Ivy Cottage

We had a great week here with our daughter, plenty of space and storage space made things easier.

Everything you could need in the kitchen to cook up a storm. The dog was very happy soaking up the sun in the back garden, as were we! Yes, it's on a hill, but not far to walk up to the castle at all and worth it for the amazing views and sunsets every night. Thanks for everything Judith!

We love this place, really comfortable, fantastic location, superb view.

We will be back for a third visit for sure.

What a lovely cottage.

Very well equipped and laid out kitchen, I love a pantry and the cottage has one. The views from the garden and even from the loo are spectacular. The bed was comfortable, The drive down the hill was interesting, it is steep but it says so in the description. Would highly recommend staying here.

On first impressions, a lovely cottage.

The bathroom and bedrooms were clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. The living room was disappointing.The throws covering the furniture didn’t look clean or smell fresh, and the room smelt very musty. I appreciate it’s an old building, but it was not pleasant. Parking was down a very steep hill and the ground was very uneven, to the point where it scraped the underside of the car.

Cosy, well equipped cottage, very clean and great location for the Castle and shops.

A lovely comfortable property with great amenities.

Beautiful location. Very helpful owner. Cosy and ideal for a couple with a dog called Benji ❤️

Beautiful cottage in great location with everything you need.

We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

We loved our stay at Ivy Cottage, loved the location at the top of the steepest hill in the UK.

Close to the centre of Harlech and a short drive to the beach. The house was very comfortable and quiet, with good quality cooking facilities and provision of basics to get you started for a cosy stay.

This was a lovely cottage for two to three people.

We found it very cosy and it was very well equipped. It's very near to the castle and the shops. The steep road wasn't a problem as the cottage is near the top of the hill. So it's a short pull. However parking is a little way below the house so the combination of the two maybe difficult for some who are less mobile. Although the road is narrow, it is one way so no fear of another car meeting you on a bend! If we were to visit Harlech again we'd be very happy to book this cottage.

Ivy cottage was absolutely perfect for our week in Wales, very cosy and comfortable with everything you could possibly need.

A great base for all our adventures with a 15 minutes walk to the beach (down a very steep hill) and a short drive to Snowdonia National park. Us and our pup would happily stay here again!

Extremely comfortable and well equipped.

In an excellent position. Very characterful house with a lovely view from the garden, enjoyable to sit in the morning with a tea or the evening with a glass of wine. Informative welcome folder with great suggestions for our holiday. A welcome pack of goodies which was really appreciated. Great communication from the owner.

Ivy cottage is a wonderful place to stay, it was very clean and comfortable.

The kitchen is so well equipped, everything you need to make a meal. The garden is enclosed so great for dogs too. The perfect spot for a relaxing break in North Wales. Such a beautiful area, lovely beaches and stunning waterfall walks. The views are amazing. The cottage is situated on a very steep hill, so those with mobility issues may find it difficult. Otherwise great for the leg muscles! Harlech is a lovely little village, views from the castle are amazing, well worth a visit. A great little welcome pack left by the owner was much appreciated. A great place, would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely cottage, beautifully presented and with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable.

The garden is secure and perfect for dogs with Harlech Castle on the doorstep and distant views to the sea.

Ivy Cottage is fabulous,it is one of the best holiday cottages that we've ever stayed in.

Beautiful location,with two gardens,the rear one has lovely views and catches the sun too. The cottage is so comfortable and quaint,whilst it has all mod cons,it's traditional features remain.Obviously much thought was put in to the renovation. Beach is within walking distance and Harlech offers plenty of places to eat/drink,with other places a short drive away. Dog friendly area and very friendly locals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ivy Cottage. Communication from Trudi the owner was spot on. Thanking all concerned.

Beautiful, cozy little cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break in lovely Harlech.

Yes - it’s on a steep hill but it’s fine - good to walk off all the treats! If you want logs for the fire (super cosy), the convenience store at the top of the hill is by far the best price. If you want to eat out, it’s best to book ahead. Owner was very helpful and quick to respond.

