Hafod Cae Maen - a sea view that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms
The books alone can help keep you rooted in this room for days! For the avid reader, the studious or work conscious guest, the desk area is a bonus. You could tinkle on the piano as an interlude or just get cosy by the fire. Next door is the sitting room with wood stove, TV and many games if all that reading, and music gets too much. The airy kitchen has the old terracotta floors big windows and French doors for lots of light. A kitchen with all the gadgets and a large range cooker is delightful with a classical style and locally sourced cool slate tops. A cosy snug to watch TV or help to supervise the chef is tucked in at the side of the kitchen. A large handmade slate and oak dining table is plate ready for the group gatherings and makes for a convivial evening with wine aplenty. Here, a generous welcome hamper greets you loaded with the excellent local treats to get you started.
Head upstairs and light floods into the bedrooms. The main king bedroom is spacious with walls painted in delicate shades, white cotton bedding, firm mattresses and plump pillows. This room is all about the views – a veranda is poised ready to help you enjoy them. Or sneak a quite read on the sofa. Another peaceful king bedroom next door that overlooks lawned gardens and the estuary. Two more rooms have been designed with comfort in mind; sisal carpets, deep rich paint shades and bespoke beds create a peaceful place to lay your head. You won't draw down the blinds as the views are mesmerising and so are the peaceful stars. Both rooms have twin beds that can convert into super kings for couples or those that like to stretch out.
The two traditional travertine lined bathrooms on the landing area are well placed, smart and stocked with fluffy white towels. You can cook together in the kitchen or use the barbecue – there's a big dining out table in the garden – drink fine wines, pick the lavender, nod off in a deckchair - you'll never, evertire of the view. Hafod Cae Maen was designed and built by Caton Haigh a botanist so you be sure some of the plant specimens are very rare. There are swathes of lawn and you're surrounded by bird life and views of the estuary and mountains. As the sun rolls around, the side decked terrace area has more seating and handsome greenery and flowery scents tumble freely around you.
Children will love the huge garden and have their own little hideaway filled with outdoor games it's a handy den – croquet anyone? Tailor-made for hot sunny days and cosy winter evenings, the terrace is perfect for seating the clan outside in all weathers.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

Very relaxing stay
This was our four-month-old puppy’s first trip away and the house provided the perfect setting for him to explore, in particular a lovely walk on Harlech beach. Paul and Claire, the house is kitted out with everything you could need and everywhere was spotless. We had a barbecue soaking in the views and enjoying the surrounding areas. We hope to be back very soon!
