Come and stay with us at Yr Adfa - The Retreat, and stride up the 3rd steepest street in the world in nearby Harlech!

Did you know Harlech has just been featured by Countryfile in its roundup of the world’s 5 steepest streets — with Ffordd Pen Llech ranked at number 3?

Famous for its dramatic climb, stunning views and a history that has put Harlech on the map, this iconic street is one more reason our town is anything but ordinary.

Whether you come for the castle, the coast or the challenge of the hill itself, Harlech always leaves an impression.

Don’t let the rain get you down. In North Wales, it can bring tranquility, and a chance to re-set. Yesterday, at this stunning location 10 minutes drive from Yr Adfa holiday cottage, the backdrop to this stunning, muted lake view was a woodpecker’s rhythmic drumming sound, plus twittering birds and ripples.

Come and stay with us, get cosy and choose the slow lane.