Gorgeous cottage in an outstanding location.

The cottage is very characterful and has pretty much everything you would need. It is on a very steep hill and the parking is a bit tricky (passengers have to get out the car so it doesn't scrap on the bottom as you pull in). My only other feedback would be that it would be good to have another comfy chair in the lounge - there is only a 2 person sofa and an armchair, and with four of us staying, I would expect to have seating for 4 in the lounge.

This is a beautiful well cared for comfortable cottage and was spotless with a lovely welcome pack to greet us on arrival .

However we feel that you should highlight in your description that the cottage sits in the middle of “ the worlds steepest street “

This cottage was extremely comfortable and very well equipped.

It was the best bed we’ve slept in too. The owner was very welcoming and allowed us to bring our 3 little dogs. The garden was very secure which really is a must for us. We will definitely be going back to stay at Ivy Cottage in the future as we cannot fault it. Harlech is a beautiful location too. Thank you x

People need to be aware of the steep street of the cottages location

Absolutely gorgeous, one of the best presented cottages we have stayed in and a fantastic location

Loved this little cottage.

It's was very welcoming and homely. It was clean and tidy. All the extra touches were fabulous, wood for the fire, towels, toiletries, little hamper pack, even the throws. Brilliant. We had driven for a good few hours, so the the tea coffee milk sugar were massively appreciated when we eventually arrived. We would definitely come back. Such a cosy cottage. We did have trouble trying to work the oven and hob, but we got there in the end. Maybe details of the workings would come in handy and helpful. Out of 5 we would definitely give a 5+. We had a lovely few days.

Beautiful cottage, well up kept, and good kitchen facilities.

There are 2 downers. 1. It is on a very steep street. It could cause major problems to some. 2. The Internet it very weak making it very difficult watching TV in the evening, as it was constantly buffering.

We had a lovely Christmas holiday at Ivy Cottage.

The cottage was well furnished and very comfortable, ideally situated being very close to the town centre of Harlech and Castle. The owner lives near by and responded quickly, also visited, to any questions we raised. We will definitely stay again at Ivy Cottage.

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful cottage.

Comfy beds, well equipped and a characterful cottage. Great area!

Ivy Cottage is a beautifully presented property with everything you would need to make it a perfect holiday, we enjoyed going to the local beach with our Golden Retriever Molly.

Thank you Trudi

The cottage is well equipped (needs an iron/ironing board) and warm and cosy.

We loved the log burner. The owner also left a breakfast hamper that was much appreciated. The main problem for us was the location. It's position half way down the steepest road in the world presented some problems. The road is single track and bendy and the car park space needs some maintenance, it was tricky to manoeuvre our car. The sign at the top of the road says unsuitable for motor vehicles and its correct. Apart from that the area is lovely and Harlech beach is a delight.

The car parking area needs some work.

Lovely cottage, kitchen well stocked, great enclosed garden for dog.

Amazing views and conveniently placed for the beach, town, castle and easy drive to multiple activities in Snowdonia.

Property as lovely, high quality finish very comfy beds.

Being on a very steep road does present some challenges but the views made the stay well worth while.

Judi the owner was very helpful.

The cottage was really great as was the village of Harlech. The castle was adjacent, and also the village centre. A great stay would recommend to anyone.

The cottage is 10/10.

Full of character yet has all modern amenities and furnished to a very high standard. It is clear the host has taken great care in putting everything together - it’s a very comfortable & cosy place. We were welcomed with some lovely fresh bread, eggs, bottle of wine and delicious Welsh cakes! The main bedroom has a very comfy king size bed and the bathroom is modern with a huge tub. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The garden (front & back) is secure which our puppy loved being able to explore in. All in all, cannot fault this place - it’s a true gem in the heart of Harlech. Walking distance from the castle and lots of eateries & shops and a 5 minute drive from Harlech beach which must be the most beautiful beach we’ve seen in the UK. We would love to return to this little cottage someday for another little getaway.
