From the owner

Hafod Cae Maen is a luxurious Edwardian villa, offering breathtaking views over the Dwyryd Estuary to the mountains beyond. Situated high above the famous Portmeirion village on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, the villa has been lovingly restored and offers a truly relaxing holiday for those who wish to leave the car untouched, stroll through sub-tropical woodlands and picnic on a deserted beach, or curl up with a book beside the library fire. Hafod Cae Maen is the perfect retreat for those who crave privacy and for children who seek fun and adventure!

The house has a tremendous amount of character and is tastefully furnished and well-equipped. The gardens are beautiful and completely private. Our visitors include couples with a young baby, groups of walkers, friends having a weekend reunion, families celebrating a special occasion or seeking a good old-fashioned "bucket-and-spade" holiday, and everything else in between.

North Wales has a surprising amount to offer - stunning beaches, amazing views, mountains, clean air, wild swimming, lovely walks, impressive castles, narrow-gauge steam railways and lots more besides. It is also becoming a popular centre for adrenaline-seekers with, amongst other things, the longest series of zip wires in the world and the world's first subterranean playground. There is something for everyone!

We can typically only offer changeovers on Fridays (and Mondays out of high season) but can't show this properly on Tripadvisor unfortunately. Occasionally special dates apply eg over Christmas 2023.

Please note that we make a charge for a second dog. If you wish to bring two (or more) dogs please submit an enquiry to us before trying to book as the price will need to be adjusted.
