Only a four mile drive from our cottages and B&B, Harlech is an enthralling place to spend a day out.

One of the most stunning historic attractions in the area is Harlech's magnificent thirteenth century castle, now part of the "Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Harlech, Beaumaris, Caernarfon and Conwy (Gwynedd)" World Heritage Site, reflecting both its historical significance and remarkable state of preservation.

Built by King Edward I during his conquest of Wales, the castle is notable not only for its massive gatehouse but also its colourful history, including seizure by Owain Glyndŵr in 1404 and the seven year siege during the Wars of the Roses (1455 - 1487) chronicled in the famous Welsh anthem "Men of Harlech".

Our nearest neighbours (around 200m up the road from the farm), Plas Gwynfryn, have recently started to host weddings and entertainment weekends. We are the nearest establishment offering accommodation for all the wedding guests, so if you're attending a ceremony or other event and would like accommodation, with parking, within walking distance of Plas Gwynfryn please do get in touch.

We have a variety of B&B rooms (with delicious full Welsh breakfasts provided) and a selection of cottages which allow us to cater for parties of all sizes and requirements.  

The Llanbedr Beer Festival has been attracting people to the area for the last 6 years, this years festival takes place on the 23rd - 24th September 2011.

It is an excellent couple of days entertainment with loads of locally brewed beers, Welsh ciders and foods to sample as well as local bands and singers appearing in the evening. You can find more information on the beer festival's website.

We can provide various accommodation from B&B rooms to self contained cottages in which we offer short breaks and an almighty traditional Welsh Breakfast  if you want to be spoiled!
