Porthmadog Beach Let

This welcoming cottage in the stunning Glaslyn Valley offers is a wonderful springboard for discovering the Snowdonia National Park (0.5 miles). It's in a row of houses just 0.5 miles from the small village of Tremadog, where you'll find a real ale pub and some shops. The property is next to the owners' working farm and offers comfortable accommodation for up to five guests, over two bedrooms. It's perfect for a family or two couples who wish to bring along one child, too.

Comfortable, light and airy, the cottage is a real home away from home. In the roomy sitting room, which has attractive wooden ceiling beams, guests can sink into the three-piece suite and catch up on some TV. The fitted kitchen has everything you need for meal prep, and there's a pine table for enjoying them at, along with a lovely pew bench. From here, stairs lead up to the first-floor bedrooms as well as the family bathroom. A quaint decorative scheme with printed fabrics and muted tones adds to the appeal. Outside the front of the property, there's a patio area with a table and chairs where you can dine alfresco in mild weather.

You'll be 4 miles from Porthmadog where you can pick up the Welsh Highland Railway for a scenic ride. In Beddgelert, 7 miles away, enjoy a pretty riverside walk and visit the famous Gelert's grave - a must for history fans. Criccieth (5 miles) has a castle you can visit, while the Italianate-style village of Portmeirion (5 miles) also makes a fantastic day out. We'd also recommend exploring the pretty Llyn Peninsula during your trip.
