Cute Bungalow Walking Distance From The Beach | Bryn-Yr-Aur

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.

Location

 

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.

Arrived to find a very clean and warm bungalow. In a good position with lovely views. Not as close to the beach as we had thought it might be, however, a short car ride took us to a very nice beach which also has a cafe serving home made cakes, hot food and beverages.
The bungalow has a lovely modern kitchen with ample facilities for cooking. The lounge has plenty of room and a cosy log burner. There are two good sized double bedrooms and a twin bed room.
The main bathroom is ok. Downstairs separate loo.
The garage houses the washing machine,
Plenty of hot water and heating as you want it.
Meg the owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with.
Nearby Harlech has a few shops. A decent premier store off Harlech beach,

We had a lovely holiday,the bungalow was immaculate like home from home.
We will definitely be returning next year.
We were both sad when we had to return home.
The welcome pack is thoughtful.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bryn-Yr-Aur. The property has been very nicely madeover, but we loved that we were still able to see it’s old bones in places. We booked because we thought our elderly dog Ruby would enjoy it there, but sadly we lost her just before the holiday, however it is an ideal property for dogs.
It has a lovely, big and secure garden and the beach is close by. The views from the property are superb. It’s also very convenient for Harlech and Barmouth, and The Victoria Inn at LLanbedr, which is dog friendly and does good food.
The house was roomy and comfortable, the kitchen had everything needed for cooking, the mattresses were perfect.
My only slight niggle was lack of cleaning equipment, just stuff like tea towels or a dish cloth or sponge to wipe kitchen surfaces down, and if we’d had our dog with us we would have wanted to hoover on checkout day, but that won’t put me off visiting again.

Bungalow was well furnished, equipped and spotless on arrival. Only 2 of us so plenty of room. Would be more than OK for 6.
Sunday to Sunday was easier on traffic.
Well located and plenty of local walks with ‘Mt Snowdon’ just up the road. We know the area fairly well having visited may times over the past 20 years and usually have mountain bikes with us.This year was first time without bikes.
The owner Meg is local and just up the road in Harlech.

Booking process was seamless

Hopefully Bryn-yr-Aur will be available for a return visit again next year

We had a lovely stay at Bryn-Yr-Aur, we didn’t want to leave. The cottage is perfect, so clean and comfortable. We were so lucky with the weather and was able enjoy the garden and the views which are beautiful. Llanfair and surrounding area is beautiful, we will definitely be returning. Great communication with Meg and thank you for the welcome gift of welsh cakes and wine.

Had an enjoyable week at Bryn yr Aur, weather was fantastic and spectacular sunsets. Cottage was clean, but windows needed more attention to fully enjoy the views. all items needed for a weeks stay were provided,well equipped kitchen. Only issues we found were the very low sofas,very difficult to get up from being older ! customers, and a plastic shower curtain that was clingy!Meg was easily contacted whilst there ,to sort any problems, she assured us they are sorting both these issues out asap. Was lovely week away, our dogs had a fantastic time in the fully secure garden .thank you Meg ..lovely welcome pack too . Flowers, eggs, Prosecco,Welsh cakes . 😃

What a lovely place ❤️ Stunning views, beautiful gardens and cozy inside. Just back from a 6 night stay. Peaceful , tranquil and relaxing. This place is well equipped for everything you need from a great kitchen to sunloungers for the gorgeous gardens. Spectacular views from all sides. Easy to get into Harlech and other surrounding places. Great wi fi, smart TV and a log fire if needed. Very close to beach. Walkable but we drove down and parked next to beach. A lovely relaxing stay. Highly reccommended x
