Tan Llech

Tan Llech is a picturesque stone cottage nestled beneath the impressive castle in the coastal town of Harlech — a charming getaway for friends or families wanting the best of both the coast and the countryside of Wales. Behind its grey-stone exterior is bright, open-plan living, with off-road parking, a pub close by and the beach within easy reach, and it welcomes dogs too.

A stone cottage in the shadow of Harlech Castle

Enter through the stable door into a welcoming open-plan space, with two bedrooms and a bathroom sleeping four. Off-road parking takes the stress out of arrival, and the position — tucked under one of Wales’s greatest castles, a short walk from the sands — is hard to beat for a seaside-and-mountains break. With WiFi throughout and a dog-friendly welcome, it is an easy, comfortable base.

Coast and castle on the doorstep

With its characterful stone, open-plan living and unbeatable position beneath Harlech Castle, Tan Llech is a lovely base for a couple or small family. The beach, the castle and a pub are all close by, with the mountains of Snowdonia rising just inland.

Where it is

Harlech is dominated by its mighty 13th-century castle — a UNESCO World Heritage Site, immortalised in the song ‘Men of Harlech’ — perched above a four-mile sweep of dune-backed Blue Flag beach, and Tan Llech sits right beneath it.

Things to do nearby

Harlech is a wonderful base. The castle is moments away, and the vast dune-backed beach is a short walk for swimming, sandcastles and big-sky strolls. The town also boasts Ffordd Pen Llech, once recognised as one of the steepest streets in the world, and the championship links of Royal St David’s golf club. Portmeirion’s fantasy Italianate village is around twenty minutes north, and the mountains of southern Snowdonia rise just inland for walking and exploring.

Who it suits

With its characterful stone, room for four and welcome for dogs, Tan Llech suits couples and small families who want a charming base combining the coast and the mountains. Being beneath the castle and close to the beach makes it especially good for a seaside-and-history break.

Good to know

The off-road parking is a real bonus in Harlech, and the position beneath the castle, a short walk from the sands, is hard to beat. The stable-door entrance and open-plan living give it real cottage charm, and the dog-friendly welcome means the whole family can come along. The two bedrooms suit a couple or small family well, and the position beneath the castle, a short walk from the beach, makes it a brilliant base for combining the coast with the mountains.
