Right on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, in the charming town of Porthmadog, stands this cosy lake view cottage. From every room in the house, you can get lost gazing at the lake and the natural beauty of Snowdonia National Park. The real star of the show is the balcony, though. The perfect spot for watching the sunset as you snack on nibbles and enjoy a drink or two. With such fresh, clean air, you can even stargaze at night - ideal for city dwellers wanting to experience something different. There are plenty of hikes and trails in the area, and of course, there's Snowdon. You're in easy reach of Wales' highest mountain, just a twenty-minute drive away. Once your feet can no longer go on, your cosy cottage awaits. Kick off your muddy boots and sink into the plush furniture. In the colder months, you can get the fire going and crack open a bottle of something nice to finish off a fulfilling day. Or, take your bottle to the balcony to watch the sun go down, play cards and reminisce on the memory you've just made. No need to decide between a beach or a mountain getaway, Wales has it all. Harlech beach is just a twenty-three-minute drive away, lined with glowing golden sand. It'll have you questioning whether you're in the UK, until you look ahead and see the unmistakable Snowdon in clear view from the beach. With a picnic and drinks cooler in hand, you're set for the day. Swimming, laughing, and playing.

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...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
