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.
