It is furnished with comfy sofas, decorative fireplace, Smart TV and a large selection of books and games. There is a cloakroom on the ground floor under the stairs with a loo and wash hand basin - beware of the limited headroom! There are four bedrooms. At the front, the two double rooms have impressive views over Moel y Gest. The single bedroom and large twin room overlook the terraced garden. All have original Victorian fireplaces (not working) and carefully chosen soft furnishings. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, wash hand basin and loo. A door from the kitchen leads up steep steps to a terraced garden with table and chairs where you can relax with a drink, or enjoy coffee with the morning papers. The front patio also has a couple of benches to enjoy the lovely views. This is a fantastic, peaceful location. It's just a short walk down to the bay, where you'll find the village tearoom and restaurant. This corner of North Wales has some of the most breathtaking scenery in the United Kingdom, and you'll find plenty of good restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets! There are some fantastic attractions just a short drive away. Wander around the Italianate village of Portmeirion, or climb to the top of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales and England. You can ride on the newly extended Welsh Highland Railway, which runs to Caernarfon through picturesque Aberglaslyn, or relax on the wonderful sandy beach of Black Rock Sands.

The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway, where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.
