Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently noted the property was spotless upon arrival, indicating high standards of cleanliness. The repeated commendation for the property's cleanliness leads to a near-perfect score.
The location is highly praised for its spectacular sea views and proximity to beaches and local attractions. Some guests were initially surprised by the closeness of a caravan park, but this did not detract significantly from their experience.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with special mentions of the beds and the snug. However, there were comments about the need for mattress and bedding replacement, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities like the well-stocked kitchen, hot tub, and underfloor heating are appreciated. Some guests mentioned issues with heating and maintenance, such as loose floor tiles and a small shower, which suggests room for improvement.
The provision of arrival essentials, a well-stocked tea and coffee station, and logs for the burner demonstrate thoughtfulness. Gifts like Prosecco were mentioned, but as these are not guaranteed for every stay, they are a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.
About this property
Harlech 1.7 miles. Resting peacefully in the charming village of Llandanwg, overlooking the stunning North Wales coast, you will find the beautiful cottage of Red Ridge. Ideally situated on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, this beautifully renovated accommodation offers the perfect balance of both coast and country, making the ultimate setting for a relaxing family escape. Be welcomed into a charming hallway, as you return to the comfort of the attractive abode following a fun-filled day at the beach. Leave your coats to hang in the handy storage cupboard, before making your way into the useful utility room to leave your clothes to dry. Freshen up in the downstairs cloakroom and make your way towards the open-plan sitting/dining room, where you can kick back and relax on the plush grey sofas whilst admiring the views of the coast from the large patio doors, emanating light into the heart of the home. Spend your evenings delighting in a delicious group meal at the sociable dining table, lovingly prepared in the fully-fitted farmhouse kitchen, complete with all the essentials for a stress-free self-catering stay. Exchange your most memorable moments from holidays of the past before raising a glass to the action-packed days ahead, and retiring to the warmth of the snug where you can enjoy a captivating movie on the Smart TV as you keep nice and toasty from the heat of the wood burning stove. Be blown away by three bright and airy bedrooms, including a convenient quadruple room boasting two singles and a bunk, a tranquil king-size decorated with crisp white bedding and stylish navy accents, and a fabulous ground-floor king-size with the additional benefit on an en-suite shower room, perfect for guests with limited mobility. Discover a serene bathroom on the first floor featuring a striking free-standing bath with a separate walk-in shower, so guests can choose between a long morning soak or a refreshing rinse before setting about their day. Make the most of the impressive veranda as you delight in dinner alfresco-style at the beautiful outdoor seating area, appreciating this fantastic setting whilst admiring breath-taking views of the sea. When you're not basking in the sunshine down at Harlech Beach, embark on a breath-taking walk along the Wales Coast Path and uncover some of the most extraordinary landscapes along the way. Take a tour of the Llanfair Slate Caverns or wander the grounds of the imposing Harlech Castle, before making your way further into Snowdonia National Park and challenging yourself to a more strenuous hike up the famous Mount Snowdon. Hop in the car and head for the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, where you can jump through enchanting caves on a day spent at Bounce Below. Get your adrenaline going as you fly through the skies at the neighbouring adventure park of Zip World, or learn to catch a wave at Surf Snowdonia. Visit the vibrant town of Porthmadog to watch as picture-perfect fishing boats bob happily in the waters, whilst tucking into a mouth-watering portion of the local fish and chips. Stop by the local supermarket on your way back to the cottage and pick up some fresh ingredients needed to whip up a fantastic family meal, as well as all the household essentials. Make memories with your loved ones on an action-packed adventure at Red Ridge.
Situated in a magnificent position between the mountains and the sea, the delightful small town of Harlech is dominated by its majestic 13th century castle. Harlech Castle is recognised as the most impressive of all those built in North Wales by Edward I and has World Heritage status. The town is very popular with golfers, who come to enjoy the famous Royal St. Davids course, whilst the beautiful sandy beach is wonderful for family fun and long walks. Harlech offers an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants, whilst the whole of the Snowdonia National Park, together with the sandy beaches of Cardigan Bay, are all within easy reach.

The property was immaculate, extremely well equipped and in a great location. It was a home from home, with books, games, condiments and arrival essentials. The owners were great at communicating with us, answered questions promptly. Really loved the added homely touch of the soap and hand lotion at every sink - it smells amazing!! Canât wait until I can buy online. Thank you for sharing your property with us, you made my âspecialâ birthday even more memorable. Lisa and Steve xx

Property is always immaculate and welcoming, if I won the lottery I would try to buy it but with the family history connection I don't think the owners would sell at any price, who could blame them,its a gem and we really appreciate them sharing the property with us. Bryn Jones
