We enjoyed lots of walking especially along the beach and so did the dog! A good place to recharge the batteries and I would highly recommend it.

The accommodation had everything you'd need for your stay. It was also the ideal central location for the events / places we'd planed to visit. Supermarkets just a short drive into Porthmadog to stock up for the week. The narrow lane in from the main road can be tight at times if passing oncoming traffic but thankfully, it wasn't too busy. Only wish we'd planed to stay for two weeks instead of one. Would highly recommend a holiday at this cottage if planning a trip. Looking forward to our next stay. Mike, Julie & Tia (the dog).

Great walks from the doorstep, including (20 mins) to the vast expanse of Black Rock Sands (you can even drive along the beach and pitch camp right by the waters edge). So much to see and do, will have to come again for all the things we missed out. The only very minor thing lacking with the property, a bit more kitchen cupboard space for groceries would have been useful. Diolch
