Continue to Borth Y Gest, where you can spend a day at the beach, visit the Black Rock Llamas, or test out your swing at the excellent golf club. Continue onto Caernarfon, where you will find the World Heritage Caernarfon Castle, a Segontium Roman Fort and the popular Black Boy Inn Restaurant and Bar. Thrill seekers will not want to miss the opportunity to venture into the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, where they can embark up the famous peak, or tour underground mines at Zip World Llechwedd.

Portmeirion, made renowned as the setting for The Prisoner and the finale of Cold Feet, is located on a craggy clifftop on its own private peninsula, surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. Castles may be seen in the vicinity at Criccieth and Harlech, and there are many beautiful, untouched beaches, such as Black Rock Sands, that stretch as far as the eye can see.

    Couldn’t find a breadboard and that is the only slight criticism. Really enjoyed the stay and would certainly recommend.

    The pictures on the site are in no way misleading, and may not fully do justice to the setting. We had an excellent time using the property as a base for some wonderful walks along the nearby coastal paths out to Borth y Gest, Morfa Bychan and Criccieth. We ventured into the Hills around Croesor and enjoyed the Autumn colours and the breathtaking scenery. The town is very near and yet there was no disturbing noise other than Owls hunting in the early hours and the seabirds. I really cannot recommend this place highly enough. Its our second stay and we will return. Thank you for sharing.

    The property is clean and well maintained with comfortable furnishings, and the balcony view did not disappoint. We did not plan to self cater, but the presence of a good quality hob, oven, microwave oven, and dishwasher meant that this would not be a problem. One reviewer mentioned that the stairs up to the front door might prove too steep for some. I have to disagree. They are no steeper than those in the average house, and my wife, who has mobility issues managed them with no difficulty. We would unreservedly recommend this property to anybody wishing to visit this area.
