Location, location, location! If you're looking to spend your holiday in a beautiful coastal property then this historic Harlech holiday cottage with spectacular views could be the one. Originally built by the Bournville chocolate company for employee holidays, Sarn Badrig sits at the southern end of Harlech's four mile long sandy beach and enjoys spectacular, uninterrupted sea views and direct access to the beach via a path at the bottom of the garden.

The coastal town of Harlech is just a ten minute walk from the cottage. Known for its mediaeval castle and impressive golf course, Harlech is a small, friendly town with a variety of independent shops and cafes scattered along its picturesque high street.

Sleeping up to ten guests in five bedrooms, Sarn Badrig enjoys impressive sea views from almost every room. A real mix of old and new, this historic Harlech holiday cottage with spectacular views has retained many original features including wooden latch doors and slate flooring which add to its character, while a modern extension and wraparound glass balcony create a spacious, contemporary feel and make the most of the picture perfect location.

On the ground floor is a country style kitchen with views over the rear garden. Off the kitchen a hallway leads to three bedrooms; a bunk room, perfect for children with colourful beach themed curtains; a twin with vintage bed frames dressed with cosy Welsh blankets, and a double with subtle coastal themed decor, a feature vintage style bed and wonderful views. At the end of the hall is a shower room, as well as a bathroom with an original deep, sit-up bath that's surprisingly practical for bathing sandy children after a busy day at the beach!

Also on the ground floor is a spacious living-dining room with huge patio doors which flood the room with light. The large farmhouse style dining table and two comfy seating areas make this the ideal space for sociable family get-togethers.

Stairs lead off the living room to the lower ground floor where you will find a further two double bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room. These light, bright bedrooms feature another statement bed and a further large picture window and patio door leading directly into the garden.

The extensive gardens are simply stunning with multiple seating areas. Off the living room is a large wraparound veranda with a glass balcony designed to make the most of the uninterrupted sea views; to the side of the house a pleasant paved patio with outdoor furniture makes a perfect breakfast spot, while a second patio area boasts a large dining table, along with a built-in BBQ and a chiminea to ward off chilly evenings. Soak up the sun on the garden loungers, or relax under the shade of the mature trees, the choice is yours.

With parking for three cars, a spacious living area and plenty of outside space this Harlech holiday cottage with spectacular views is ideal for extended families or friends sharing, offering ample space to socialise both indoors and out.

Location

 

This Harlech holiday cottage with spectacular views is located at the end of a beautiful four mile long, sandy beach, a little over a mile from the centre of the town and within easy walking distance. With extensive gardens and direct access to the beach you could easily spend your whole holiday at Sarn Badrig itself, but if you prefer to get out and about there is plenty to do in the local area.

Harlech is known for its impressive clifftop castle; built in the 13th Century, the castle was once surrounded by the sea, today it is a UNESCO world heritage site and sits in the centre of this attractive little town. With a new visitor centre and Caffi Castell Harlech is well worth a visit and makes a fun day out for kids and adults alike. Combine a visit to the castle with a wander along Harlech’s picturesque high street where you’ll find a small selection of independent shops and cafes and a tempting ice cream parlour. Take a walk up Ffordd Pen Llech, one of the world’s steepest streets, follow Meirion’s trail, a series of carved ‘storytelling chairs’, through the town, or enjoy the Harlech Nature Trail, a short round walk which winds it way through a pleasant woodland area.

Golfers may want to play the renowned Royal St David’s course which sits below the castle, or visit nearby Porthmadog Golf Club. Children will enjoy a trip to Harlech leisure centre for a splash in the pool or to have a go on the climbing wall, and younger children will love a visit to nearby Llanfair Farm Park where they can get up close to a variety of small animals or have fun on the outdoor playground. Also in Llanfair the Slate Caverns provide the perfect wet weather activity; explore the underground tunnels with a self-guided tour through the man made caverns in one of the oldest slate mines in the world.

A short drive south will take you to the coastal town of Barmouth which is well worth a visit, or drive approximately 20 minutes north to the quirky Italianate village of Portmeirion, or a few minutes further to neighbouring Porthmadog, home of the famous Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway; a further 10 minutes will take you to Criccieth where you can visit the ruined castle or enjoy lunch at Dylan’s on the seafront.

A warm and comfortable house with amazing views. Three generations spent a wonderful New Year there with great walks and runs from the house, even a dip in the sea for some! The direct access to the beach is a real bonus and when we saw the sun the sunset and light across the bay on the mountains was impressive. Some snow added to the picture. Some minor quibbles – only eight chairs round the dining table in a house for ten, limited work surface space in the kitchen and no tea towels supplied, the mattress in the double bedroom next to the twin could be better. However, none of these detracted from the whole group, from 10 years to 80 years having a great holiday.

If you’re scrolling through properties to stay in North Wales, don’t bother looking anywhere else! Sarn Badrig is a fabulous house offering quality accommodation with unbeatable views and direct access to a wonderful beach. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly. We had a family get together and will definitely be booking again for next year. Thanks again for a fantastic weekend.

Wow, what a beautiful property! We booked this property for my Mum’s 70th Birthday surprise stay. She actually cried when she arrived. The views are spectacular and the house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The welcome goodies were appreciated also.
We would definitely book this again and would highly recommend anyone to experience this wonderful property. A big thank you to Dioni holidays for their communication from start to finish when booking. Also to the owners for sharing this beautiful space with us all.

Wow, what a beautiful house in a gorgeous setting.
Everything you need was there and believe me you won’t want to leave it. The pathway to the beach is very steep I couldn’t make it as I have arthritis but everyone else managed and loved it. I’ve already booked my next stay here.

We had an amazing week at Sarn Badrig. A lovely house with lots of space for the little ones to run around. I can’t count the number of times we said what an amazing view. Such a wonderful location.
Thanks

Spectacular place in a fantastic setting. The whole family loved it here, especially our toddler. It was so nice we had a marriage blessing ceremony on the lower courtyard, and a pod of dolphins showed up in the bay below the house. Perfect.

Wow!! We absolutely loved Sarn Badrig! Stunning house beautifully decorated with the added bonus of that spectacular view and path to the beach. Great walks around the area and fabulous food in the local restaurants. Active weekend but the house is sublime and we all felt totally refreshed and chilled. Thank you to the owners for sharing this idyllic place ❤️

A wonderful experience from start to finish! The communication from both Dioni and the property owners was first class. The property… well Sarn Badrig is perfect in every way. A beautiful setting, the decor is a lovely mix of old and new, and it is kitted out with everything we would ever need for our stay. A welcome pack of tasty Welsh goodies was a lovely touch, and we got lucky with hot and sunny weather. We were able to enjoy lots of time in the garden and visited the beach (we found the top road impassable for us and the steps were tricky but we made it!)

Overall a perfect weekend, and one we hope to repeat in the future. We will definitely be using Dioni again for a special break!

Thank you!
Gill
