The cottage in Porthmadog, Gwynedd, is a charming retreat designed for two guests, featuring one cozy bedroom. Nestled near the coast, this beautifully renovated property dates back to the 1700s and was originally an out kitchen for the farmhouse where the owners reside. The careful restoration has transformed the cottage into a stylish and comfortable haven, perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway. Accessed via steps leading down to a stable door, the ground floor boasts an open-plan layout that combines a fully fitted kitchen with modern appliances, including a microwave and electric cooker, and a welcoming sitting area.
The sitting area is designed for relaxation, furnished with a comfy sofa, TV, and a small table, all centered around a preserved original inglenook fireplace, now featuring a cozy wood-burning stove. This unique element adds charm and warmth to the space, especially during colder evenings. A separate bathroom includes an electric shower, basin, and WC, ensuring convenience and privacy. An oak and glass staircase ascends from the sitting area to a mezzanine bedroom, which is simply adorned with a king-size low bed, cotton bed linen, and a feather duvet. However, guests should note that the sloping ceiling in this eaves room results in limited headroom.
Outside, the cottage is complemented by a small garden area equipped with seating and a fire pit, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. Guests have access to a log store for firewood at no extra charge and a designated parking space for their vehicle. While pets are not allowed, there is an adjoining two-person cottage available for those wishing to visit with friends. The location is ideal for exploring the scenic Welsh coastal path, with the picturesque village of Borth y Gest just a 15-minute walk away, featuring a bistro and café. The harborside town of Porthmadog is reachable in 30 minutes on foot.
For those looking to venture further, a mile-long sandy beach, Black Rock Sands, is a 15-minute stroll from the cottage, leading to a pub and the Black Rock Beach Club, with the historic town of Cricieth and its castle just an hour's walk away. The cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring the majestic mountains of Snowdonia and the stunning beaches of the Llyn Peninsula. Nearby attractions include Porthmadog, known for its Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways, and the enchanting village of Portmeirion, just four miles away. During the peak summer months of June, July, and August, the cottage is available for seven-day bookings only, with a Friday changeover, making it a sought-after destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and adventure of the region.
