About this property

Resting on a quiet estate in the popular seaside town of Porthmadog, is this delightful detached bungalow, Seaside retreat. Sleeping up to five guests in an all-ground-floor layout, this property is perfect for a family getaway to the Welsh coast, being just a short walk away from the beauty of Black Rock Sands Beach, as well as within easy reach of the Snowdonia National Park. Park up on the spacious drive before heading into your home-from-home, where you are met with a light and bright, and modern decor. Discover lovely blue soft seating in the sitting room where you can sink into the sofa and catch some favourite shows or films on the Smart TV, a relaxing way to end the day, with an electric stove-effect fire adding extra warmth and character. In the next room, you can spend your evenings around the dining table, set wonderfully before the sliding patio doors looking out to the enclosed garden, you can enjoy a board game brought from home, or keep the chef of the group company as they set to work preparing a home-cooked meal. In the sleek white fitted kitchen, you can make use of the electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, and a handy dishwasher and washing machine too. Dine alfresco in the garden on balmy summer evenings, with an outdoor dining table and furniture to relax at with a glass of wine. Retire to one of the lovely bedrooms with crisp white bed linens and bright white interior, with a king-size bedroom, a double bedroom and a single bedroom to choose from, with plenty of storage for your things too. Feel refreshed within the sparkling bathroom, which is home to a P-shaped bath with an overhead shower, offering you a choice of how to best prepare for your day of adventures. Discover the wondrous Black Rock Sands just an easy stroll away, with a long two-mile stretch of sandy beach offering a beautiful spot for sunbathing, swimming and plenty of watersports including sailing, wind-surfing and water-skiing. A convenience shop rests nearby as well as two pubs, while more choice can be found in the centre of the town with restaurants, supermarkets and cafés. From Porthmadog you can take a fun trip on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways running along 14-miles of stunning rural countryside and forests on a vintage narrow gauge steam train. Visit the Maritime Museum for local history lovers, or make some new friends at Black Rock Llamas, taking them on a lovely trek in the scenic Welsh countryside setting. Walkers can discover the Rhyd Ddu footpath taking you up Snowden just under 15-miles away, offering easy access to the fantastic Snowdonia National Park. Explore the Llyn Peninsula with its stunning coastline and handful of popular towns and villages, including the sailing haven of Pwllheli, and the beautiful beaches at Abersoch and Criccieth. For a variety of attractions and delights all around, stay at Seaside retreat for a great family holiday in Wales. The Black Rock Beach Club is 5 minutes’ walk away up Beach Road. Good reasonably priced food and drinks and has a relaxed atmosphere and service. There is a lovely outdoor seating area and a children’s play area too

The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway, where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. Also within reach is the famous Zip World Slate Caverns and Bounce Below where you can get involved with a variety of activities including the thrilling zip wires and underground caverns to explore; there is something here to suit the whole family. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.

    Would definitely love to stay again. The only criticism was the times the heating came on. Don’t know if this was because we were there the weekend the clocks changed but ideally it’d be nice to have it warm to shower, get dressed and breakfast and for it to be warm early evening when we arrived back to have dinner. There were instructions to turn up the thermostat but that didn’t seem to do the job. There is a small electric fire in the lounge, but that just heats the lounge. The heating seemed to be on at bizarre times like during the night so the bedroom was too hot, but cold in the morning to get up, we were up around 7am. And cold to have a shower. The microwave needs replacing as the lining is peeling off; not sure how safe that is to use. Otherwise, a perfect stay! Thank you.

    We enjoyed our stay and the property is close to Black Rock Sands. One panel of fence to side of property is down and felt that security to back of property was not secure enough. Back garden needs some tidying.

    It is in a quiet location, 2 miles from the centre of Porthmadog and 5 minutes walk from the beach at Black Rock Sands. There is a good local bus service several times a day into the centre of Porthmadog. We enjoyed our stay at Seaside Retreat and would highly recommend it. The weather was perfect too.
