In the kitchen you’ll find all new appliances and your welcome pack on the bright breakfast bar which captures the morning sun—as well as a washer-dryer in the utility area. The dining area, complete with bespoke seating, includes an extendable table to seat up to six, and is the perfect place to enjoy a meal to celebrate your holiday. Also on the ground floor, you’ll find a second toilet and a porch—ideal to leave your walking boots, flip flops or wetsuits after a day enjoying all the activities the area has to offer.

You’ll find miles of beautiful beach just a short 10-minute walk from the cottage (though there are steps—if you prefer a more sedate trip there are two beaches less than five minutes’ drive away). The cottage is also close to Porthmadog, home to a variety of cuisines, as well as a maritime museum and the famous Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway. Nearby Portmeirion offers award-winning restaurants, stunning architecture and gardens, as well as a host of independent shops and cafes.
