The Experience
You approach from the back, down the bumpy track, over the cattle grid… but the glory of this handsome villa is the front and the view. Overlooking the Dwyryd estuary and rolling Welsh hills you’re a ten-minute wander into the Italianate fantasy village of Portmeirion where you’ll find restaurants, cafés and a deserted beach.
The estate is covered in subtropical woodlands and the house’s terraced gardens, part-overrun, are heaven for children to hide-and-seek in. Adults have long lawns and a barbecue for al fresco dining. Inside is comfortable: Edwardian windows and polished oak floors, wood-burners in fireplaces, book-filled shelves. Toys, games and DVDs invite children to settle in, there’s a panelled library with an open fire and calming bedrooms. The master room opens onto a balcony with views over the estuary.
A generous hamper filled with lovely local stuff waits in the kitchen. The best of North Wales is at your feet: Black Rock Sands beach is a 15-minute drive, Porthmadog a 20-minute stroll, Snowdonia not much further.

This is now our 6th stay at Hafod Cae Maen, indicating our enjoyment ion the property. Location is perfectly situated with an elevated view of Afon Dwyryd, a stones throw from Portmeirion Village and walking distance (across country) to Castell Deudraeth. It's a springboard for exploring the Llyn, as far as Aberdaron, Plas Yn Rhiew and walks on Mynydd Mawr to view Bardsey, all doable! The private well furnished garden was a joy in the glorious weather, space for fun and games! The HCM team are really helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Look out for the welcome treats !

“This was our four-month-old puppy’s first trip away and the house provided the perfect setting for him to explore, in particular a lovely walk on Harlech beach. Paul and Claire, the house is kitted out with everything you could need and everywhere was spotless. We had a barbecue soaking in the views and enjoying the surrounding areas. We hope to be back very soon!

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hafod Cae Maen. Thank you so much Paul and Claire for the little touches (flowers and snacks) and all the info (got to love the nice, thick guest information folder.) We were blessed with the weather - cold but dry and bright. An early wake-up on the first morning saw me walking all the routes from the house, seeing the beautiful colours change on the mountains. About our sixth time in the area, but Hafod Cae Maen surpasses all previous accommodation. It is such a comfortable house, with all attention to detail. We will definitely be returning.

Location
The neighbourhood
Set on its own peninsula reaching into the estuary, this fantastical collection of colourful buildings with an Italian influence was masterminded by Welsh architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. Today the buildings are all heritage listed and the site is a conservation area. There are stretches of quiet sandy beaches to discover, Porthmadog has a popular indoor swimming centre and Snowdonia is close.
Local points of interest from Paul de Thierry
- A ten minute walk through woods to Portmeirion village. A truly unique place where there is plenty to look at and lovely woodland walks. Also two good restaurants and a fantastic ice-cream shop!
- Take a picnic and walk through the sub-tropical woodlands of Portmeirion to a deserted beach.
- Beddgelert, Harlech and Capel Curig are within easy reach and wonderful places to visit
- Boston Lodge halt for the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland narrow-gauge steam railways is ten minutes by footpath. Steam enthusiasts can also book to go on Snowdon Mountain Railway.
- Ideal base for walking in the Snowdonia National Park and visiting stunning local beaches including Harlech and Morfa Nevyn.
- Adrenaline junkies can experience an extreme zip wire ride or bounce on a gigantic underground trampoline at Llechwedd Slate Caverns while their non-adrenaline junkie friends visit the historic slate mines!

Introducing
Paul de Thierry
As a child, Paul de Thierry visited his grandfather who lived beside the local steam railway. He fell in love with the area and the villa and is now lucky enough to own it. He is delighted to be able to share this special place with others.
We had a wonderful time at Hafod Cae Maen, the setting of the property is very magical and the house is very welcoming and has such a homely feel. We loved the garden with its amazing views and great walks from your doorstep. Such a tranquil and relaxing place to stay and comfy bedrooms too, balcony bedroom is very special. We all had fun playing Cluedo in the library with the cosy open fire adding to the atmosphere. We enjoyed a day out at Portmeirion also visited Plas Brondanw and gardens a 20 minute drive away. This is our second time staying and hope we can return again soon. Thank you.
