Loved the Portmeirion China lovely cushions and throws, felt so homely. Lovely short stoll to coastal path and harbour. Garden was an added bonus and did catch the sunshine. Had a delicious curry from the Glaslyn Indian in Portmadog, visited Portmeirion and also enjoyed a swim in Llyn Pardarn. Hope to visit again. Thank you. â¤ï¸

Which is a rarity in holiday homes. Well appointed kitchen and a great shower. We spent most of the evenings down at the beach. Tumble drier was playing up and a washing line in the garden would have been useful, but we managed with the clothes airer.

The location for the cliff paths and beaches as well as an easy stroll into Porthmadog was perfect. The cottage was comfortable, quirky, well stocked and cosy. Everything we needed and the lovely bottle of wine that was left for our arrival was a nice added touch. The beds were comfortable with lovely snuggly duvets and pillows and the shower powerful and hot. Perfect. We will be back.
