You’ll feel right at home the moment you step into this vibrant, characterful cottage. All the eclectic touches, colourful rugs, period features, and overflowing bookshelves make this home feel cheerful and loved. The bedrooms are equally comforting and warm, and the twin room will please the kids (even big ones). In the morning, as you sip your coffee, the quaint kitchen glows with the warmth of the AGA. On warmer days, sit together on the patio for big lunches, and come evening, stargaze into the night with a mug of hot chocolate. Here on the coastline of North Wales, you’ll have a great view of the stars, and plenty of activities come the daytime. Drive for 10-minutes and hit Criccieth Beach - an award-winning beach with a mix of sand and shingle. Build sandcastles, or visit the real 13th-century castle, Castell Cricieth. Walk, hike or cycle through Snowdonia National Park, a 45-minute drive away, or spend days closer to the dream-house in the town of Porthmadog. This cottage and its backdrop are straight from a storybook, and like all good books, you won't want your stay to end.

About Porthmadog

Sandwiched between the sea and the mountains, this corner of Wales has some striking scenery to swoon over. And staying here gives you the best of both worlds – sweeping sands and rugged mountain tops, all in one day. Plus, if you like a narrow gauge, you’re in luck – Porthmadog is a hub for small tourist trains. There are three of them in all, perfect for lazy days pootling...
