Gwel Y Castell Reviews

Verified Customer Review
27th July 2025
House was just as it looked in photos - it was clean, comfortable and we really enjoyed the outside area. The house is on a small caravan park which was really quiet and obviously very well maintained. It was halfway between the town and the beach which meant it was easy to walk to both without the need for taking the car. We had a really relaxing and enjoyable stay and would love to return. Our only negative would be the lack of essentials such a salt/pepper/soap which meant we really did need to bring the kitchen sink with us! All in all, a lovely place to stay. We hope to come again!

A beautiful house in a peaceful location right by the beautiful beach at Harlech! Everything was perfect about the house, and we will definitely be returning in the future.
