swill sand down a plughole...it doesn't go anywhere and creates problems. All furnishings very comfortable, although the double bed felt slightly narrower than a normal double - it may also be that I'm accustomed to a king-sized bed, so I might be wide of the mark.. One minute walk to Harlech High St, less than five minutes walk to Harlech Castle. The time we spent there was mostly in the enormous kitchen/conservatory, which has more furniture than the average house, along with Velux windows in the roof (electrically operated) and a view over the rooftops of Harlech to the Llyn Peninsula. The kitchen is also very well-equipped, including a dishwasher, washing machine and a tumble dryer, although you'll need to take your own detergents, etcetera...a great trade-off when you can go home with barely any dirty laundry. Probably the best TV in any holiday let we've been in. Large and with a live Netflix account, so plenty of viewing choice for those days when you don't fancy braving the Welsh rain. Recommended.

  Communication with Celia was great before and during our stay.

  As there was no one in before our arrival she allowed us to enter the bungalow early which was a bonus. On arrival we were greeted with a clean house and a lovely welcome package including Bara Brith and milk for a cuppa after a long journey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Clyd Fan in May 2021. It is well appointed with everything you need for a lovely break and has that home from home feel. The conservatory is great to rest and unwind in as is the garden. There is the relaxing sound of bird song and although you are close to the centre of Harlech you feel as though you are remote. The property has a great sized lounge with Netflix and a new king size bed which was very comfortable It’s location is great, close to a fish and chip shop and a Chinese takeaway, a minutes walk for a great view of the stunning castle and coastline. The property is literally a couple of minutes walk to the castle and a 15 minute stroll to the coast, maybe quicker if you walk down the world's steepest street. The property is in a great location to explore Snowdonia and all it has to offer. We would definitely stay at Clyd Fan if we were to return to Harlech.

  This was our third year back.

  The cottage was still as welcoming as ever. Conwy is just a short 5 minute drive away where there are plenty of shops and places to eat (restrictions due to covid but most shops are open and cafe doing takeaway) The cottage gives you a tranquil place to escape to yet you are in easy reach of Conwy and llandudno. With Wales being different in relation to Covid restrictions we had already planned ahead and booked to visit Bodnant Gardens and the Welsh Mountain Zoo. I would recommend both places. The rest of the week we filled with beaches and walking on conwy mountain. Most castles will be opening from the 3rd of August but again you need to plan ahead as you would visiting anywhere at the moment as many sites require booking. We will be returning again next year as there are still so many places to explore within easy reach of the cottage. We recommend the cottege and conwy.

  The apartment was a little smaller than we anticipated but well appointed, the biggest issue is or was the constant smell of drains in the bedroom.

  We spoke to your team on Saturday morning following a poor night The Cadw maintenance team responded immediately( on your behalf I assume ) with some strong disinfectant for the bathroom shower and wash basin. This provided some relief but this was the beginning of disinfectant applications throughout the week as the only method of relieving the hideous odour This definitely cast a shadow on our stay and would I recommend the apartment- unfortunately not though the local staff were really helpful These facilities need to be constantly flushed if the smell is to be reduced and I am sure I am not the first guest to comment as I have Unfortunately being a Past Chairman and Captain at Royal St Davids I have been asked how my stay in the apartments went so I had to be somewhat circumspect with my response
