Completing the property is the sitting area, with a TV and books for your entertainment, and the perfect view for watching the tide come in and out and spotting some local birds - you even have distant views of the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Steam Railway from here! When sitting out with a cup of tea, you may spot Curlew, Teal or Redshank on the banks, or even Ospreys, Cormorants, or Black-tailed Godwits exploring the water’s edge, while anglers’ fish off the wall just outside of the property.

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.

Well laid out and equipped. Using the third bedroom for the kitchen is a great idea. Really spacious and comfortable. Only downside was I had to clean the kitchen and bathroom floors when we arrived. The bedding is past its best as one of the pillow cases was split. However, it didnât distract from our enjoyment of the property and we will be booking again.
