It is clean, warm and comfortable. We have visited it before and would happily recommend it to our friends. The TV reception is not great but we did not use it much. There were no problems with the WiFi which we needed to book tickets on the Ffestiniog railway. Thanks to the bypass, Dublin Street is very quiet, all the facilities you could possibly need are close-by. The Pencai on Porthmadog Harbour has become a firm favourite. The chippy in Tremadog is the best in the area according to local people.

( highly recommended) Bedrooms were a decent size, with comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. The back bedroom with the double and single bed was ideal. We found the front room very cosy and the log fire was superb at night, easy to light and clean out in the morning. The logs left to use were well received. The kitchen was brilliant for us as a family given its size and space, and we spent plenty of time around the dining table playing games, the option of the little seating area outside of the back door was a lovely idea for when the weather permits you to be able to sit out, morning or evening. Overall we would certainly recommend the Weavers cottage to couples of all ages and familyâs alike. Superb weekâs holiday. Regards, Steve
