About this property

This fabulous, mid-18th century, traditional farmhouse commands superb views over Harlech to the sea, over the beautiful Dwyryd Estuary to Portmeirion and over rolling countryside to the mountains of Snowdonia. Standing detached, it is beautifully decorated, double glazed and oil centrally heated throughout. Outside there is a lovely large front garden with patio area and fabulous views. The house is approached to the front or rear via steps. To the rear is a garden with patio area, as well as a wood store. The holiday property is approximately 1 mile from Harlech village and castle and is approached via a paved part gravel drive (unsuitable for low riding sports cars) over farmland, and the nearest neighbour is probably half a mile away.

Lovely Farmhouse in beautiful countryside

We truly enjoyed our time in this lovely and charming farmhouse. Easy 20-25 min walk to Harlech (Harlech Castle and Harlech beaches). The farmhouse had everything we needed for a great family vacation. It's a beautiful and narrow drive to the farmhouse.

Quiet location

The farmhouse is in a lovely and quiet although very remote location. As others have noted, the drive to the property can be narrow in places for the last 5 minutes and does not suite a low suspension car. The property is cosy and well equipped and the view across Harlech is stunning. Communication was excellent.

Brilliant

This cottage and the location are fantastic. We stayed for 4 days and even enjoyed it in the rain. The place is great for all seasons and for both adults and children. The pictures on the site look great but it looks even better in real. We can’t wait to come back one day.

About the host

Hosted by Graham Spalding

We live in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, with our 4 children aged 12, 10, 8 and 6. I used to holiday around the Harlech area or up at Nefyn when I was a child and when our children came along, we started to explore the UK once again. We love Snowdonia and had dreamed of buying a holiday home that would give us access to Nefyn and the Lleyn Peninsular; Snowdonia and also the beach. Garth Mawr provides all this as well as great views over the estuary to Snowdon and over the sea and a large garden and neighbouring land to explore which we don't have at home.

Why they chose this property

We love Garth Mawr for:- its age - it was built around 1750 and in places the walls are 4 or 5 feet thick;- its character - it has lots of nooks and crannies as well as a huge fireplace in the large lounge;- its remoteness - the nearest neighbour is around half a mile;- its size - our family of 6 often stays with friends and their children, so we might have 10 or 11 with the children sharing together. We love Harlech and Snowdonia for:- the walks at Snowdon, the Glyders or on one of the paths that pass near the house;- the beaches at Harlech, Borth-y-gest, Barmouth, Llandanwg;- the day trips to Nefyn and the Ty Coch (pub) on the beach; Caernarfon; Betsw-y-Coed; the cycle centre and tree ropes in Coed-y-Brenin;- golf at Royal St Davids (a mile from the house) and Nefyn

What makes this property unique

We love the remoteness of Garth Mawr - at home we live on a main road and wake to the sounds of the rush hour; at Garth Mawr we wake to silence or the sounds of the country - sheep and cattle. Last year my then 11 year old walked the mile to Harlech with his cousin without us knowing - but it was mostly on tracks across fields and a little on a small lane. We love letting the kids off the leash - they play football or hide and seek in the garden or explore the neighbouring fields and make dens. My wife loves the view from the bed in the main downstairs double bedroom - across the Dwyryd Estuary to Portmeirion and Snowdon beyond. We love dozing in front of the log fire after a day out walking or exploring.
