Fron Hyfryd Cottage, Harlech
Fron Hyfryd Cottage, Harlech
Fron Hyfryd is a spacious two-bedroom cottage very close to the centre of Harlech. It features a fully equipped kitchen, including a microwave, oven, dishwasher and washing machine. The lounge is very comfortable and has TV and wifi internet. One end of the lounge has a good sized dining table and chairs.
The small private garden has an outdoor dining table and chairs and is fully enclosed to keep pets and children from wandering.
The high street is a one minute walk down the hill, with shops, cafes and restaurants, grocer, hardware store, art gallery, and the famous Harlech Castle. Just note that the hill is steep and could be a big challenge for anyone with limited mobility.
A car parking permit is available for the public carpark.
This is a great place for families or a group of friends visiting North Wales.
This cottage is right in the heart of Harlech, close to shops, places to eat and Harlech Castle. The views over the castle and out to sea, across to the Llyn Penisula are stunning.
Those who have limited mobility might find the steep hill rather challenging so consider that. If you want a full description of the hill do please call us. Also, parking the car on the hill is not for the feint-hearted, but there are other places to park, and there is a parking permit.
In addition to the two bedrooms there is a small room with folding desk and chair that is ideal as an office or study for those who need to keep in touch with the working world. Alternatively the room could be used for a child's cot, and the desk could be used for baby changing.

A steep hill winds up the mountain from the centre of the idyllic town of Harlech, and a hundred yards up the hill is a stone terrace cottage called "Fron Hyfryd". A more ideal location for a vacation would be hard to find. Overlooking the castle and the sea, this traditional cottage is off the high street yet very close to all the amenities of the town, including the grocer "Y Groser Harlech". They have an abundance of locally-sourced foods and a tasty fresh delicatessen, Welsh cheeses and wines, served by friendly and courteous staff.
A little way along the high street, past the gallery, is a hotel and restaurant with stunning views over the dunes, the sea, and the famous Harlech Castle. Along the high street are an assortment of charming shops and places to eat. The gallery, "Galeri Harlech", has regular art exhibitions and a free invitation to play the musical instruments.
The ambience of Harlech is enviable! Such a well appointed town the size of a village an crammed with picturesque buildings and streets. Some of the streets are very steep, one claiming to be the steepest in the world! At the hardware shop, "Seasons and Reasons", you can buy a T-shirt to show you've walked this hill. It is one of those shops where you can buy almost anything you need for every job, as well as newspapers and beach kit.
You can walk from the town centre to the beach (down a steep hill of course) and the views are amazing. At the bottom of the hill is Harlech railway station where you can travel to Porthmadog, Criccieth and Pwllheli on the Lleyn Peninsula, or you can go south to Barmouth. There are lovely sandy beaches all the way along the coast, and you can follow the coast path for miles. If you want to walk in the mountains, there are many narrow roads taking you to the start of some tracks and paths up into the Rhinog mountains. Very quickly, as you gain height, the views out to sea are stunning. You really need a map to safely navigate the mountains, but you can see a lot from the car and explore lakes and waterfalls.
Fron Hyfryd itself is a spacious two to three bedroom property with a double bed in one room and twin beds in the second. The third room is suitable as an office or a bedroom for a child's cot. There is an upstairs WC and shower room. Downstairs, there is a comfortable lounge with real log burner and a good sized dining table and chairs. Outside in the back garden, you can sit at the table and chairs and enjoy views of the castle and the sea. At the front too, there is a small space to sit outside and see similar views.
Fron Hyfryd is pet friendly and one or two well-behaved dogs are welcome. Parking is available outside on the hill, Pen Dref, but it is very steep and people usually put a stone under the wheels. If you find that challenging, there is a parking permit provided for the Council car parks just a short walk away.
