About this property
A lovingly-restored semi-detached cottage with hot tub, formally a school house, situated a ten minute walk from the beach in Morfa Bychan. Refurbished to a high standard throughout, great care has been taken to create a warm, comfortable Morfa Bychan cottage in this idyllic seaside holiday village. The use of quality slate flooring with underfloor heating, oak block worktops and high-end furnishings, along with two woodburners, mean that this Morfa Bychan cottage is welcoming all year round. Outside, a delightful garden with luxury hot tub and views up towards Moel-y-Gest, backing onto the 4th hole of the reputable village golf course, make this an ideal Morfa Bychan cottage base for exploring this popular area and then relaxing in the sunshine afterwards. The famous Black Rock Sands, with miles of safe golden sandy beach, is a short walk, and all the village amenities with shops and pub are within 5 minutes' stroll. Porthmadog, the Ffestiniog Railway or the Italianate village of Portmeirion are all within easy reach of this Morfa Bychan cottage, which offers a wonderful base for walkers, golfers, beach lovers or those who simply want to spend time together in a quality cottage in beautiful surroundings.
Situated within a short stroll of the spectacular beach at Black Rock Sands, the lovely village of Morfa Bychan is home to a local store, a post office and an excellent 18-hole golf course. Just two miles from the bustling harbour town of Porthmadog on the picturesque Glaslyn Estuary, Morfa Bychan is well situated for the shops and restaurants this larger town provides. The Ffestiniog Railway is also within easy reach and visitors can travel by steam train through the spectacular Snowdonia scenery. Borth-y-Gest is another pretty village in the near vicinity and is close to numerous cliffs and coves whilst the unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is also within easy driving distance. Those interested in history will enjoy the castles at nearby Criccieth, Harlech and Caernarfon, whilst walkers will enjoy the trails through Snowdonia and the beautiful Lleyn Peninsula.

Owners were extremely helpful with a couple of questions we had whilst there. Hot tub is a massive bonus as was the secure garden for the dogs.

Owners were great, we were close to all amenities and it was very comfortable. Best of all the garden was secure for the dogs, this is not always the case and makes such a difference.
