Our favourite beaches are all close by with a short drive to the costal towns of Harlech and Criccieth both with great places to eat, drink and shop. Our particular favourite restaurant is Dylans, in the winter months we love to grab a coffee before we go searching for driftwood. The cottage also a short drive to the beautiful and enchanting village of Portmeirion an Italianate style village on the coast. Betws-Y-Coed and Porthmadog are also less than a 30 minute drive you really will not be short of things to do.
