The home is super spacious, clean, modern and the views are amazing. Itâs only a short walk into the centre of Porthmadog from the accommodation which is tucked away in a quiet corner, the perfect location. We all slept very well in the house, there was everything you could need there too. We will definitely return next year but this time for a longer stay! Thank you to Mark and Jo for the recommendations of local places to eat, we had some beautiful meals. Thank you also for the welcome pack which was very much appreciated! All round wonderful stay.
