Bryn-Yr-Aur is a cute bungalow walking distance from the beach in Llanfair, near Harlech. This three bedroom cottage which can sleep up to six people has that real unpretentious home from home feel to it and provides a great base for families or friends wanting that traditional sea side holiday. A big lawned garden with lots of hidden seating in quiet corners is another real plus in this one.
A modern kitchen houses a traditional gas hob and eye level oven under a white worktop. The dining area at the far end is a little smaller but, like the rest of the cottage, there are some lovely personal touches such as the hand painted dining chairs and home made seat covers.
A fantastic log burner takes centre stage in the adjoining lounge. Opposite, a large south facing picture window commands a fantastic view down to the beaches of Shell Island. An eclectic mix of ornaments and furniture ensures that the relaxed and homely feel prevails.
Two bathrooms, one with just a WC and washbasin and a second with a shower over bath arrangement plus washbasin. Finally, we have two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom. All on the ground floor of course. All of the bedrooms are nice and bright and include individual and carefully chosen pieces of bedroom furniture.
The cottage is surrounded on three sides by big lawned areas of grass. So plenty of places for you to sunbath throughout the day. There are lots of hidden seats and benches dotted around in shady corners if you want to escape the mid day sun however. The village of Llanfair is very quiet but has a fantastic and quiet sandy beach at the bottom of what is know locally as the zig zag path.
Harlech, about a mile north, is slightly busier. There are a couple of really nice cafes in town two, a couple of pubs and a couple of restaurants to choose from and the world famous castle is a must see of course. The Harlech Royal St David’s links golf course is world-renowned and must have some of the prettiest views of any course in the country.
About 20 minutes to the North, the larger harbour town of Porthmadog has a bigger selection of shops including some larger supermarkets. While the ever-popular seaside resort of Barmouth, 15 minutes to the south has plenty of pubs and traditional seaside fair. Mount Snowdon is about 30 minutes away in the car but I would encourage guests to discover the less well-trodden hills and mountains that rise up just behind the cottage.
