Self Catering in Gwynedd - Harlech

Wonderful holiday home
Redwood is a lovely quiet house, don't be put off by the rather foreboding estate. The house is right at the end overlooking trees and fields. Very clean and modern with everything you could need, plus extras such as wine and beer! Owners very kind and helpful. My only gripe was with the agent, Sykes, who have a harsh policy of not refunding any money if you have to cancel because of illness, even if they are able to relet the house. I know the owners get no extra money, this goes to Sykes. Okay I would expect to lose the money if they weren't able to relet, but would expect a partial refund if they could, this is just plain greedy. Air BnB usually has much more customer friendly terms. We ended up not cancelling, and were able to go for two nights, but managed to pack in Snowdon railway (not worth the money at all in my view), Portmeirion (absolutely fantastic), Barmouth and Bala (both wonderful). Gorgeous views on the drive to all places, much better than views from the Snowdon train and certainly better than the view of dense clouds at the top! The whole area is beautiful and I would highly recommend Redwood as a central base.

Perfect Family holiday
We've just spent 7 days at Redwood. By far the best holiday rental so far in UK. Every need met for self catering. Very homely. 25 min walk to the glorious Harlech Beach and close to shop, pub and railway station. For us was fab getaway from city life and perfect base to explore the beautiful Snowdonia. Portmeirion and Porthmadog 20 mins drive away and bit further to Criccieth, Abersoch and their gorgeous harbours and beaches. Barmouth also very close by. We will definitely be returning!

House Estate Location
We only stayed 2 nights and came home. Location is not good the house is on a housing estate which looks much nicer in the pictures than it is. The area leaves a lot to be desired. If you want a holiday on a housing estate and you can turn a blind eye to it, then go for it. We would not have left a holiday had we not had good cause to. The grassed area had dog muck on it as people on the estate let their dogs off on it. We would not recommend this housing estate for a holiday.
