On a quiet cul-de-sac in Llanfair, it's less than a five minute drive into the pretty village of Harlech with its' independent shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, and of course the mighty Harlech castle!
The contemporary kitchen has all the mod cons and equipment you will need including an electric hob, oven and extractor fan, microwave, fridge / freezer, dishwasher and coffee machine. You won't mind washing up with the fantastic sea view out of the kitchen window. The small utility room has a washing machine.
The comfortable sitting room has a wood burning stove, squishy sofas and flatscreen TV and DVD player. The French doors leading through to the dining room means that you can open up the room if you prefer a more open space.
Sliding patio doors from the dining room leads out to the lawned garden with landscaped beds.
There are three bedrooms. On the ground floor there is a double bedroom. Next door there is a bathroom with a loo, wash hand basin and double shower. There are two further bedrooms upstairs. One has a king sized bed and ensuite cloakroom with loo and basin, and the other has twin single beds.

Rhos Wen is less than a ten minute walk to a Blue Flag beach with miles and miles of golden sands backed by the glorious dunes. A five minute drive in the opposite direction takes you to the stunning village of Llanbedr - a picture postcard village - and Shell Island. A little further on is the pretty town of Barmouth where you can enjoy a more traditional seaside day out, riding on the donkeys and eating candyfloss. You'll be hard pushed to fit in all of that the region has to offer...so you might need to come back again!

Stay at the cottage. It was so beautifully maintained and every little detail was thought of. The log burner was a winner and so cosy. We loved our daily walks down to the beach and the views out of the cottage were stunning. We would love to stay again!

We have booked it several times. Some of the photos advertising it on the Sykes website are not up to date and so do not do it justice.
