lovely small cottage, very clean and well equipped in an ideal location for us. We would definitely like to come again added bonus with car park space at the back
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful little house. There were lots of amenities, hand soap, washing liquid, etc etc. And although there was a dishwasher, there wasn’t a washing machine. Clearly mentioned in the listing but I hadn’t noticed. The place was so clean and cute and the garden was immaculate. We loved sitting outside and enjoyed the sunshine. The beach was either up the hill (beyond beautiful with coves and sandy remote spots) or down the hill to the quayside with a lovely cafe and a short walk into Porthmadog. Lots of supermarkets and a few restaurants and pubs. We also went to an awesome ZipWire place an hour away. The parking space behind was good but not for an unconfident parker. The bathroom was downstairs and the sofa not very comfy. The WiFi was also good. My partner needed to work from home so this was import. I was honestly blown away by the surrounding beauty of the place.
Two bedrooms: 1 x double, 1 x bunk (space for tavel cot if you wish but one is not provided). Ground-floor shower room with walk-in shower, basin and WC. Kitchen. Living/dining room with woodburning stove
