About this property

The property offers off-road parking and a lovely garden, perfect for enjoying your favourite tipple on balmier evening whilst other members of the party soak in the luxury hot tub.

There is a utility just off the kitchen for your convenience. Finishing off the ground-floor is a well-appointed bathroom, perfect for washing off the day's adventures under the overhead shower or relaxing in the bath. A super-king-size with en-suite shower room and breath-taking sea views, two doubles, and a single can be found on the first floor, along with a well-appointed shower room and a cloakroom.

Black Rock Sands features a beautiful beach, the Greenacres Nature Reserve, and the popular Black Rock Sands Beach Club, which is known for its award-winning cask ales, cocktails, and wines, in addition to its delicious seasonal menu. Keep going to Porthmadog, where you can take a ride on the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, explore the Maritime Museum, enjoy a meal at The Port Café Deli & Restaurant or The Australia, try some beer from the Purple Moose Brewery, or head into Snowdonia National Park, home to numerous scenic hiking and cycling trails. Treat your loved ones with a stay at Awelfryn.

This charming seaside town is located only 5 miles from Porthmadog and is often referred to as the "Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia." The town's castle, built in the 13th century, stands proudly on a rocky promontory, dominating the landscape and providing breathtaking views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia range. The two beaches are perfect for water sports, and the nearby Snowdonia National Park offers a wealth of opportunities for hikers and cyclists. Take a leisurely stroll along the beaches and keep an eye out for porpoises playing in the waves. Afterward, unwind in one of the town's many pubs, restaurants, or tea rooms while enjoying a scoop of Cadwalader's ice cream. Aside from the wonderful Italianate gardens at Portmeirion and the Ffestiniog railway in nearby Porthmadog, other nearby attractions include Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle, and the stunning beaches and world-famous golf courses of the Llyn Peninsula.
