About this property
Tucked away within the hustle and bustle of Porthmadog, is this charming semi-detached cottage, Bryn Coed. Benefitting from a central position, less than 250 yards from the high-street, this delightful abode welcomes families seeking a Welsh pursuit. Step into the living/dining room, which has been tastefully styled with two leather sofas; here you can curl up, flick through the Smart TV and enjoy a family night in. Move into the kitchen, fitted with all the essentials for a short break, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine, so you can wash your muddy clothes straight away! Gather at the dining table and serve your lovingly prepared home-cooked meals, remembering these moments forever as you toast to a long-awaited getaway. As you look to rest, upstairs offers a king size bedroom and bathroom with shower (restricted headroom), while on the ground floor there is a family room with a double bed and single bed, ideal for those who find the stairs a little challenging. To the exterior of Bryn Coed you have a small yard area with picnic bench and a distant coastal view, perfect for an afternoon snack in the sunshine, or you can stroll into the town centre and grab a bite at one of the many tempting eateries! There are also a plethora of independent shops to pick up some souvenirs for your loves ones back home, as well as a collection of attractions such as the Maritime Museum where you can learn the history of the town, and the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, journeying through 40 miles of rural pasture and forests. If exploration takes you further afield then be sure to visit Blaenau Ffestiniog, home to the wonderful Bounce Below, a unique trampoline park set in underground slate caverns, or take to the heights of the Zip World Titan, an exhilarating experience as you soar through the sky at speeds of up to 70mph! Should you fancy a day of sunbathing, there are a number of golden sandy beaches such as Black Rock Sands Beah, ideal for an afternoon of seaside fun with your little ones playing some beach games. Bryn Coed is a great base for taking on the delights of Wales and Eryri (Snowdonia).
Resting on the Glaslyn Estuary is this bustling harbour town, Porthmadog. A major hub, Porthmadog offers a wealth of shops, restaurants, pubs, cafés and attractions, such as the narrow-gauge Ffestiniog railway, running all the way to Caernarfon. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk from the village, while a little further afield lies the Italianate style village of Portmeirion, perfect for a day out.

Having a fairly young baby i was mortified when she was having floor play time to smell the rug in the living room. All the rooms where decorated to a nice standard but it does need a deep clean. I was shocked when we arrived to see that the log burner can not be used by guests when one of the advertising points was that you could have open fire. We had to fix the toilet flush when we arrived too but that was just one of them things. The owners really need to sort the damp and black mould out and make sure the property is fully cleaned and it would have had a 5 star rating.

Parking wasnât an issue as we parked Terrace Road. I would recommend bringing a big casserole pan as the two small pans provided arenât great for doing a stew or chilli for 4. Spent ages looking for the light switch in the kitchen to turn off only to realise itâs on an infrared sensor and turns off after a few minutes. Very comfortable and warm. Would love to stay again.

The cottage is lovely and has a nice feeling about it . It needs a professional deep clean skirting boards cupboard doors etc . We had a private chef come to cook for us and we had to clean everything before he arrived so it was suitable . Parking is none existant . I live in port so i know how difficult it can be but during holiday season it is really difficult to find a car parking space a lot of the time I had to park in the high street or leave it at home 5 mins away which wasnât ideal with a elderly wheelchair user . The shower over the bath is isnât designed properly so as you can see and smell itâs very damp in there and is leaking to down stairs it needs re configuration also if your over 5ft tall you have to hunch in the shower . However the bath is very long which was nice . Heating system doesnât work with hive on the wall unless you go into the boiler cupboard and turn it on first which the hive shows thatâ itâs working already so nice you turn the boiler on itâs great . All in all we had a lovely week but I think itâs just time it had a little tlc to make it perfect . And yes we would return
