This charming holiday cottage, affectionately known as 'The Doll's House', is nestled in the heart of Harlech, Gwynedd, a picturesque seaside town in Wales. Accommodating up to four guests, the cottage features two well-appointed bedrooms and has undergone recent renovations to enhance its light and space, showcasing an upside-down layout that optimizes the living area. The lower ground floor, where the bedrooms are located, is accessed via a steep staircase with alternating treads, a design known as "paddle and oar," which may pose challenges for very young children or elderly guests.
The main living area is situated on the upper level and boasts an open plan design that combines the lounge, dining room, and kitchen. The cozy sitting room is furnished with a large L-shaped sofa, perfect for relaxation by the open fire, and is equipped with a TV that includes a built-in DVD player. Guests can enjoy meals at the small dining table, which offers delightful views over the rooftops towards the sea. The kitchen is well-equipped with modern amenities, including an electric oven with an induction hob, a fridge with a freezer compartment, a microwave, and a toaster, making it easy to prepare meals during their stay.
Conveniently located on the same floor as the living space, the bathroom features a bath with a shower overhead, a toilet, and a wash hand basin, providing essential facilities for guests. The two bedrooms on the lower ground floor include a charming small double room adorned with beautiful fabrics and a second room with two single beds, making it suitable for families or groups of friends. Outside, a narrow graveled area in front of the cottage provides a quaint spot to sit and enjoy a morning coffee while watching the world go by.
Harlech itself is a vibrant town with a variety of small shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as a stunning beach and the impressive Harlech Castle. This location serves as an excellent base for exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Snowdonia National Park, which offers a wealth of natural beauty, including sea, sand, woodlands, waterfalls, lakes, and mountains. Additionally, the renowned Royal St David's Golf Club, a championship links course, adds to the appeal of this delightful holiday destination.
