Borth-Y-Gest, located in Gwynedd, Wales, is home to the charming holiday cottage St Agnes, which accommodates up to four guests in two beautifully appointed bedrooms.

The property is designed to provide a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal retreat for families or friends seeking a picturesque getaway.
The cottage features a bright and contemporary open-plan living area that maximizes the breathtaking views, enhanced by original floorboards and modern furnishings. A cozy electric wood-burning-effect stove adds warmth to the space, while the dining area is strategically placed to allow guests to enjoy the scenery during meals. A Juliet balcony further invites relaxation and enjoyment of the lovely sea vistas.

Guests can easily explore the nearby sandy cove, affectionately known as ‘Sian's Cove’, and enjoy local amenities such as a restaurant and café. A short drive or walk leads to the vibrant town of Porthmadog, where visitors can find shops, galleries, and dining options. The area offers a wealth of outdoor activities, from paddle boarding and sailing to hiking in the Snowdonia mountains. While the property is a haven for nature lovers and photographers, it's important to note that the steep stairs and multiple levels may pose challenges for those with mobility issues.
