Bontnewydd 3.3 miles. Nestled in the rolling Welsh countryside in Yr Fron near Bontnewydd, Gwynedd is Groesffordd. This welcoming single-storey cottage has retained much of its original charm and benefits from two well-appointed bedrooms, a spacious sitting room with breath-taking views over the countryside and fine sea views, a spacious garden and an unbeatable location close to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, the Isle of Anglesey and the endless wonders of North Wales; the perfect choice for small families, friend or couples looking to explore Gwynedd. After a day full of exploring, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight into the kitchen/diner where you can rustle up a hearty meal that the whole family can enjoy around the dining table. On warmer evenings why not step outside to delight in an alfresco affair with the barbecue? After dinner, locate the spacious sitting room with a roaring open fire at its heart, snuggle up on the plush sofas, basking in its warmth, and flick on the Smart TV for a well-earned movie night. When the evening draws to a close, head to the bathroom to freshen up before sloping off to sleep in either the super-king-size or twin bedroom. If you can tear yourself away from this quaint dwelling, take a short drive into the village of Bontnewydd to stock up on all your essentials at the local store or to treat your loved ones to a break from the kitchen with a delicious meal at The Newborough Arms.
