"The perfect cottage in a beautiful part of the world."
So much to do close by and a superb, flawless cottage to come back to. We had an amazing time.

"Lovely time staying at the cottage."
perfect location for going out and about. everything you would need and more is in the cottage, home from home. Children well catered for with loads of games and books ready there waiting to be played with. access to the cottage can be a bit difficult if you have mobility issues. Porthmadog only a couple of miles away as is a large Tesco store. Steam train journeys a must and my favourite was the Harbour Master. we really enjoyed are stay at the cottage and would book again Porthmadog only a couple of miles away as is a large tesco store. Steam train journeys a must for anyone, The Harbour Master was my favourite.

"A very enjoyable holiday."
The house was very comfortable, warm and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked. We discovered some fine walks in the hills behind the house and some beautiful beaches a short drive away. We would certainly booked it again, ideally situated.

"Our stay at the house was fantastic."
The property is a gorgeous old stone cottage in a wonderful setting. A comfortable walk to the beach and the pubs. Property was very clean and homely, and the owners offered an excellent service. We will be staying here again and would recommend to any parties; families or couples!
-
"Such a beautifully and thoughtfully furnished property."
We all enjoyed the comfort of the lounge! Great access to local areas - we found the guest book full of helpful advice on where to go. Definitely will be back - North Wales is such a stunning place to visit at any time of year.

"Property was very clean and tidy, have everything you expect for a self catering cottage."
Needs bit of fumigation, many spiders all around. Access into the property is not very good , from front or from the back. Size is very good , its a 3 bed house rather than cottage.

"Great cottage in a lovely location."
-
"A lot of thought has gone in to making this cottage very welcoming & homely."
It was spotlessly clean & there were lots of books/toys/games/DVDs to everyone entertained. It is very well equipped even down to spare light bulbs should you need them. The property is situated on a steep hillside so not for anyone with mobility issues, and unless you are a keen walker, you have to drive to the local shop. There was no mobile phone telephone signal at this property & wifi signal does not reach in the twin bedroom which was an problem with my teen!
-
"The cottage was well organised,everything was there we needed and extras 9year old enjoyed the games cupboard."
All in all a lovely experience,near to mountains and beaches
-
"The house is very comfortable and homely."
Everything a family with a toddler requires. Location of the house is fantastic as we were close to so many attractions. Wish we could have stayed longer.
-
"I think it should be emphasised that access is very steep and rough underfoot at the front and not suitable for people with even slightly limited mobility."
There are steps down to the back door but when we were there these were inaccessible. We managed thanks to the kindness of neighbours but until the back is accessible this cottage is difficult to get into.
-
"We had a fantastic holiday the accommodation was faultless as was the weather."
We had a brilliant time and would recommend the house to anyone, though a degree of fitness is required to gain access to the house as it's on a hill.
-
"Was like home from home, would stay again"
-
"We were very pleased with the accommodation and its location."
The cottage is ideally suited to explore the Snowdonia National Park, the local little trains of Wales, castles, beaches and walks. Thankfully the weather was kind to us as past experience of North Wales generally involves rain! The only downsides were that we could not find a hairdryer (two ladies in the group!!) and the parking. Climbing Everest after a day out in the hills was a test of our endurance! Still everyone enjoyed themselves and we could well return in the future!

About the location
PRENTEG
Porthmadog 4 miles.
The small village of Prenteg stands at the foot of the Moel Ddu Mountain, close to Tremadog Bay, and is surrounded by the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Historically a slate and copper mining community, the village is today renowned for the regular sightings of Wales' only nesting Osprey. Just 4 miles away, aside the Glaslyn Estuary, the bustling harbour town of Pothmadog is alive with an exciting marina and an array of individual shops and restaurants, whilst being home to the historic Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. The picturesque cliffs and coves and enormous Black Rock Beach makes for an idyllic day out, whilst the fabulous Italianate village of Portmeirion is a must. With the medieval castles at nearby Criccieth, Harlech and Caernarfon and a host of excellent walking and cycling opportunities within easy reach, this is an ideal location for enjoying all that Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula have to offer. Several beautiful sandy beaches can be found within a 10-20 minute drive. Harlech beach where the golden sands are 4 miles long, backed by a fantastic dune system and one of North Wales’ best golf courses (Royal St David’s), Borth-y-Gest, a hidden gem, Shell Island, Black Rock Sands, and we can’t forget Porthdinllaen, where a walk around the picturesque peninsula takes you to the Ty Coch Inn on the beach, rated one of the top 10 best beach bars in the world. There is an abundance of great beaches on the Llyn Peninsula including Porth Oer Beach, known as Whistling Sands due to the way the sand “squeaks” under your feet which is also a great spot for surfing/body boarding and a great beach café.
