A spacious kitchen with breakfast bar and also dining area, and very comfortable large lounge. We found it well stocked with everything we needed. We had a lovely time and the weather was pretty good. Not to be missed, the walk to Harlech Castle icecream shop returning along the beach. Many thanks to Jamie. We plan to return. Many thanks to Jamie, we hope to return. (The weather was good too).
