“The position at the top of Harlech offers a commanding presence, with the castle and shops within easy reach and convenient parking to the rear. It's clear much thought goes into the comfort here, from well-appointed rooms with quality amenities to truly excellent breakfasts that cater thoughtfully to varied needs. I particularly appreciated the option for a pre-ordered pie dinner, a rather civilised touch, alongside a well-stocked bar complete with board games.”
